    Morning all!


    My weekend did not go quite as planned. I was running a marathon on Saturday and there was also camping available at the start/finish area. So we turned up on Friday evening and pitched our tent and I got an early night. The marathon was set to be a lot of fun, it's an off-road course, and 'Roman' themed so there were a lot of togas and it was started by a chap dressed as a Roman Centurion galloping up the field on a horse. I felt fine when I started running but unfortunately anything I ate or drank during the run just didn't seem to go into my stomach, it just sat on top and I felt very sick. In fact I was sick a lot :o. I felt so bad that I had to walk from mile 15....which was quite a long way as the 'marathon' was actually 28.5 miles. So it ended up being my longest and my further marathon by a long stretch. For the last few miles I was so looking forward to getting back to my tent and lying down. But when I got back to my tent I found that the wind had snapped some of the peg elastics, and bent the poles, so the tent was completely flattened :(. There was no way I could fix it and my husband had gone off for a long walk whilst I was running so rather than having a nice lie down I packed all of our stuff and the tent back into the car and we drove home. On the plus side it meant that we didn't have to pack the tent away in the tipping rain which started in the early hours of Sunday, but I must admit I was wallowing in self-pity for the rest of Saturday.



    In the end I only ran 15 miles (and walked 13.5!) so at least my legs aren't sore today. I think I probably didn't leave enough time between eating my breakfast and starting the run, but it is very frustrating. :(


    We also tried THREE different T's on the way home and none stocked Happy Down.


    I'll stop moaning now. ;)

    Only? :eek::eek::eek:
    Hope you are feeling better now :)

    Reminder for those who haven't paid attention - many AP vouchers expire tomorrow - Gweggs, £20 meal, £10 meal.

    Don't assume midnight expiry either as some have different times - check your vouchers!

    The WonTwo coughee/GC and the O3 ice cream.
    Been waiting in for SSE gas engineer to sort my boiler today "between 0800 and 1700" "he will call when he is on his way" .

    Not a sound or sighting, so missed out. :(
    Why, oh why, can't they give you a quick call first thing, just to give you an idea, surely they have their day planned out first thing?
    5 hours gone, another possible 4 to wait......


    Oh, remember tomorrow is Nerd on O3 and Wedunsdae probably a WonTwo choccy motel
