Paris Marathon 2010

This way for everything you need to know about the Paris Marathon 2010 and a whole lot more. The official website of the race is here although details of the 2010 race are not yet available. Race date is 11 April 2010.  Only 266 days left for training. Allez allez.

How spooky - I haven't been posting much lately and thought I'd drop in on the Paris  thread. Then I discovered the 2010 thread has started up 10 minutes ago. It's definitely a sign.

Allons-y tout le monde!

Bonjour!

Apartment or hotel?  Great hotel this year, but planning on going with friends next year...either way it's got to be within walking distance of the start again, and have a modicum of soundproofing.

Did a 10 mile dash today in 70 minutes, felt back to normal almost.

Now it's time for a very hot curry. Was planning a Barby but the weather in Paris is rather dull and I'm feein lazy... 

Oh Boy the new thread - OH is so over the moon that I've found it.  Apparently I've turned into a running bore - and that's even though not trotted for 3 weeks!!!!  9 months and counting till race day - can;t do any worse than last year so hears to keeping injury free for the next 9 months - all of us!!

Perhaps if we ask Caroline nicely she'll move it?

I'm going for sub 3:40 this year!!

Hey Rob, I was in that Leeds on Wednesday, at a printer near Cross Green?

I asked them if they knew you, they just narrowed their eyes a little and spat.

Cross Green Mr P?  Splitters.  Them aint naffin to da norf wes' Leeds massive.

Are you doing the Birchwood 10k by the way?

 Sub 4 for me, maybe 3.45 but I'll have a better idea by the end of the year.

Yes I think so, all being well. I haven't done it before.  You?

Too early for 2010 predictions- got this season to get through first.

Mrs OO is away this w/end so it's been a sport feast. 16 miles this moring. 40 mins. warm up, one hour at marathon pace, then 40 warm down. That means with the 10 yesterday it's been a marathon w/end. That's the longset run I've done since M St. Michel.

Then a swim at lunchtime with the kids. I managed 3km at just over 30 mins. per km (rubbish I know). My eldest managed 4.5 km in the same time it took me to do 3 . Even my 11 year old wasn't far behind . And they're girls- the shame of it.
