Cheers Chaps

BP - Our Kid's cried off so your call, Chief.

If you're doing LHP. I think i'll do a flattish early morning 5k near home. Then go for breakfast. You up for brekkers HG?

Aye count me in. Not sure if I'll make the run as out tonight but should manage an Enfield.

Speaking of which - your training G

Good man! You know it makes sense.

Did you get the 50th done Brucey? For my 49th I managed to chuff round Wetherby pr as a Stelios tribute act with completely shaved head and 07-08 away shirt. Had a good chat with a Leeds based Wanderers ST holder who spotted the shirt.
It was 3 laps of some big playing fields so not the best course. My housemate described it as like a bad PE lesson!

[Bruce Rioja]

Did it in my 04/05 home shirt, LE, although people kept asking me if I was a British relative of Mario Jardel.

50 seconds faster than last week's abomination but still 90 seconds outside my average. Still, it's hopefully heading back in the right direction. Your run sounds like the sort of thing we had to do when the pitches were waterlogged.

Good stuff Bruce. My weekend's on it's arse. Literally.

Following my swim and bike last night I've pickedup a bug that has left me no further than 20 feet from the toilet since about 10.00 pm. Absolutely shattered. I'm gutted as it means no race tomorrow and no long run. Serves me right for being cocky yesterday I suppose.

Ooof. That's not good at all. Obviously I'm not a fecking doctor or owt, but I do hope you're getting as much fluid on board as possible (even if it isn't hanging around for long).

Aye. Chemist sorted me out with various capsules. I drink lots anyway with hydration tablets.

[LeverEnd]

Better than an injury I guess. Hope you're soon ok.
Bruce I'm going to bring the 93-94 Barcelona style one out for the 50th next week.

Fantastic

Where are you doing it? I might be tempted in to doing it in this 90 to 93 actual rascal.

[LeverEnd]

Not sure. Taking niece and nephew away so not sure sure where I'll be. Fell Foot in Cumbria probably!

My fastest pr this year, Bruce gets name checked for his 50th and the sausages were excellent

Bad luck G. Not something you've picked up from open water swimming? A fluke? Like LE said, better than anything muscular I suppose . I'll assume we're off for Monday unless you recover well tomorrow?

I've swum 3 times this week. Once in open water. I also travel often on the tube. Just bad luck. I'lll let you know tomorrow but a the minute I couldn't run a bath.....

That's usually a good few miles more than it needs to be 'n'all.

Anyhow, I'm delighted to report I have an "official" injury. A blister from this morning.

Excellent work. See you for breakfast next Saturday 9.30am sharp!

^^ Tell that HG I ain't sharing any.

You'll have no need to if you can do a park run and then get to breakfast for 9.30! You'll be on the cigars by the time we show up!

To be fair I don't go to Wembley that often.

Congratulations on your legitimate injury.

[Worthy4England]

I could miss Rio coz of this.

Nah. I don't think you should pass up the chance of giving duckface a good shoeing. I say go for it (but get some blistease for the aftermath)

Knocked a whopping 90 seconds of my 10k PB, but I think I need to invest in some of these https://www.achillesheel.co.uk/nipguard ... 0wodVkEGyQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; #ouch

Knocked a further 4m 10s off my PB and SMASHED the one hour barrier with a 10k time of 59:59 and no nipple issues!

Brilliant stuff, Beefy. Now do it in a replica Wanderers shirt - let us know how your nipps turn out then?!
