When I'm 64 !!

That's number of marathons not age, cheeky lot !!! I can still pass for under 50 just !!!

Talking of the Beatles - After yesterday's 30 mile Downland Challenge I felt like Paul McCartney in his time with Heather Mills, lots of ups & downs but at the end of it I was F**ked !!

Actually I really enjoyed the whole day, although turning up late wasn't exactly in the plans, British Rail at it's best decided to have a lie in & not run the 7.11 am train, hence had to "phone a friend" Allan to sweet talk the organisers to let us go off late.

We headed off 17 mins late & was like a velodrome pursuit as we head off after the 9am starters, it seemed cool to be fashionably late & make an entrance but no one was there for our entrance they were 2 miles up a hill !!!

Met some great people including Fetchie & Facebook buddies I'd never met.

following the race there was a fair few of us carbo loading in the pub - sausage butties, chips & lager :)

I managed to pick up a lovely "run tan" including a stripe across my forehead much to the hilarity of the guys !!!

was an all round good day at the "office" :)

Keep on running

Foxy !

run for home

run as fast as i can....... (Lindisfarne)

well actually I didn't run as fast as I could to get home, I'd just finished my first 10km race, after 33.4 miles on the Saturday & a Monday rest day I was wondering if I could break the 45 minute barrier, that was my goal in my first attempt at the distance - I got round in 43.41 so was very pleased with that, it's a tough distance you have to run faster than normal pace & you don't get any rest, won't rush to do it again, but if i can break 43.30 that's sub 7 min miling so something to aim for ?

First time I have run home from a race, just 3 miles from my doorstep. With £3.00 in my pocket the choice was get the bus home or have a pint & run home, I went for the latter - a good choice :) Got to meet some fetchies - aka billy & sparkly bridget, plus Tim from the club & Mr Bbiggs was there too, couldn't let the old boy beat me but didn't finish much ahead of him, a minute perhaps ?

The title was very nearly "spit it out" by whitesnake, last week I ran an hour after a spicy Chinese & ran quickly but my stomach wasn't greatly happy, got home & threw up to the sounds of spit it out by Whitesnake - that ipod can read my mind - it had 1500 songs to randomly choose & picked that one !!

Counting the days until the end of the month with my fingers crossed for that 10 in 10 in '10 place & being able to throw myself into the fundraising head first.

Keep on running

foxy !!!
