Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 6:24am, 5 Apr 2018 684 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I'd be worried about the tooth flaring up again Lee and if you think the parkrun made your knee niggly why would you risk another? I hope you're over it Baz and 57.5. I'm the same with 10ks Fergus and I've never raced a standalone 5k. Hope you slept well jda. Keep it easy and keep the stretching going Fordy.

Fordyboy Apr 2018 10:12am, 5 Apr 2018 124 posts	0 Fordyboy Thoughts on a suitable foam roller substitute that will fit/be allowed in my hand luggage? Tennis ball?
icenutter Apr 2018 10:36am, 5 Apr 2018 126 posts	0 icenutter Too soft. Hockey will be better. Light and hard.
Fordyboy Apr 2018 11:04am, 5 Apr 2018 125 posts	0 Fordyboy Thanks Icenutter. Hadn't thought of that. I have a cricket ball so that'll do the job.
Fordyboy Apr 2018 11:06am, 5 Apr 2018 126 posts	0 Fordyboy What are the chances of me getting a rolling pin through security?
icenutter Apr 2018 11:14am, 5 Apr 2018 127 posts	0 icenutter If you don’t mind a full cavity search as a bonus.
Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 11:14am, 5 Apr 2018 685 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I've taken my stick - but not as hand luggage, no reason they should refuse it though. If you want to save some weight/space you could just buy a bottle of wine or beer once you get there and use that Fordy. Hope the dog is better soon. Beautiful morning for running here, sort of day you want to just stay out and run and run, blast the taper! Having said that I had a great run this morning, fastest outside of a race possibly this year.
Fordyboy Apr 2018 11:28am, 5 Apr 2018 127 posts	0 Fordyboy Icenutter - if I have to undergo a cavity to search to make the start line on Sunday then so be it! Thanks LMH - dog has picked up a bit. She's eating now at least. Thanks for the beer/wine suggestion. Pleased you had a good run this morning. Lovely weather here too.
