I've had a terrible night! Puppy howled as follows:- 10pm - 10.30; midnight - 12.30; 3am - 3.40; 5am til, at 5.40, I gave up and got up! I am blathered. And I dread seeing the neighbours.......; they're mooey enough at the best of times.

But......... I ran 5.4 miles this morning, much of it battling against a head-on gale. But I still don't think I can do Brighton.

Morining fellow fatties!

Very windy here with lots of tree damage so not going for outdoor run - going to do treadmill run later.

Sassie, if you can run for 5.4 miles then you'll easily manage Brighton. Before my first 10k I'd only run 4 miles and I had no problems. Also, you seem to be doing loads of work during the week so you'll be strong enough to get through it. Don't forget the power of fellow runners - they really pull you along. BTW, hope puppy quietens down soon ;-)

Hi all, well done sassie, I hate strong winds.
I was out for a quick 4 miles this morning at 9.00am, luckily there is no wind at all yet in Durham and it was sunny, getting a bit black now though, think weather on its way........
And another thing, I have been stuck at the same weight now for three weeks (this week it went up a bit) with another stone to go and I am running 26 mile a week, Poo..........

Sassie
no tree clearing (but also no climbing tree to get apples for lunch-time pudding).
Garden fence disappeared - belongs to neighbours thankfully.
Been to offie... difficult decisions looming - 5k on treadmill or a bottle of Becks (to settle the nerves, you understand).

Hi all

Just back for very exciting 10k. Interesting running dodging flying branches and fallen trees. A couple of dead foxes as well for some reason.

Well I managed a new PB of 55 mins !!!

I'd love to know what i could do if I hadn't been blown backwards half the course.

RK definately treadmill then becks.

5k in the bag, 1 bottle of Becks down the neck (I'm very good at this rewards lark - just wondering what to do with a tube of 'Vodka Shots' (liqueur choccies) do I give them to the nurses at the unit tomorrow, or do I sample them first?)
second bottle of Becks will have to wait until chicken safely in oven.

To the nurses
Theyre not that alcoholic

RoboKidney

wot... the choccies or the nurses?

Plodding Hippo

Choccies
We know wot renal nurses are like

RoboKidney

dunno where some of these nurses put it - one of ours is known to regularly sink 18 bottles of baccardi breezer in a session, even when my kiderneys were working that would have been nigh on beyond me!

Sound like yours are as bad as ours then
I await th Xmas party with some trepidation

RoboKidney

there are a few things you learn about nurses quite quickly...
they all drink like fish
they all swear like navvies
they all punch well above their weight
and
no matter how often patients take in boxes of quality street etc, the sweetie tin is always empty.

I know I'm not Paula but a 55 min 10K in a gale deserves some small cheer please (sob sob sob)
