Neil. Sorry about injury.
Martin: it may be the regeneration thing again.
Gillian: Happy brithday from me as well!
Nick: agree you'd be unlikely to forget, so must be a catalytic effect - grey hairs beget more grey hairs.
V-rap - but I thought you were on the front cover of RW, and you're not a skinhead there!

I'm going to be a veteran by Christmas. Sob :-(

B/F has a full head of thick hair, but has been grey since early twenties: his brother has very little grey at 40-something, but the tide is going out fast.

Today's training (well, someone had to.....)

What: 7 miles steady
Why: 3 miler felt SOOOO good last night - slow but strong, despite being less than 2 weeks since marathon.

Last rest: Tuesday
Last Hard: Yesterday (well, hardish :-))

It's only my body, PB. They stuck someone else's head on it. If you look really closely, you can see the join.

Neil, hope you're better soon. Happy birthday!

I spoke too soon about absence of twinges. Did maintenance 6.6 miles at modest pace, not a bad run but felt a bit passive - the road was carrying me along instead of me tackling the road. Now got sore glutes, probaby a delayed effect of squillions of squats at Bodypump last night. Will have a rest day tomorrow.

Bought my first two pairs of proper running tights today. Chuffed to find some that weren't too long.

What : 6*800m at 5k pace with 200m recovs
Felt really good (bizarre....)
Why : weekly intervals
Last rest : Friday

Also ran to and from the gym (about 1 1/4 miles each way)

the favourite lost

2 miles in 11:45½ (1st mile in 5:49 - could have paced it better perhaps)

That really is it now till Sunday.
