Thanks folks :-)
Hoping to get 10 miles done this weekend at some point. My car will not be at home on Sunday so that will be a good run to get it.

Have a great weekend folks and see you all on the other side ;-)

I need to try and fit ten miles in sometime tomorrow if I can, won't be easy to cram in, I do find life gets in the way of running and no one else seems to understand it. When folks ask if you are doing anything at the weekend and you say "running ten miles" they then think that it doesn't matter and it can be cancelled and you can therefore go and do X Y or Z all day with them and it's fine. I want to shout NO, ITS NOT FINE, ITS IMPORTANT TO ME - I HAVE A MARATHON IN X WEEKS TIME AND ITS GOING TO HURT LIKE HELL IF I DON'T GET OUT THERE AND GET DOUBLE-DIGIT MILEAGE IN EVERY WEEKEND BETWEEN NOW AND THEN! Maybe that should be on the TYWTSBC thread!

I shouldn't moan, I have my family coming over Sunday for Dads birthday. It will be great to see everyone, they are all really lovely, they will all appreciate everything we do, I have got expert help obviously from Mr Lemon who is excellent on these occasions, and apart from all of that its great to still have my parents around to celebrate their birthdays, and if my sister and her family do emigrate (Canada possibly) then I will miss them. But you know, I need run, coz I am an afleet!
