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

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

You'd be more than welcome William.

That'd be fantastic.

Someone save me a bacon butty? I feel I'm missing out!

Did another 3K tonight, but have made a schoolboy mistake. I cut some new insoles down to size as per the pattern rather than just try putting them in my trainers first to see how they felt. As a result I spent the last bit of the run in a state of increasing discomfort as the supported-arches in my trainers forced the cut edges of the insoles to rub into the soft flesh in the arches of my feet. They're all red and sore now, and I feel a bit daft.

Get some Sudocrem on 'em and take a couple of Ibuprofen.

Cheers Gaz. Will have to nip round to Morri's. This should be fun - walking up to the checkout looking like I've just been dry-fecked and then plonking Sudocrem on the counter.

90 min of footy training done. Warm up, fitness circuit, crossing practice, 3 vs 3 and a match. Felt much more 'on the ball' (boom boom) this week

Obviously the relief of your job situation is helping your training.

That'll be it!

Though we did some good drills in training and i kept thinking - "Oooh, i could try this with the kids at work" before realising i am now just teaching swimming!

HG - presuming you're not Andy Staveley

1 are you on the pic in the Bury Times
2 was Dr Kevin Jones on that Radcliffe thing?

Wish I was as fast as Andy Staveley. Not in the same league as 'The Mexican' sadly.
I didn't hang around for the presentation so missed the photos but got my t-shirt - very nice too. I dont know this Dr chap, cant see his name on the 3 day results

You both know Andy 'tache! Ace guy.

Did a trail race in Chorley last night, enjoyed it but still 20 secs away from the PB I set last year. Last weekends yomp over Rivington seems to have taken so much out of me, I couldn't bring myself to do the club hill session tonight.

Any road, more important matters - Saturdays post park run brekky - any ideas where to go/decision made? CAPS not up for it?

Nice one (not CAPS current housing situation obviously). Where abouts in Astley Bridge is it? Before or after Tobbutts/Asda? I imagine GtE and I could get there for 10am

I can do that - have you checked it's open on Sunday at ten?

CAPS is in custody.

I grassed him up.

He's down for 20 years without benefit of clergy.

Best phone call i ever made...
