Gym in the morning, then home for Paula in the afternoon, along with a beer or two.

Any guesses on race strategy? Could be another go from the gun I reckon, and aim to drop Zdereba in the first few miles.

Having said that, I'd like to see Paula in the GNR again sometime - if Sonia O'Sullivan can do 67 minutes, then Paula must be able to get close to 65!

I can't imagine any other strategy. Fast and furious, with bits of even faster and even more furious thrown in for good measure.

I reckon she'll just leg it as fast as possible!

PB - i watched GNR on the treadmill in the gym, which seemed to work, as i could see everyone else suffering at the same time.!

Caz - friday night sounds good.., although i didn't spot any boats swaying from side to side as i went over Waterloo bridge (not literally) on friday evening.!
and i'll be 30 something-ishh next Monday.

PB, probably a nice bramble sauce or something, but I'm not a cannibal myself.

Gareth, oh you're in the sub 40 club still then, nice one. My (older) sister was 36 on Saturday and she's not that happy about it (neither would I be) as she says, she's the wrong side of 35.

yes, still hanging on in there !, although i'm trying to rejoin the other sub 40 club again..that's sub 40 min for 10K. By the way, i know how your sister feels (although she's 9 days older than me !).

Caz

I'll tell her that, make her feel even worse. (No I couldn't be that cruel.)

does anyone think Paula was high - naturally not illegally of course - when she blew London away - I still get shivers just thinking about it. She was awesome and has just got better - hope she can keep up the form for Chicago.

Anyone think Sonia O has risen to the challenge - maybe both at London next year?

Sonia clear was nowhere close in the Munich 10k

Sonia O has done fantastically well to get to about where Paula was at the GNR two(?) years ago.

Just think though what Paula has done in the last two years - at Sydney she couldn't drop the field and got slaughtered in the final lap. This year she took a world class field apart and left them for dead - twice! Plus she took 45 second out of Sonia out of 10k. Sonia may well be better the further the race, but then so is Paula!

IMHO Paula would slaughter Sonia over 26.2!

Summed up to perfection Iain. But I think Sonia is great also.

PB - a nice red wine sauce (and more wine to drink) is the only thing for rabbit.

1.30pm means 2.30pm for us - but what channel? I really hope it's on the Beeb 'cos we often find ITV reception breaking up. If it's on Sky Sports or British Eurosport we're knackered! Don't get either of those. We'll be out running in the woods before lunch as usual if no race on, then settle down with a couple of bottles of wine for us and some nice meaty bones for the wolf pack to watch Paula.

I'll have to tape it - running cross country in Salisbury in the afternoon.
So I'll be able to watch Paula with a few beers without getting the urge to run afterwards.

Beer and celebrations. No one will get close.. not even Jon.
