I think i need reading glasses, i missed Tek and Fiona's posts

Not worse is a good thing and counts as improvement Tek  

Nice bit of sisterly bonding Fiona

Nurse - do you enjoy pilates or are they still twatty ?

Fiona - mrs m has just taken up walking with a friend in the evenings so i think running may be a way off yet

Tek - lol @ boozing and smoking

I think the issue is more she prefers me with a bit of meat on me and was a bit shocked at the weight i lost mara training. I do most of my running before the kids are even awake so it's not like i'm eating into family time.

Nurse - you'll be ok and i'm sure it won't take too long to get back to where you were. And a nice bit of liver will boost the iron levels

Stewart - good to see the HR a bit lower. Much lower than you normally train at ? I do often wonder if you have your max right ?

Stuart - nice intervals, i try to avoid in winds above 2/3 mph

Good to hear things are looking a bit better for NP and Tek

jason i wish i hadn't just seen your weekly mileage

Sounds like a top week OH and a great report

Nice training all

I'm feeling a bit lazy and fat at the moment having got pissed as a newt ( on mrs m's instructions ) on Saturday, missing my long run Sunday with a bad case of hangoveritis, and then taking an un-deserved day's rest yesterday.

On top of this short term blip, i'm in danger of becoming de-motivated as i found out from a third party over the weekend that mrs m was secretly hoping i'd be knocking the running on the head over the summer and when i subtly dropped the subject of Autumn Marathons into the conversation she didn't seem overly enthusiastic ...

VT - mine always plays up if i forget to tighten it. I find now that i have to tighten it right up every run as it works loose all the time. Maybe i need a new strap...   Also, a bit of lubricating jelly improves the contact.

Rubbish - enjoy the beer, i've forgotten what running a 20 miler feels like

Andi - i gave up the smokes about 8 years ago and still remember vividly the burning in my throat first time i went for a run a few months after giving up. Giving up can only improve you, how much i don't know but for sure you'll never hit your potential all the time you're smoking.

Brian - missed my long run Sunday for similar reasons  That's a corking 5k time. Talking of the hurt zone, i marshalled our local parkrun last Saturday and i was shocked how much the fella who won it seemed to be hurting as he went past me ... he was making a right old racket after just 2k, thought he was on his way out  I guess that's the pain you have to go through for a 15:30 and a 2minute win though. Sure made me consider how much more i could push myself   

chick - sorry to hear that, think i'd give the 10k a miss myself but fingers x'd it holds up and good luck

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
