Welshpoppy 3 Jan 3:00pm, 3 Jan 2025 5,361 posts	0 Welshpoppy My first internet shop since we moved so shows milder conditions last winter. Dewi is fully recovered but very nervous so still inside, driving me nuts but rather it that way.Goes in crate at night and used to it but wont settle unless i am in bed as well good job I am in bed early. OH will have his work cut out when I go away middle of February.
Shades 3 Jan 3:54pm, 3 Jan 2025 5,621 posts	0 Shades WP - I've never done an internet food shop, but I would if I couldn't get out to do a shop. Glad Dewi has recovered well. Hopefully in time he'll become less nervous. Tomorrow is normally my rest day but I might go for a short run if the weather is OK.
Shades 4 Jan 5:37am, 4 Jan 2025 5,624 posts	0 Shades Lighter frost here this morning but I've decided not to run today. Just an occasional twinge in my calf and it will be more comfortable to run in the balmy 13 degrees promised for Sunday morning. I've found one of my target races for 2026 dartmoormarathon.eventrac.co.uk Says all road and 7 hour limit 😀
Welshpoppy 4 Jan 6:48am, 4 Jan 2025 5,363 posts	0 Welshpoppy Shades are you still having 12 degrees tomorrow?as ours dropped to 2 degrees and rain. Hope calf is better tomorrow. I will await it getting light but maybe a run day.
Welshpoppy 4 Jan 6:50am, 4 Jan 2025 5,364 posts	0 Welshpoppy That looks a good race to target in 2026. I did get sent down rabbit hole looking at the sponsor flapjackery😀 who knew so many varieties existed.
Big_G 4 Jan 6:59am, 4 Jan 2025 4,365 posts	0 Big_G Flapjackery - I was given these as a Xmas present. As you can see, we’ve not eaten any yet!!
Shades 4 Jan 7:00am, 4 Jan 2025 5,627 posts	0 Shades WP - I've double checked 3 weather apps, 11 to 13 degrees here at 6 a.m. tomorrow, rain but that's fine with me. I haven't looked at the flapjacks !

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades

Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon.

Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
