Thanks Shades.

I'm still slow, but its nice to be able to see improvement over the last few races i have done. I must be doing something, however small, right!

Hippo - Is gin fattening? You must try that Cork Gin this weekend, I tried to buy a bottle for you at Cork airport in July but they made me put it back (not eligible for duty free shopping).

lol hippo, trust me, i have quite a set of curves on me! Have put on a stone since about April, so need to remove it pronto.

So will cut down the carbs dramatically (sorry anti Atkins peeps, but its the only thing that works for me..) do light running, then start slowly added them back in and cranking up the distances for the next 1/2..!

It can't be the gin - it is made from really healthy berries and stuff. And everyone knows that slimline tinic and a slice of lime cancels out any calories it might have....???

Couldn't buy it from the duty free shop because I was flying to the UK. I should have bought it before I got to the airport.

Shades - IOM sounds good - I would love to stay for the week, but might not have the time for that! I'll look at my holiday diary when I hear when the dates are. It would fit into my 'a marathon every 2 months before I try one every month plan'.

Well done to anyone who went out running in the pouring rain tonight, it was fair chucking it down, plus side no-one else was out there and downside was very, very wet when we finished our somewhat shorter run tonight of only 5k. Still better than nowt.

The rain was so heavy. My running shoes are soaked through. Some mammoth puddles to run through too. I really enjoyed my run last night and really pushed it too.

Morning all.

Wet down here in Bristol, too. Well, it was when I was out on my run. It has, of course, stopped now. My usual sense of timing there..
