You see I probably won't even do this but I will still spend more time on this than the Paris marathon thread!

Welcome back DD.

I think you should change that photo. You're much better looking in real life.

Fancy reinventing myself actually, come to mention it. All change.

SJ

P.S. Are you okay with chocolate Hob Nobs?

Sure you don't want something stronger?

I've just had a preminition of you on Nassau Street on 30/10/05, dressed in one of those fashionable bin liners with the words "Never Again" tattooed on your person.

You know I'm right on this one.

30/10/06 maybe but i doubt 30/10/05..

My son has just realised his favourite Nike hat is missing. I had to break the bad news to him that i discarded it somewhere around mile 3 along with several pints of PSP22.

I never did thank you for your invaluable advice regarding PSP22

'Drink it till your nose bleeds' i believe were your exact words.

Thanks.

AB12 -

You're very welcome.

It worked for me too. Never hit the wall in terms of glycogen depletion but the legs fell apart instead at 23m.

If you want a Dublin 2005 cap for your son just let me know and give me your address and I will send mine.

Those things never fit me properly. Head is too big. Literally speaking, of course.

Think I forgot to mention that the current Mrs SJ is in training.

She's aiming to run a Half Marathon with SJ Senior next September.

Respect, etc.

Cant say i hit the wall as such this time around thankfully.

I did manage to thump 'the wall' in quite a major way back in '96 and i can tell you it isn't a pleasant experience.

Choclate hob nobs would be perfect SJ (puts feet up to be waited on!)

Mrs SJ told me she was going to start running - she has a bit to go to catch you though!

What's PSP22?

Andy Brown 12

Its an SIS product.. Mainly used in carbo loading. It did the trick!

DD -

PSP22 is, in the words of an acquaintance of mine who ran 2h18m in FLM last year...."Rocket Fuel"

I'm planing to use it for shorter distance races too from now on.
