Love Lambageddon!

Hope you can sort your mum out, LD.

Spinning this evening. We have new bikes too. I haven't had a chance to play with them yet.

Morning all. Feel much better after a 90 min nap last night, dinner, a quick chat and then back to bed. Ran in; will run home, so all missed miles accounted for and the double run does a lot for my confidence.

I'll also be helping at VMLM Fetchpoint. There's nothing quite like it :-)

RA I am hearing rumours that we don't have a tent this year :-o
Hope to bump into you anyway, and good luck :)

Envious of .B. running with a Fetchie and getting a new sticker. I've have run home from the garage. The first mile was horrible because it's along one of the main routes from the motorway into town and at 8:30am you can imagine how clean the air was :-( but when I got home I was disappointed to find it wasn't *quite* four miles so I have to run up and down the garden a bit to make it 4.01 miles :-) When I go back to collect the car it's all downhill so I'll go a slightly different route. The garage people might think it strange if I run around their forecourt to bring up the 4 mile mark :-)

Ridiculously cold here, even by my standards, so I cut 10 min of my planned 90 min run last night. My legs and my Garmin had a significant difference of opinion regarding how fast I was going too. I wasn't exactly pushing it, but I didn't think I was *that* slow.

When I got in and got undressed, my arms and legs went bright red, itchy and with weals and dimples. I think it's a kind of hives reaction to the cold. Of course, I left the sodding antihistamines in Italy so I had to wait it out.

No running today and traveling tomorrow but I might squeeze in a treadmill shuffle at CPH Hilton tomorrow evening.

Giving a ITG a 22 mile head start this week and I've 'only' got a HM on the cards for Sunday. Not sure I'm going to catch her before the end of the month :-)

I'm tapering, oh starry one! I've a 15k on Saturday and then it's all little bursts until the marathon 2nd April. I've got a half on 9th April, then I'm putting my feet up (or maybe digging the bike out).

Last night, I finished the Roma marathon in 3.40. I was soooo happy as I never thought I'd ever come close to a time like that and don't really expect to break 4 hours. Then I woke up, realised it was a dream, and was quite deeply disappointed. I also decided I will be sad when I finish the marathon for real, because there is no chance of making that time. I will never be as happy as I was in that dream. Sniff. [I feel a bit less dramatic in the (very) cold light of day. A medal is a medal after all! And a t-shirt! And a bag!]

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
