  • I've just run 10k for the first time in ages. The first half was horrible but thankfully it got better as I went through. Think I'm really going to struggle in the Mid Oct half marathon though. I really had intended to do a lot more training but I've just been very lazy (and busy but mostly lazy).

    Hiya,

    What race is in October? Everyone gets lazy when a race seems a fair way off.
    Except on here that is, because people remind you.

    Whats your thoughts for the next month then, up to the race?

    I'll have you know that my words were written in all innocence :A

    But then I saw your response :rolleyes:

    I think the fact that no one else saw the smuttiness in that speaks volumes!

    Anyway, off home soon and then a run tomorrow morning!

    3. Sallyx - "I'll be Fixtures Secretary if thats OK with everyone else"

    4. Rich - "I'm up for being Coach, I like the idea of running but using other people's legs - it appeals to the lazy sod in me"

  • Its getting a little confusing for my limited brain capabilities to keep track of who's planning to do what in terms of races. And since the number of people seems to be expanding like an American's waistline I think it is probably a good idea to keep a running schedule with outline plans and then, as specific races are entered, updated accordingly. So far:

    His name probably isn't Richard, we just call him rich because of his username. Then again, it might be richard, in a double-bluff kind of way!

    OK, really off now. Catch up with you tomorrow...

    Beinerts, did you buy anything
    No, nothing for me.
    Sally, what did you buy? A nike +? what's that then???
    Yes, it's a running gizmo that tells you about your distance, pace etc.
    Becky, what did you buy?
    I don't know and I'm not sure I want to!
    Rich, did you buy anything, or were you just naughty?
    Just naughty. Very naughty. Don't ask.
