Morning happy campers.

I think I might be officially a nutcase. Starting to get genuinely upset when I see all these bloody runners forcing their way down the road when its blowing a hooley and p*ssing down. I want to be out there getting wet and blown about like they are!

Check on SF next week and I shall hopefully then get tossed about like a good un.

Shipping Forecast? Andy - if you play Fifa 10 on the 360, I'll give you a game

You have almost identical PB's to me for all distances up to the marathon - where I lag 6 minutes behind you, but had targeted 2.48 for London this year.  I would be really interested to know what training schedule you followed for Paris to hit your 2.48?

Current PB's:

5k     16.46

10k    35.36

10m   58.40

HM    1.18.07

Mara  2.53.37

Any advice much appreciated!

SF = stress fracture I believe.

Hows it feeling now LB?

No running for me now till Sunday, got past the feeling sick phase, now I just feel excited and determined.

Much better thanks Vicki!

I'm afraid as boring and as irritating as it sounds, RICE works on stress fractures.

That's the acronym - not a bag of long grain...

Great interval session this afternoon.

5 min warm up at 7:10 ish
30 mins hard intervals
5 min warm down at 7:10

6 and a bit miles in 40 mins, ready to take on that Town Moor now, unless it's underwater.

The weather is looking fairly pants for you all running newcastle at the weekend.

I don't envy you running 26 miles in rain and wind while you're splashing through mud and puddles 

Metcheck = 8 deg, cloud, rain and winds of 22mph gusting to 26. 

I'll cheer you on from my nice warm sofa!!

Liverbird, I must have missed you were suffering a stress fracture. What happened?

I ran 26 miles in tight shoosies WTS.

I am terminally stoopid at times.....

Now I need someone to tell me where to get these elastic laces from that Cougie was going on about!

Ouch!!

I see you have tried RICE on your injury, have you tried WINE (substitute your preferred version of anti-oxidants here!)

I slapped a bag of Pilau on it WTS and it seemed to make it worse....

The cheeky shiraz is slipping down a treat though!

I'd be 7 stone if it wasn't for the wine...
