I knew it wouldn't take you long to respond CD

It's uncanny how often you've posted just before I check in.  It's like we're related or something.

DD -  Congrats on the PB. It is getting cold here, enjoy the warmth.

Ant  - Might have to join you with a YKW before xmas, just worked out 16 week plan for VLM starts 30 Dec, have n't done a 5K race since Jul 2010. Nice consistent reps.

Chick -  Enjoy the party, mind that knee if you are partying hard.

Finally got to see Homeland, and it just gets better and better.

I am still lurgified and feeling fed up - started on 14th October and hasn't gone

Gets better for a while and then worse again - currently worse!!  Sneezing like that well-known dwarf, nose dripping like it needs a new washer and what Doctors tend to describe as a 'Productive' cough!!

Apart from all that I seem to be permanently knackered and it doesn't appear to make any difference whether I run or not - although I have decided not to try intervals for a while as the sound effects tend to scare the local children.

Ran for an hour today and was OK at a slow pace until we had to go slightly uphill. I am down to race in the Gwent League Cross Country tomorrow and due to marshal for about 5 hours in the freezing cold, so not too excited about the weekend.  Was supposed to be racing a 10k on Sunday but have binned that - sadly I don't think binning tomorrow will be as easy, our Ladies Captain is a bit of a slave driver [think Minni squared]

Brol, coordinating 3 or more teams.. messy. One was hard, two just about do-able with partners wanting to run, SS, mine and others after more laps? Places are going fast supposedly, last year still some in April, doubt it this. Mr Zuvai, team entry, not individual, will keep you in mind.

FRC- why would you want one person to coordinate 3 teams? Surely each team can take care of organising themselves. Would be great to get a few teams together and I'm sure there will be a place for everyone as long as we don't leave it too late.

Minni- tempting tempting...

Just listened to this weeks marathon talk - top effort Brol!

Mr Zuvai- thanks

O4S-  sounds like a bit of a nightmare.  Hope you feel better soon.

I still haven't seen Homeland...Sounds like I need to get on with the programme.

Brol's right, surely one person would organise one team. 

At least one of my running club will probably do the whole thing. 

O4S - take care.  Its so cold and if you're not feeling 100% then racing isn't going to make you feel any better.  Good decision to ditch.

Homeland - I've said this to my colleagues too:  Please can you all watch it on Sunday night at 9am then we can discuss!  Its no good when people are watching it at different times!!

What is going to happen next?  I still can't decide who is on what side, it twists and turns so much.

I have a sesh to do tonight.  I'm ok once I get out but just hate looking out to blackness.

Rugby update.  There are going to be three interviews while the boys are training, going out live, so between 7 - 9am.  The boys will be training in the background.

Zuvai - can you record then put it onto a disc?    I'm so not clued up!

kfc - yeah i know hackney marshes - well flat, and sounds like a fab course My PB attempt is going to be in Oakhill park cos I'm a 'burban boy nowadays and I have also roped in loads of my club to come along. Hopefully there should be quite a few of us aiming for a similar time. If anyone else fancies it, it's the 15 December. Just before the eating and drinking gets really serious Take care of that calf

Re thunder run, my club have also put in a couple a teams in the mix in the past, not sure if there is a plan for this year.

Simon: No!!  Apart from anything else Mr O4S wouldn't be able to cope if I wasn't getting any exercise..................

KFC - good luck with being patient

Kiwi - how are things on your injury front?

DD- Did I read your post correctly that it was raining in your race?? Great race in such appalling weather

Brolish- Can you put my name down for Thunder Run please. Lets hope the weather is nice to us again.

Ant- Go for the sub 20 park run, What is your pb at the moment for a 5k?

Freemers- go get that pb tomorrow.

04S- Good luck with the 5hrs marshaling, make sure you wrap up warm.

Mr Z- I think you can do the thunder run in pairs, FRC could join you???

KFC- I think most of us neglect our core so I will put that one on my list, again! Did they say when you could start running?

Minni- Will we see you on tv Saturday or Sunday???

I was ill most of last week which gave me loads of time to think. I have not been enjoying running since October after Chester marathon. So I have decided not to be coached anymore and to go back to my running club and join in with others,which I have missed over these last 12 months. I hope to be able to keep up my weekly mileage but just do some runs with others. I hope I haven't acted in haste!
 

Are we allowed to mention CHRISTMAS yet on here?  It's the 1st December tomorrow and we can officially put our tree and decorations up yiipppeeee. It's not me that is excited, it's my 5 and 7 year old, Honest.....Just wrote all my Christmas cards ready to post in the morning
