Just a little bit further 2012

Mr by'eck, it was the real thing.  We do Park Run as a family every (most) Saturday mornings.  I personally wouldn't consider a treadmill simply because ... well ... I just wouldn't.

Thanks Mathschick and Rocker. I will do it next week then if you reckon I will be okay. I suppose tapering and such is like everything,very individual but as long as its not a real  no-no then I will do it.

I did have some concern over a friend today who is running a HM tomorrow and was buying new shoosies to run with. Had advice from a professional who told him he would be okay.

Hiya Mr Chilli.

Mr By Eck,is By Eck okay

ok, now i have calmed down a bit. I did around 16/17 miles.

MrChili, you are making fab progress.  Be very proud of yourself (and your family) for the journey you have begun.

Ecky, I would love a cuppa if there's one going. I have no idea about running plans as I just run and see what happens.  I am planning a very short taper as I am trying to introduce my body to the training it will be doing for ndw50. I'll probably have a shorter Long run on the 12th October but we'll see.

MC, did you see in the news about the 80 something who killed a woman and injured someone else in a carpark?  It's horrible when people aren't safe to drive but don't want to admit it.

Rocker, that sounds a lovely run. I am wishing I was able to travel about to find all these lovely places to run

Thanks all ... by 'eck, I'm really glad you're okay.  Cars can be replaced ... you can't be.

*pops kettle on* wont be long By Eck. Where is the trolley when you need it ? Well done on your miles too. Thanks for the advice too.

yes, I am fine thank you ecky. 

Oh, I have invented our very own CRAC trail mix using ingredients found in my baking cupboard (of course!)

1 handful of cake fruit (including peel for a bit of tastiness)

1 handful of almonds (or any other nut you find, this is for protein)

1 small handful of mini marshmallows (not as sweet as you think they will be)

Mr By Eck my Hubby would be exactly the same if it was me.

yup, I am well'ard me.  I worked in a prison with lots of norty boys who did silly things like think if stab people they won't get found out (even if it is in front of prison officers!)

PSSSSSTTTTTTT

I've found another run - Punchbowl 20/30, 10th February

Wow By Eck,I would be really scared in one of those places. I had a fit the other day cos I had to walk past Wormwood Scrubs.

nah, not scary cos they is all numpties.  They got caught.  And we had panic buttons and C&R training and more brains in my little finger than the whole lot put together! (Plus I was responsible for their wages so they didn't dare cross me)

ooooooooooo by eck are you ok????????????

*wheels in trolley with tea and cakes*

punchbowl   30 sounds good!! and i found  a 40miler for 7th april !! cyrilbeans 40mile challenge!!!;)

oooh, lou that sounds fab,  What's on the trolley?

crumpets, scones and shortbread

any toasted teacakes? I really fancy one tonight, topped with proper butter

LOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUULA, you never let us down with your Trolley of delights. Crumpet for me please.

Yeh By Eck I bet they were very nice to you if you were sorting their dosh out.

Little Ecky had a bit of trouble with his letter to the priest today. When asked why he wanted to do Confirmation he said "cos you made me" then after thinking about it he decided that he wanted to continue in his journey of faith and become closer to God. I do hope he remembers the second reason tomorrow.
