Hi everyone,

And Happy New Year!!

Hello to all the new members and my old friends.I'm glad i found you all again.

I've been very ill for the last 5 days with the worst cold of my life.I'm not really over it yet,but work beckons tomorrow.I certainly won't be able to run for a few days.

AF well done on your difficult sounding race.That's the first CRAC result of 2012.Hopefully plenty more to come.

Tomorrows tune is a fast and furious one by my fave band of the moment.It's The Vaccines with 'Norgaard'.Guaranteed to lift the pace a bit.

Helloooooooo Just back from a lovely meal out with the family although I really need to stop eating rich and fatty foods.

Phew you guys have been very busy.

Not managed to run today and TBH was feeling so depressed this morning as foot seemed a bit sore and I could see no end to it. I know I have put some weight on because I cant get out and Run.

I did ice for 10 mins with a Bottle yesterday though and had hoped it was a miracle cure. Decided to get some insoles for when I walk in my normal shoes though as I reckon that is causing me a lot of the problem. I have noticed to night that foot seems a lot better so I am hopeful of a little plodette tomorrow. Have been taking Nurofen too and got some Glucosamine to see if that helps. I am wondering now if it is more the inflamation that is the problem rather than heel spurs. My firned who is looking at it on Thurs deals with soft tissue damage so she should have some idea.

D.J sorry you have been feeling poorly.Hope you recover soon.

OK.  Sorry about that.  Being a performer, if I hear 'West End appointment', especially one so early, I automatically think 'audition', especially as most Open Auditions seem to be round about that time.

Shame.  Imagine The Phantom auditioning for The Phantom.

morning all ....RR I love the stage and miss my ballet dearly....i too hear West end and just instantly yhink greasepaint,ballet shoes, tutu, dressing room...mr llb and my mum and dad always laugh at me because right to this day i still say 'audition' when i mean 'interview' !! ;lol....i cant help it! spent so many years in front of stern dance examiners and audition panels the word is emblazoned on my mind!

DJ, hope you are feeling better...january will soon be over guys and spring awaits !!!

Morning all!

Road runner - I can see you have the performing bug.  Are you working on anything at the moment?  What sort of stuff do you do?  I never did much before I got sucked into teaching but I did star in a one act opera called 'The Telephone' at the Purcell room on the South Bank (for one night only).  It's my claim to fame! I don't miss it though as I used to get very nervous.

DJ - Get well soon!  Thanks for the tune.

Ecky - Hope you get to the cause of your foot problem.  How annoying for you.

Limper - Take it easy at work.  Gales don't sound nice.

Chili - Well done on your bargain trainers and your 5 miles in the dark.

Loula - Nice of your friend to crew. 

Hi to everybody else!

Beautiful sunny day here but it started off very frosty.  Hubby is off up the mountains again to try to finish picking the olives before snow arrives.  He is really late this year but the olives are noticeably bigger than the ones he picked 3 weeks ago because we have had a bit of rain.  Most, if not all will be made into oil this year though, because they are smaller than usual (very dry summer and autumn).

Easy day for me as I lose 3 lessons - some classes are going to the cinema for a New Year treat.   Hoping for a run tonight with hubby after work while kids are swimming.

Have a good day! xx

Morning all,

Back at work today. Actually don't mind getting back to reality and earning some money and eating healthier food.

Weather is horrific down south today. May go out for a nifty 3.5 miler later today.

Have a good day.

Morning.

Phew what horrible Weather. Thought I would try a little plod this Morning.I was going to do a 5 mile route but decided to cut it short.Good job I did because it poured it down.My shoosies are soaking and I must have weighed a few extra lbs with all the water.

I did manage just over 3 miles but I am very slow lately.Foot seemed OK still a little sore but not as bad as it was.I just need to get my Extra Christmas weight back off now and start training again.

Hope you get your run Jude.

Work for me today after 2 weeks off.I am too spoiled at Christmas.Oh well only a few more weeks then we have another week off.

Hi Limper  Loula R.R and A.F.

Morning Folks.

Hi DJ and welcome back..glad you found us and sorry to hear your not feeling too good..Hope you feel better soon.

Well its hurricaine weather out there this morning...Alot of our main road bridges have been closed due to overturned lorries....lamposts coming down on other roads...erm i am not looking forward to walking to work later..hope it calms down by then...has been going on for hours now.....

AF...Hope you get out for your nifty run later...Did you get your doctors appointment?????

Loula...back at work for you too...hope its not too busy for you....

Hi Chili....we still have lots of sweets,cheese and things to tempt us in the house too.....

Ecky..Glad ou enjoyed your meal...i do hope you get your foot sorted out...sounds painful.

Hi Jude...Enjoy your easy day at work.

Phantom..Hope you get out for your run tomorrow.

Hi Byeck,Limper,Mathschick,Gastank............and all.............Have a good day............

morning all

last day off for me so had a nice lie in - ruined a bit by the kids arguing! Anyway, OH back at work, so I am planning on going to the gym for some cross training when he gets back.

byeck - hope daughter is better, there is nothing worse than puking!

eckythump - you have my sympathy with the foot problems, I am also getting down about not running much. despite not running for 3 weeks it seems to have got worse and is hurting in places where it didn't hurt before. In a way I am wishing I had just ignored the initial swelling and carried on as normal, but the sensible part of me knows that that would have been silly - the swelling was obviously caused by something!

weather dreadful here too, stay safe everyone
