Morning

What:4M Steadily and carefully on snow.

Yesterdays lyrics: 'Don't stand so close to me' by The Police. Great song and band. In my humble opinion. If we had them recently apologise,had a list of songs I'd started DT with, but lost it.

Blisters : Thats is some coincidence

Dustin: No I've not got Garmin etc either.Run by how I feel or my old faithful Timex Ironman stopwatch if doing reps.

ale: Good news.

Tom: Yeah Dixon of Dock Green will be along to check the threads lyrics from now on. Younger viewers Google Dixon of Dock Green

Morning.

Thanks Blisters - it's my first ever go at xmas cake baking and icing and I have the added pressure of making one for my in-laws. I shall see how I get on with a smooth finish but suspect I'll end up with a snow effect. Still, it should taste the same.

Snow forecast for us today - though only a light dusting. Cold this morning though - still minus temperatures until around midday, just hope it's not too slippy as I intend to run once my porridge has digested slightly - need to make the room as having a xmas lunch today.

What:            MLR
Why:              time and will
Last hard:      2/12
Last rest:       1/12

Lyrics - not a scooby.

last rest - friday

Evening all! (for lovers of Dock Green). Yesterday 'policing the lyrics" comment was as was spotted a poor attempt at a pun!. Today's lyrics - no idea.

Current running is laps of a small North London Park - each lap is 0.85M and I was hoping to add an extra lap this morning to get up to 6.6M overall, but hamstring was feeling rather more uncomfortable at 5M than i would have liked. Ended up with 5.8M, same as yesterday.

I'm an occasional Garmin user, but for general running to time rather than distance I use my trusty analogue wristwatch.

Spark.

Morning all. Feeling good after that 4mile tempo last night. Out in the cold working today, nice bit of SWA on a crisp morning. 7miles tonight at 8min/mile maybe go further if I can as I doubt I'll get a LSR in this weekend cause I'm working.

We seem to have quite a few baking experts on here . I love the cake talk!

Little M.iss Happy wrote (see)

chickadee - emzap is spot on, in my case, brandy.

sounds like my kinda cake ... I don't like raisins though. Can you do a fruit cake without raisins?

alehouse wrote (see)

Emzap: do they have proper medics in Germany?

definitely do, alehouse. German healthcare is top notch - but it comes at a price. I know many people moaned about the NHS but I always found it a fair system. A small contribution -- a basic service for everyone. Us Germans have to fork out about 15% of our salary just to cover our healthcare...

Lots of snow overnight. Looking forward to a run later. Will leave work soon (rough night with mum in hospital - she collapsed in the sauna and ended up with a huge gash on her head that needed stitching. She's fine now but it threw me a bit).

Chick: sorry to hear about your mum...hope she is OK. Do you know the lyrics today? Was not unrelated to my comment to Emzap (assuming I'm right!).

Talking of cake, the barmaid at my local had obviously thought that I was a little down in the dumps when I spoke to her last week: last night she had very knidly made me a box of flapjack. Really nice, and really nice!

Afternoon

What 7.7 with hill
Why Not enough time to walk home after work.
Lyrics ashamedly yes

Missed my run yesterday due to snow and the ice this morning wasn't much better either. Due to the current busy period I am unable to run commute so distances will be curtailed until after Christmas, normally I don't run in December anyway.

Have entered Wokingham Half as my warm uprace again this season. Have done it twice before and is my pb course for the half.

Can't help I'm afraid Straycelt.

Definitely chickadeee - I do an 'exotic fruit' cake with papaya, pineapple etc and never put that awful candied mixed peel in anything, replaced with chopped dates in my xmas cake. If it's just raisins you don't like even easier - extra currants, chopped dates, maybe some chopped apricot. Sorted. Hope your mum is ok.

Alehouse - that's really nice of the barmaid.

Wabo - I had a lovely run thanks. Needed superfurrywarm tights, thermal top, buff, hat and gloves but there was no wind and the ice was obvious enough to avoid. Lunch was the best meal out I have had in years. Can't wait to go back to the restaurant, couldn't fault a thing.

When is Wokingham postie?

Hope you can stay on your feet if you JS tonight OH.

Sounds as though you're enjoying your running sweep.

Good to have another run reported Paddy - have you seen the rubberman yet?

Tom - my hamstring was always worse when it was colder - don't know if that could be a factor with yours?
