Lovely day here. Tired, and regretting that 2nd glass of wine - excited KidB up early in party mode (let's hope the Nutty Professor is all he's cracked up to be).
Foot STILL sore on side of heel, so body conditioning class for me, even tho' would rather be down on the towpath in my trusty Asics. Happy plodding, hum a B White tune as you go ...

Easy,

Its a bit overcast here this morning but the foot is now nearly better. I can hardly feel a twinge as i walk but this is where i may fall into temptation. I would love to get out and do a couple of miles today but i probably shouldn't. I will try my best to wait until tomorrow.

Its exciting stuff either way.

hope the party goes ok FLR and your foot gets better promptly.

Have a great day everyone, and good luck to everyone racing this weekend...

Morning all.

It is a bit cloudy here, doesn't feel too warm at the mo. Just waiting for brekkie to digest and then off out for a quick plod through the fields and farms and then back through the woods.

Glad to hear injury is recovering Alf.

Chris - have a good shop and run.

Right, I'm going to remove pajamas and change into plodding gear....

Have a fab day everyone!

hmm

body conditioning was a bit close to a nifty fifties, but legs did ache by the end so presumably have done some good, and teacher was red hot on technique

quite nice to go to an exercise class and feel a bit young and brash, but definitely no endorphin rush there

went to X train afterwards, but couldn't get on preferred machines, and done so much X train recently got fed up and went home.

Maybe a bike ride tomorrow if I can fit it in between family stuff

Young and Brash? I can't begin to imagine what that feels like! :)

you'll have to learn a little frivolity with age then, young Tupper.

Expecting to feel very old after an afternoon of 5 year olds ...

Uh-oh. Completed plod as required, and then walked into town to get a few bits and bobs.

Bumped into someone from my running club, who (after saying that I had just done one of our normal Sunday routes) started saying to me "oh well it's a good idea to do that, because it is difficult to get speed up on Sunday runs because of waiting for the slow people isn't it. But it is quite social"...

I'm not too sure if he realised that I, in fact, constitute that description of "slow people" (i.e. I am always at the back!!!). I feel bad now. Don't want anyone to wait for me anyway......moan groan....

thats THEIR problem, smitch, not yours
and you are hardly slow at 8 min miles

Smitch

05/07/2003 at 15:26

no Hipps, not 8 min miles, blimey, that's a bit fast. More just over 9ish at the mo.

I know, I don't mind if they go on ahead, would hate to feel I was holding anyone back.

How's the move going?

Finally got out. 34mins one way 33 back so splitted negatively! Heel aches most of the time so going to ice and oily bath it and talk to it nicely. Smitch, 9min miles is right quick you'd be at the front of my plodding club on the plodding day.

Smitch

05/07/2003 at 20:26

Hi Chris, gosh, a negative split sounds very professional!!
I am trying not to let the member of my group's comments effect me too much. I only can do 9min miles on races with the wind in the right direction (and down hill)

Smitch

05/07/2003 at 20:27

oops I think that should be 'affect'. Must be tired

Bodjit - Training very slowly

05/07/2003 at 22:54

FLR hope party went ok

Smitch just over 9ish min miles is a good pace, and s*d it if you hold them up, they will just have to keep running back & forth!! Keep it up you are doing really well

Alf glad foot is on mend

Hippo, do you need anymore carrier bags....

RFL tomorrow, so maybe first race I won't be last....but there again...
