Shit Simon, how do you sit on a saddle for nearly 10 hours!!! Brilliant, well done. Is this the Carlos Fandango, dripping with carbon num num ness, and weighs less than a Budgie's pecker bike from your bike shop?

Ant - I had no idea what i was letting myself in for in my first mara (VLM 2010), and did not put anything on my feet, hence the massive blood blister. Also i have circus freak toes, as the 2nd and 3rd are both longer than my big toe!

Now i smear (almost) everything in BodyGlide, wear shoes that are 1.5 sizes too big and also use ToeToe socks after being recommended them by a MdS veteran, and now i very rarely get blisters.

SS - 

O4S - ... Until what???????????????

SS - X-post. From the little i know of Bursitis, i don't think there's an awful lot you can do but R.I.C.E.

I think my knee is slowly getting better, as the length of time it hurts after running is gradually reducing. Today it feels fine, so i'll probably do an easy 5 or so tonight, to try to be ready for Thursday's club race.

Well done for the quiz bling... Also, i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who can't post photos!

Carrot - Yes, you would have thought so by now!

O4S, Free & AA - On the blood blister/gore subject, i had a corker after VLM 2010. I ran for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign and had the obligatory after race massage. When he took my sock off, there was a collective intake of breath from the other masseurs/masseuses as i had a blood blister the size of a large grape on my 2nd toe, which he proceeded to spray all over himself and the table when he popped it, and had to go and change his top!  I reckon we should have a "post-off" of everyone's feet to see who's is the most mangled! If only i knew how to post photos on here!!!

Spoons - Now's not the time to be negative (you've still got the taper to come for that)! "P.M.A... If you wanna be like Linford, you've gotta fink like Linford!"
