Paris Marathon 2013

Spectacular, short 6 mile run today in the late afternoon. Temperature perfect. Ran with BRF and tried to get her pace up a little - she did very well.  She was to run the Disney Mara with her brother, but he has withdrawn  - so I will run with her at her pace  - probably 5 - 5.15 hours.  So, my plan is to take the Half mara easy on Saturday then the full at her pace Sunday.  Paris will be back to racing.

From today's run:

Who's in for the Semi-Marathon de Paris?

Ps. Dan, that is a beautiful spot - looks like a marvellous place to run.

That looks wonderful Dan... sounds like  a v.nice idea to run with BRF at Disney..

12th December we talkin about? I could probably make that if Londern way..

Unfortunately, I can't make the 12th..    but, you guys go ahead...

Dan.. 12th December...   The Musical Box are in Atlanta...   

Could someone with access to P+D do me a favour (my copy is currently out on loan)?

Maybe it's obvious but I want to know what pace they recommend for "Medium long run", and how that differs to "recovery" and "long run".

Plan starts on Monday... with a rest day

Nice picture Dannirr, that's pretty similar to the conditions I've been running in for the last few weeks, have wished I had a camera with me more than once. We're into minus temperatures this morning, but looks like a lovely day in store. I will be running at lunchtime, unless that's against the social policy now too

That looks so nice , D..

Iain, I'm doing the Semi.I've done it a few times.The route is, basically, the eastern half of the mara' course...from Vincennes, through the woods, into town and back out.It doesn't have anything like the same razamatazz but it always seems to be on a lovely bright morning.

Morning all

How's everyone on the injury bench?

And where's holeymoley got to?

Yesterday I tried on some women's clothing.

That is all.

DLR - Thanks, now I'm mentally scared for life.

another sunny day - a bit more mileage in the weekly bank ....

Ordered a jacket in size small...arrived...looked very small...tried it on...couldn't even straighten my arms and only just do it up then realiszed it was a ladies small...

DLR you disappoint me...

Leg is still hurty, the rest of me is still snotty.  A physio friend has told me I have a weak arse and given me a load of exercises to do, most of which involve me looking like a total womble and falling over.  Ward 6 I believe you may have made the, erm , acquaintence of the Physio

In other news, Mr Maj is coming home tonight.  I've not seen him for 3 weeks and he'll be home for a mammoth 36 hours before he goes away again...

Try to let him out of the bedroom for at least a couple of hours rest, dear.

Hi Neil - MLR is run at same pace as LSR.

It's my wifely duty to share my lurgy with him...

Besides, my 12 year old prefers to think that I *never* have sex.  Ever.

The merest mention of sex and TD turns up...
