And I was laughing at you forgetting your trunks...

Aaah, forgot about that bit.

Borrowed trunks. That's bad that is

Still got your number (if you've not changed it since March)

Still the same. Give me a bell next week.

Was invited on a club run this morning. Coops dozen - an 18 mile trek over Rivington & Belmont running up to 12 landmarks -Winter Hill, the Pike etc. Jeez, one of the toughest runs I've ever been on. We were out for over 4 hours and it took me nearly an hour to get the mud off.

If they invite me next year I might tell em to shove it up their ar5e

Sounds tough. Did my monthly 5k handicap yesterday. Finished in 21:12 which is 8 seconds outside my PB. Looking forward to Leverhulme Park next week.

Nice one Doing a loosener tomorrow then I've got a 4.5 mile trail race Wednesday. Hill session Thursday and hopefully be fresh for Saturday. Looking at your times G we should be pretty close to one another at the finish, although my fastest park run at Leverhulme is a good 20 secs outside your pb. I'll give you a buzz Thursday/Friday?

Sounds good. As I don't know the course I'll just try and hang on to your coat tails. No expectations on this one.

As mentioned on another thread I find myself in Bolton on the 4th August. Anyone fancy doing the Park Run at Leverhulme Park? Bruce? HG? Caps? Anyone else?

Pissed off with myself that I've absolutely no chance of this - and it's all my fault for not keeping on top of it.

Am going to go back into thebish's original running plan, at week six (starting when I get home).

Sorry guys - I would have loved to.

Actually, we could meet for breakfast if you're up for it - yes

Could do. All over bar the shouting by 09:30 so a quick nosebag would be good. You know that area better than me so suggestions would be appreciated.

HG?

I think there are a couple of little places on Bury Rd, in fact, I'm sure there are.

[Bruce Rioja]

Anyway. 3K under the belt. It's a start (again). This lardy brek won't earn itself now, will it?!

[Harry Genshaw]

Great shout on the Brekky Bruce - pity you're not quite ready for the run though, although I'm sure you'd surprise yourself if you decided to have a bash.

Agreed. It's only another mile, Brucie.

[Gary the Enfield]

Track mile tonight in 5:47:40

Happy GtE

[Gooner Girl]

Well done GtE

I did 2 miles tonight in far too slow a time for me to repeat on here. Over a hilly course but well over a minute smiling slower then last year I am knackered. Sooo unfit. I hope they treat us gently at footy training tomorrow. Just had to have an icecream to recover.

there's your problem - trying to smile while you run! A gurning grimace is much better I find!

[Gooner Girl]

Damn predictive text!

Can I come to the breakfast, or do you have to be able to run, at least in theory?
