Is this a mad way to start?

ok, if the worst came to the worst I'll do 2 legs but I really would rather not

Well, same here!

You get first dibs on the 2 legs!

Ha! you are so kind.

Walked through one of the corn fields today and Cole found something which from a distance looked like a grey tennis ball. I told him to drop, and there it was, a perfectly severed rabbit head, very clean wound to the neck.

We've worked out that it must have popped its head up to have a look at the combine harvester.

Any z list gangster clans need it for a bit of 'pillow talk'? Please send an A4 sae with a car air freshener enclosed.

Brill, fank you!

Is he happy to keep the order and do second leg?

(must go to work, running late)

Well he is outnumbered! You two will have to get your heads together and let me know what time to expect to start the glory leg.

My plans on Friday are to leave work at lunchtime and drive to the lovely Brum residence, eta teatimeish.

I was going to do a short run with Cole tonight, but I think I'll give my legs one more day off. I think my plan at the JW is to beat the time I did last time I did leg 3.

I'm going to look up what that was.

1:05:53, there's my target then!

I really don't understand people who are incredibly judgemental without knowing the facts, it's a bug bear of mine. Had an interesting conversation with a colleague about it today, our conversation was education based. For some reason it's just filled my head for the whole of my run tonight. Maybe finding out the facts is too uncomfortable or too much like hard work.

Legs fine from Sunday's race, good to go on Saturday.

Littlest wants to do gymnastics, so I let her go to the after school club run by an outside sports agency this week.

I asked her what she did and if there's one thing (only one thing) I do know about it's teaching gym. I actually watched the end of the session, it was far too basic for the kids, and from what J told me of the rest of it, I couldn't get the session objective.

Maybe I'm just in a grumpy mood, she enjoyed it so I should shut my PE brain off and go and dance naked in the cow field or something.

Actually not a good idea, the bull is in there doing what bulls do, the kids think that the cows are very friendly, always hugging each other.

Well I started my day in a really foul mood, but have had quite a few laughs in work, so am less grumpy.

I'm in a 'just sat down after work and can't be arsed to move' mood, but I'm going to have to do all the usual plus pack for Brum as I have to go into work tomorrow morning, finishing at lunchtime, but still the extra drive from the bay adds about 3/4 of an hour to the total journey.

????po?? ???? s?? s??????

Aha, looks like I've found yet another forum flaw. Oh why oh why oh why are we not all perfect?

Perfectly perfectly perfect.

Perfection.

Perfunction.

Perfunctuatly punctuated.

Yeah, great JW weekend, was lovely to see people. It's one of my favourite social weekends of the year. We got arsed last night and I ordered a really hot curry, they just poured chilli flakes on the top. I had to be reminded of this at the Selly sausage this morning.

At least I didn't vomit!

I beat my 3rd relay leg time by over a minute, just over 9 miles in 1:03:53. I was actually running quite comfortably sub around 6.50mm, but needed 2 'Paula' stops. Only 2 guys got a quicker time than me in the relay and ultra combined, so I was happy with that.

AJH was a friggin running GOD, our middle leg runner didn't show as he got lost trying to find his start, so she carried on and ran 2 legs, not an easy thing to get your head around when you've just blasted one leg thinking you were going to just do 10 miles.

Great social weekend and a gorgeous hostess with the mostess.

I the Brum forumites current and past.

Got a fcucking hangover though!

Oh and we were the fastest relay team made up of only women, however we weren't officially the fastest femal relay team as we'd entered as a mixed team. They came in ab out 6 mins behind us.

But we were given a prize anyway which was a lovely sentiment and very much appreciated.

Goody bag as ever = fab.

Mentally delete 'sub' from the post above.
