Not much so far Coug. Pacing London marathon if that counts as an event, and other than that just doing Vegas marathon with Oxy in Dec, then a few nights' partying in Vegas and then stopping off in killington on way back for some skiing. That should be good

Might do Spartathlon in Sep, although got a bit bored of ultras, same old same old, innit

Oh, forgot, doing OMM too. Think that's in Oct

Just got back from the gym. A slow few miles on the bike, 0.5 mile on the tread at 6.12 m/m pace, some weights & crunches on the ab bench.

Feeling goooood!

Going to top up with some pasta in a bit then get an early night.

Thanks to everyone who has wished me luck

All the best for tomorrow D2D, I'm sure you'll do yourself proud.

I'll be thinking of you, but I will be away this weekend so won't be able to check back to find out how you did. Hmph! Is it sad that this bothers me?!

Thanks Lisa.

Good luck .

I did 5k on the treddie in 24 15 tonight. Not that fast, but fast for me.

I'm sure I could have done it a heck of a lot quicker though (whoop).

I personally prefer the quietly confident approach myself but each to their own!

Good luck tomorrow D2D.

Don't you worry D2D, I won't be sending you a valentine, unless you actually are a guy in drag. I have a weird "thing" for men in drag.......

You'll have to let us know what the parkrun is like. I'm tempted to give my local a go, but I'm more concerned about coming last than coming first.

Is this a reliably measured 5k run, rather than 'approximate'. So.. whatever happens tomorrow, the time can be accepted by all..? Or.. do we face a week of argument about the distance..?

I normally lurk and laugh from a distance, and this thread has been quite a laugh at times!

'The course is 5000m (5K) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is in the Willen Lake area in North Milton Keynes, and entirely on tarmac and gravel paths, although some sections of the course do accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or temporary signs in place.'

On a serious note D2D, good luck tomorrow. Please let us know back on this thread don't start another one with a title like "see I told you I could do it"
