Blimey, I'm honoured that Marigold reappeared to wish me luck! I'm sure people would be interested to know what you're up to, even if it doesn't involve marathons.

Andy D - very good point! I'll be trying to satisfy the thread title, but it's highly unlikely after a 6+ hour warm-up and running mid-afternoon in Nice in the middle of summer.

Had to come back into work this morning - hoping to get out of here to make the Chunnel in time!

Wardi - luckily the house we moved into had been empty for about 3 months (although it meant the lawn was like a jungle...) and the people buying ours are not moving in (renting it out). So relatively straightforward.

Quiet on here today. I'm basically counting down the hours to going away now but still got a bit of work to do. Wrote a brief summary of the year's training and targets for the race on my blog if anyone's a bit bored.

Won't be online now until the end of next week I expect, but will try to pop in to post the result at some point.

No internet for the past few days due to the house move, so just skimmed back. Well done to Pi Man (~40s PB over 10k is a fair chunk, so don't worry about not going sub-37) and jonny on a nice HM. TT - impressive mileage, but be careful!

Moved house on Friday but managed to get a swim and short run done before anything started (i.e. by 7am). Then 12M steady on Saturday and 50M easy on the bike yesterday. All ready to go now, but got to get through a few days at work first!

House move went OK, and really pleased with the new place. Lots of work needed, but a lot of it will (hopefully!) be done while we're away in France.

Don't worry everyone, I won't be lifting anything heavy! After the fiasco of the last move we're just getting people in to do everything.

No training last night due to having to sort through everything, but got out early this morning for 80 mins on the bike.

TR - we have a garage (don't have one at the moment) that I am hoping to turn into a turbo dungeon. Might have to do it gradually/secretly so the Mrs doesn't realise!

CW - I actually find the opposite i.e. after the 6 m/m bit, I naturally fall into 6:40 m/m ish on the recovery and can't slow it down. I only did 7M though - I suspect after another few it would become harder and the 7s would happen more naturally.
