Still tapering for Chester halfmarathon on Sunday. Did a lazy 4-miler yesterday. Bit of a walk in the Lake District tomorrow, then here goes for another assault on the old pb.

Good morning!
4-5M easy in prep for the Oxford Town and Gown on Sunday - my first 10k, aiming at sub-55, but no idea how realistic that it. Hopfully the RW training schedule I've been on will see me in good stead...

Nice title. Rest day for me, the Richmond Park long plod tomorrow or Sat. Cheers all plodders......

Thanks Chris - it was either that or "This is the Plod-ern World" by the Jam!

Nice one Fruity!

Oh dear, too many mini sausages yesterday, set my alarm for 6.00am this morning and..turned over and snoozed. Will make up for it tonight with a five mile plod.

(How about 'This is Major Plod to Ground Control?'.....)

I REALLY like that one Flatfeet. Having missed the previous info on the race on Sun, and would like to come and give you all a cheer, where was the meet and time? Its the London Hyde park thingy.

5 miles for me tonight. Haven't been feeling 100% recently so am hoping it goes OK tonight ahead of a 7 mile race on Sunday.

Plod-ern Love by David Bow-leg-ie?

I'll get my coat.

Chris S - I think the plan is to meet around the Information Tent (if there is such a thing) between 9.30-9.45am. See you there!

Fruity - I have a mate who is an editor of a trade magazine (and will remain nameless) who told me of a competition he used to have with another editor to see how many song titles he could use for news story headings. Never did quite manage to find a way to work 'Dark Side of the Moon' into one though....

Also, speaking of the Jam my current favourite running tape is P.Weller's acoustic album 'Days of Speed' - Town Called Malice really gets my legs going.

"Do Anything You Wanna Do" - by Eddie and the Hot Plods??

I would have thought 'Start!' would have been a good one to get you going.

No I really will get my coat now.

Will have cap on with name. Over and out.

Blimey! Eddie and the Hot R(pl)ods! I saw them once at the Music Machine (now the Camden Palace) in the late 70s...OMG I really am showing my age now.

Teddy, keep them coming - at least I find them amusing!

How about WonderPlod for a newer one: 'Today's, the day, I'm going to Plod away....' (obviously sung to the tune of Wonderwall).

Come on Flatfeet, I'm struggling here.
