Update

Well, it's better. Not completely better, but it'll have to do. I'm sure it will be fine by Sunday, still two full days and the rest left. Just hope I don't hurt it walking around London. Bye!

OH SHEEET

Erm... I am currently panicing. I just hurt my ankle. I was sat on my feet and got up funny and I heard a big crack (Nothing scary in the crack, like when your knees crack) but now I am getting pain in my ankle. I can walk wih no problem but I think toadys run will be cancelled. Just when you thought that I'd cracked the training (excuse the pun) and it was just the marathon to do.

Balls.

I'll update later.

26.2 an uphill struggle

The clock just broke 5 days. Nervous now.

All bunged up

I'm just posting a little bit of a worry. I'm all bunged up, I think this is due to flowers that are making me sneeze but I'm a little worried. Wouldn't be the best timt to get a cold. Fingers crossed that a tri[ to Rochdale will sort me out. Lu if you read this can you make sure that mum has no flowers for me. Probably a bit late now but. Urk.

Oh yeah pizza was brill!!! Even if I do say blah blah

I'm a rubbish poster

Sorry guys, I have been very very pants recently, I'd love to blame running and work, so I will. I've been so busy running and when I'm not running working and when I'm supposed to be running working. It's all hard! Well I'm back to it now, Last week was rubbish with only ONE run but that was an 18miler. This week has started off better, I've onl;y done one so far but that is better than the start of last week. However, I am extra pleased with this one, it was a repeat of a hill run which I moaned and moaned about a couple of months ago. That one was up and down the hill 9 times, today I did 12 and didn't feel nearly as sick. That's training for you!

There you go I've posted, Phil can stop telling me off and Chris and Beccie, this means you have something to read between hobing and ... (erm that sounded good in my head but when I wrote it down it looked slightly different!) with celebrities and famous golfers! Why don't you get those richy richers to sponsor us!

Anyway, got to go. I'm making Pizza for Kay, although this skill should be inborn, being from southern Italian stock, I'm worried. Lets hope the dough is ok!

On the subject of Italy, well done you lot. 49.8% of you are divs and I can't see anything ever getting done (Berlusconi, has suggested one big coalition. What's the point of that! . Dumb ass) 2 senators but at least dumbo bumbo is on his way out (we hope!). Your lot next Beccie!

Souls of a Thousand Men

errr... wow. There have been one thousand views of this weblog, most of them by a small cirlce of 4 people (not including myself). I spotted this last night but Kay and I were too busy putting our little garden back together (see Kays blog for details, I assume she'll write it while I'm away for 4 HOURS!)

On that point I'm quite aprehensive about going out doing 22miles, not because I don't think I can do it, just because I really really don't want to be outside for 4 HOURS, it's very boring! Anyway this is the longest run before the taper so the hard work is nearly done.

I also want to say before I go (blurg) good luck to Phil, my running chum who has a few death prediction exams this week.

Oops, one more thing, fundraising is going super duper, I dunno how much we are gonna raise but it'll be more than I expected!

And one more, Chris and Beccie are now tops of the 'I know cool people' list, Phil's Estonia pop star, Barry's Silver Disc, my friend Mike going to shcool with a guy from The Coral and Kay's 'Bloke from the Housemartins', going to a party that Eddie Izzard was at, Auntie living near Jarvis's Mum AND snogging the drummer from Teenage Fanclub (I KNOW Phil - us staying together was a close call) all pale into insignificance next to: We know Norman "FBS" Cook!

If anyone can challenge this with somone even better/funnier/more obscure please do leave a comment.

Nearly 20 miles!

I thought I better put a quick post in because you lot seem to be getting a little frisky without a post. I haven't got much to say (as always) but as this is supposed to be a running diary I better tell you about the running. Well I have just got back from 7 miles of Speed running, I hate Tuesdays! My big acheivement was on Saturday, 19 miles. It wasn't pleasant especially because it was on a Sat! Very busy in Hilsborough and it was so hot that I had to take half my kit off. I then ran up to Crookes and Lodgemoor where it got very windy and cold and so I had to get dressed again. It took me 3hr5mins which I was pleased with. I also looked at a race pace calculator and according to that both Phil and I, taking into account our half marathon times, should complete a marathon in under 4hrs. Result! Might as well stop training eh!

On a lighter more interesting note, Kay found this on eBay. We nearly laughed 'til we wee'd. This man is selling a DVD with Girls smoking and Kissing but it's all totally in line with eBay rules and is absolutely not porn! Sure. Please read the description it's brilliant! I like the cementing their friendship bit. Please someone buy it so we can complain to the seller that it's not what we wanted. We wanted to cement our friendships with smoking and kissing. hehehe.
