OH - fantastic news on the pb

Nurse - pleasing that you seem to be over your injury troubles, enjoy the weekend

Bit of the sniffles this week for me but nothing serious enough to keep me from running, though everything bar sleeping seems to have been a battle with the CNBA fairy

Keep up the good work all

Well done Tek and good runs tomorrow IJ and Stewart.

Parkrun today 6:55, 6:40, 6:17, 0:28 for a rather aesthetically pleasing 20:20

Fiona, Stewart, AGF - good 10'ing all round, must be something in the air

Tek - sounds like it mate, but the temperature won't have helped having had zero chance to acclimatise to it and training all winter ( and into spring ) in that sub zero, windy, snowy, rainy crap . Training won't be wasted though and will make you stronger. What else would you have done all winter other than lay in, sit in front of the fire, getting fat and un-fit  Hope you recover quick

MG - hope the lurgy's gone for the weekend

OH - all the best for Cape Wrath, go and smash it 

IJ - welcome  you make running marathons sound like shelling peas  good luck with the pb's, hopefully if you stick around you'll get some help in doing so. We'll certainly be rooting for you.

Did my Sunday 12 miler this morning as i'm away in Liverpool this weekend to see West Ham take on Everton at Goodison. Moyes last game for them so will be a good one.

A couple mile warm-up before parkrun tomorrow will see me up to 37M for the week , so that will be 7-21-32-37 in the 4 weeks since Brighton.

Good weekend all.

I found the 250ml Iconiq water pouches at Brighton were superb. Easy to carry, easy to drink from, zero spillage and non hazardous to unsuspecting ankles.

Tek - well if it is a bug and coupled with the ridiculous temperature, that's shockingly bad luck all round. You've got a great base anyway so a few days off to make sure you're rid of it will do you no harm.

I'm seriously considering an October marathon.

Had a look at Amsterdam but wouldn't go without the family and the cost of flights + accomodation looks  UK possibilities are Chester which i've heard good things about and also Abingdon so i've made enquiries and put my name on the standby list for that as it's currently full.
