I was just talking about the "10K" to a colleague. Jokers. I appear in photo 86 (bib 1491). Although by missing off part of my head keeps up the 'International Man of Mystery' angle.

Talking of photos does anyone know if they will send round finish photos you can buy as the same company did for Worthing 10k? It's the only race I've ever done where my head is up at the end and I'm "sprinting" against someone else. In all the others I look like I've been shot.

Did you not get an email from Epic Action yesterday with your official photos?

No....but it was in my junk mail! Thanks......
You're welcome! Hope there's some good ones in there for you. I can't take the smile off my face in most of mine - was a great morning
Day of work today so I got out for a quick 7 mile run, considering I've put on 5lbs after my Chicago trip despite a 5 mile run their on my last day I ran this quicker than any other run covering this distance before. Splits as follows:-
1 7:12.6 1.00 7:13
2 7:06.5 1.00 7:07
3 6:44.9 1.00 6:45
4 6:40.3 1.00 6:40
5 6:31.2 1.00 6:31
6 6:35.8 1.00 6:36
7 6:24.3 1.00 6:24
Time 47:15 Avr Pace 6:45
Next event Brooks 10k Sunday November 15th with hopefully a few Park Run's too.

31 days without a run ended with a 4 miler just now. Swimming 1.25k every other day and a press up and planking regime has left me very much running unfit. Also 5lbs up but hopefully that is upper body muscle and not fat! As [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] has noticed it will be a slow and hard few weeks to get back into gear.
A plan is needed as the Brooks 10k beckons followed by the Mince Pie run. That means no full effort Parkrun until after the 10k. So 21 November full effort Parkrun anyone?

First run out since Sunday, and first one that hasn't been a race since 8th October!
Went for it for a bit, then faded, and took it easy for the last (uphill) mile. Eight miles done in an hour - get in! Like [MENTION=18183]big nuts[/MENTION], I've put a big on (fuelling up is my excuse) so was especially pleased, although the splits are a bit all over the place...

I won't be there that weekend- away for a wedding - but don't let that stop you!
You could help me for the Brighton 10k in 3 weeks. Remind me of your Phoenix 10k time when you left me for dead and your last 10k, which was better.
I will then burst every vein in my bald head in the effort to try and beat at least the Phoenix time.
The curse of the Brooks Adrenaline 15 sole / grip has struck again. See below for a picture of mine. This is after two months and about 300 kilometres - I would expect to be getting at least 300 miles out of a shoe. They haven't 'gone' in any other way, just the outside grip on the right foot exactly the same as [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ;s.
With that in mind popped in to SweatShop today to do their proper gait analysis thing. Felt a bit disloyal to Run but I wanted to test their insoles and a wider range of shoes than I could just running round the block. I have settled for a pair of much lighter Mizuno with insoles. I am not pronating at all (which I thought I would be) but have slightly high arches. We'll see how long these last and if I get any foot pain back.

Given what happened to me (free pair of shoes through the post) when I sent a very polite "is this expected?" email, I'd drop them a quick email if I were you - I can give you the details.
Definitely do this.....I get 1,000+ miles out of GTS 14s and the same out of Racer STs (and I'm a lump). Giving up after 300k isn't normal.
Looking forward to a run tomorrow after kicking some footballs into a garden on the way up. Will have to drop the pace though.
For that 10k time you can easily beat that. I was 45 seconds behind that evening feeling a bit like Bobby Zamora must do if playing more than 20 minutes.
Yes please! PM them over when you get time. Cheers for that.

Tomorrow will mark my first park-run in 10 weeks after a PB (22:09).
Under 24:00 tomorrow will be great.

If anyone knows of a spare entry for the Great South Run Sunday I would be interested in buying it now that the wife isn't flying to New York.
If not I'll be hitting the under cliff to Saltdean and back, to up my longest run since the Brighton marathon from 10 to 12 miles, weather looks good first thing plus it will get light around 6am with the clocks going back.
