Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr)
Oban is a nice place. Some lovely coastal things to do in summer, like guided sea kayaking (fully suitable for beginners) where you will see seals, and may even see otters and dolphins or whales. :-) G

Oban sounds lovely.

This thread is rocking at the moment. Some nice chat as well as a load of nonsense.

Perfect.

My last race of the year is this Sunday and I'm looking forward to a week off running afterwards.

Then 18 weeks of marathon training starts December 19th :-)

Which marathon are you doing Huntsman? I started my 18 week plan for Manchester on 28 November, although I had a serious attack of CBA yesterday and didn't run, so will aim to do Wednesday's session on Friday.

Good Morning, 1500ers. Quick moan to get it out of the way: clearly, 2016 has been saving its worst for December for me. Bad back continues, sore little stye in left eye and now my voice is turning all croaky. Still, better now rather than over Christmas.

Oban sounds very pleasant. Not sure what we're doing for our hols next year, haven't really thought about it yet. We're off to Ireland for a long weekend in April (the Connemarathon!)

Good luck with the marathon training jennyhhh :-) I don't have a spring marathon in mind yet, a club mate is talking about Edinburgh but I'm not sure. Got some long run training to do though, my usual marathon training buddy got GFA at London last year so got to keep her company :-)

Hope you're feeling better soon jabberkm x
