Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Afternoon. I’ve been away for a few days and mostly not on t’internet so I’ve skimmed the 100+ posts on this thread and mostly forgotten what I’ve read. I hope you sorted out the flight issue ITG.

Huge blizzard here so just as well I did my intervals yesterday. I went to xfit and managed 10 x Double Unders* in a row! My previous record was.... 1.

So I'm quite chuffed with that :)

*Skipping where the rope goes round twice for every jump.

Thanks, everyone. :) Foot is sore, rather than actively painful, so can run on it- but planning to take things relatively easy. Last year was a PW by some distance (on no training for about 3 years) so - famous last words - should be able to bimble around for a personal course record anyway. :)

Big morning tomorrow first - it's Lala's cup final (Sheffield and Hallamshire Ladies U-9 Cup Final), for the plucky rebels of Huddersfield Town Ladies U-9s against the evil tyrants that are Doncaster Belles U-9s...

LD & Thornton Runner - I use Outlook on my laptop and have it on my phone too (keeps things synced nicely). I usually have reminders for everything which pop up in plenty of time but for some reason, doing one for "Book MOT" slipped through the net.

As I'm car-less, Mrs Wm let me borrow her car to get to golf today. Not a wasted journey as I won again (third time on the trot) :)

ITG - well done re your 10x double-unders :) Btw, we just finished watching "Trapped" Series 2 last night (set in Iceland). Good(ish) storyline and no-one trapped by snow this time! ;)
CStar - good luck with the interviews.
Doogs - good luck to Lala ..

Good luck to Lala & team for the Ladies U-9 Cup Final luck
More luck for Groundhog, that sounds fun, just a very looooong way.

Finally, ITG, Double-Unders medal. It’s too difficult, energy& coordination - I can no longer skip at all :-0 & used to love it. Maybe need to persevere.

I'm trapped in the snow, WtnMel! Hopefully not with a murderer hanging about though.

Double Unders were one of my 3 targets by the year end. The others are 1) one, honest to god, proper, right down and up, back straight push-up; and 2) one proper unassisted by a band pull-up.

The latter is gradually coming, in that I am using smaller and smaller bands. Push ups are still laughable. I can do a decent one on my knees (i.e. with good "form") but on my toes, I cannot get right down - or rather, I cannot get back up again if I go down and my arse is all over the place.

Good luck tomorrow GH, do you have to dress up as a minion? ;-) luck

What a difference a week makes - half a metre of snow with rain following last Friday and today was so hot with snow receding quickly, anyone might think it was actually Spring. :)
