The bus leaves at 8:15 doesnt it?
God i might aswel not go to bed. :D
is Roger the Dodger Vrabbit gonna be there as i need someone fat and tall to follow!! otherwise i will get blown over?? :rolleyes:
o pudgy got a load of dandelion and burdock over here for you it's no good for me as it says diet:p also there a bottle of wine dated 2001 'tastes like penguin piss but after 2 glasses you won't know the differance!':rolleyes:
there you go Al you can follow Van damme that Vrabbit or Pudgy, you could always follow Disto stan but you will need a steam train to keep up with that little man.. :D
Im just going to follow the guy in front and trundle along, see how my legs and knee feels. Im a tad worried that my legs may struggle with the distance as i have hardly trained since the start of November/ end of October but well see how things go. :)Quote:

I dont think my part-time job does me any favour. Im a shelf stacker but i have quite a physical job compared to the fattys who put shampoo on the shelfs. Im constantly twisting my knee and by the end of a shift my knee is killing. So i duno if stopping running for a while is guna make much difference if im screwing it up working.
Its starting to really get me down now though. Before christmas and before the knee started, i was looking forward to getting some good training and milage done, to help me do alright in races. But the fact that i cant even train is just winding me up. I have to rely on a knee support to get me round a race.
I shouldnt have bad knees at 18!:mad::(
joking apart, have you thought about special trainers, I used to suffer from knee trouble when i first started running. I was overpronating, so now I train and sometimes race in them big trainers, the Mrs says I look abit like scary spice (without the hair) but they sorted me out eh.Quote:

Also - you reakon i can leave my compass and whistle at home?
No- I doubt they will be happy with the walking trousers- water repellent is not the same as waterproof. I notice it does say on the ogden site Waterproof and windproof jacket- ie not just pertex. It will be interesting to see if they check( I am taking both and will see what it is like as I have no wish to be soaked and frozen)
Guess your comment re map, comapss, whistle was a joke? Take them.
Oki doki. Ive got my new OMM jacket so im ok on that front. Will leave the walking trousers behind then - shame really as they fould in nice and small. I need to try and buy some proper trousers.Quote:

Yeah, be told Fowler! Even if your map skills are a little suspect, you can follow a rough bearing to safety if the ordure really hit the fan. Similiarly if you had to wait for Mountain Rescue you'll get cold very quickly (think of when we stood around for 5 minutes at XOTF) then think what you'd want to be wearing. Personally I think windproof is much more important than waterproof, but it still needs to be a reasonable shell. If I had any spare I'd lend them you, but I haven't, so I won't :rolleyes:
Yep, did Ashurst Beacon today, throughly enjoyed it, and am presently indulging in pre race training with a cheeky little red. See you all tomorrow :D
Weathers battering the house here - hopefull it should get most of it out of its system for tomorrow.Quote:

I doubt you could walk slowly enough to stay with me! Have confidence in yourself, and go for it. Or put it another way, bugger off!!!:p
Its not a case of confidence, my knee aint feeling too well and i killed my heal at work last night at work.Quote:

And anyway - you tell me to bugger off all you want....i shall remain by your side unless you lamp me. :D
Your not old enough to be a wreck yetQuote:

Left turn Clyde! Yeah, you'll be fine on the day and raring to go, but you're welcome to jog slowly round with me if you want. Somehow I think you'll disappear off soon enough :D
Well i hope that is the case;). Shall ice in the morning and then hope for the best. Ill have my knee supports on show for you all you admire and get jelous of...:DQuote:

Ok, i'll just shout "Hey yo Al" then you won't know if its me or Rocky, ya know;)Quote:
