happy birthday! and I forgot the card and everything. I'm pretty much in the same boat as kevster/muppet, having done flm 2002, and not much since. But I'm back, and gonna train for someything or other. flm2004 if I can beat the ballot.
God bless the URWFRC and all who sail in her. and hopefully by next year me and Muppet won't have jumped ship again. |

| the funniest thing I've heard is from a mate. I've been known to ring him in the past and put on a funny voice when his girlfrined answers so she doesn't know who's calling (I know its rubbish, but there you go). anyway, one day he answers a call and someone in a french accent asks him if he wants a free mobile phone. naturally, my mate thinks its me winding him up so he puts on a crappy italian accent and plays along. the french guy starts to explain the phone deal to him and my mate interrupts in his italian accent and says "I'm-a sorry, I don't need-a mobile. I'm-a Pizza seller. a gay pizza maker, do you-a wanna homosexual pizza?" Being immensly childish, this would've been hilarious if it was me on the other end of the phone. But it wasn't, it was just a French guy working for vodaphone. He got slightly confused, maybe scared and made an excuse and hung up. only then did my mate realise that he wasn't talking to me. | |

well, it seems what they say about runners is right, We're all mad.
but seriously, hope your friend is ok Muttley. I guess if she's gone and taken that big first step by checking into a detox-type place then she should hopefully be receptive to you're suggestion of running/exercise.
As others on here have said, there seems to be a link between depression and running. my guess is that they're both fairly addictive things.
personally, when i started running just over a year ago I wasn't a particularly happy bunny. The routine of it, and feeling of reaching those little goals that you set yourself, either time or distance or whatever helps a lot I reckon. It helped to stop me doing stupid things for a while anyway.
so good luck to your friend, and hopefully having a good friend like you around can help motivate her. | |

my guess to the original hangover thing is lack of water as well. personally I've never found it a problem in winter. in the summer yeah, but in the winter i don't sweat too much when i go out running. I did all my training for last years london marathon without ever taking any water with me. probably not a training method RW would recomend, but it worked for me. even my longest run of 16 miles i did without taking any water, gels or whatever with me. I also find that the "drink loads before the run" method just makes me need the loo. I guess its just a personal thing that you work out what works for you.
I once had one of those really rubbish days where i had to quit running after a mile or so coz it just felt wrong. I went back home, got the urge to fry myself a load of bacon. I ate it and went back out an hour later felt great and went for 12 miles. bet you won't find that in any running dietplan! | |
