37 days 21 hours 56 minutes 19 seconds...approximiately... Feeling grand. Not panicking at all. Cool, calm and collected...:eek::eek: If you believe that, i'll take the ammunition of your gullibility and have a field day with practical jokes!chinguetti wrote: »Well done on those 5 miles. Don't get too worried about niggles, your mind will begin to play tricks on you which will make the smallest thing into a mountain. This is normal and happens to everyone. I could give you examples but you would then read it and think you have the aliment so no examples....
I'm looking forward to this log when taper madness hits in about 25 days, it should be great reading.
Oh my god that's exactly what I have. I think it's terminal. Arrgh!:eek:
I'm glad my misery will be such a source of entertainment. If you'd like me to take a creative writing lesson in the meantime just to really bring it up to scratch, I'd certainly do that for you!
Quick question, are you spending much time in your 6" heels?
Not as much time are you and digdig are.6 inch heels and compression socks, and sports bras and straws. People stare but I'm comfortable. It made for some interesting DCM training and it didn’t really go so well on the day when I had to run in trainers and tights (too restricting) but I’d take the 18 week training / cross dressing experience over a 2 hour marathon any day! Keep up the good work, you’re awesome!
Okaaayy…
I did add in the ‘you’re awesome’ bit myself but I know it’s what you think so I was just helping you to find the words. You’re welcome.I'll be there in spirit as myslef and RK run into the olympic stadium on the international breakfast run :pac: let us know how your 20 miler goes. I'll definately be up for the next one on Paddy's day.
Spirit is better than nothing I suppose. I can't believe you're bailing on my biggie after it was both of yisser talk that got me into this ridiculous situation in the first place! :pac:
Best of luck this weekend you crazy cats! I haven't had the time to catch up the crazy in your logs this week but I look forward to a good read tonight4/6 says he's Meno's twin.....;)
You say twin, we hear female dog...:cool:0 -

That was a constructive comment on my part, I wondered would they add to the strain or tightness as I know when you're not working/running you like to get the glad rags on!:( Always the smarta5s!:P
Sorry, it's just difficult to take you seriously. Ever. And I'm so quick witted too!
I've gotten bold in work and only wear the good heels in meetings. When I'm just faffing around the office, I have a hideous sensible pair of granny heels from clarks. I actually find that a day walking around in pumps i.e. stupid shoes with no support would result in more pain/tightness. I feel like I might as well be jumping on concrete barefoot with those. I'm gonna have to start wearing the clunker runners full time. My high arches do not like flat shoes.

Saturday 5th March
- 3.20miles – Av Pace 8.46
20miler postponed because there was too much to do and I also would have been murdered had I fallen asleep in my dinner at 4pm which would have been very likely. Managed to nip out between party preparation and christening for a quickie around the block – partly because I wanted to go for a run, mostly because I couldn’t cope with the several opinionated chefs in the kitchen! It was a nice run but I was a little concerned that I wasn’t doing myself any favours in advance of today...
Sunday 6th March
- 20.83miles – 3.20.15 – Av Pace 9.36
I'm happy today just in case you didn't guess...
Headed over to the park for 8 this morning and did just over 6 miles before hooking up with mr.slowpoke and spagbol who had agreed to haul my a$s to 20 miles. Took a gel and a quick drink at the car and headed off. Had my new belt filled with gels and the bottle filled with lucozade sport and was ordered reminded at regular intervals to drink. Felt pretty good throughout so I figure they knew what they were talking about. Took another gel at about 16 miles and at that stage I was thinking ‘Ah grand, only another 4 miles. Easy!’ Not bad. Finished off on a lovely scenic trot around Farmleigh. Was feeling a bit wrecked at 18 but when I hit 19 at 3.02 I felt great! Did an extra little loop before the car park to bring it over 20 and it got closer to 21 but I wasn’t allowed lap the carpark...:rolleyes: Delighted with that run this morning. The Cheshire cat grin couldn’t be wiped from my ugly mug! Huge thanks to the lads for coming out and getting me through that. The conversation was as intellectual as ever... my post race Mallow outfit will be carefully thought out and hopefully up to the lads’ expectations!;)0 -

Post LSR recovery yesterday was interesting... I was sitting on the couch in my compression socks eating and drinking (of course!) and got a call from my mates to say they were on the way to collect me for our date to flirt with death by flinging ourselves off the side of a cliff! Ok, it may not have been that dramatic but climbing up a hill to abseil back down it was not high on my list of priorities yesterday. It was fun though. Until I had to climb 179, yes (I counted) ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE :eek: steps, to drop my helmet and safety harness back to the top. Good grief I thought my legs were going to melt! Anyway it was a fun afternoon and it excused dinner #2 of the day...ish!:rolleyes:
Now for the next 24 hours, in advance of lent, I intend to live 100% on junk food! (I just had pancakes and a jar of nutella for dinner!) From Wednesday we'll have the annual hell of no chocolate, sweets or crisps. And by 'annual' I mean second - last year was my first ever successful attempt. (The only exception will be marathon related jellies!)
Week 10 / 14
Monday Attack of the Foam Roller
Tuesday 5 miles
Wednesday 8 miles
Thursday 5 miles
Friday Rest
Saturday 12 miles
Sunday ?
I think I must have lost count at some stage. Surely I couldn't be at week 10 already?! Huh?!
I'm away this weekend so I'll see how those 12 miles fit in. I'll get them though. Looks like the other runs are all gonna be pre-work for the week so early nights all round!0 -
