Curry leftovers mmmmmmm; always better than the night before.

Most definitely. It was a close call, leftovers of massive bag of bobby's bacon snacks. I can now confirm the judges vote was BOTH!

Happy Running.

9 miles for me this morning from Winchelsea Beach to Rye and back. Furthest I have run since last years marathon as I hurt my knee. Felt good this morning though.

Wow, hill running is HARD, espeically after pizza for breakfast. Feel good though, even if it was just 4 and a 1/2 miles (didn't wanna go too long too early), did take in Freshfield Road though.

I was reading your threads at about 2pm trying to think of everything under the sun why I shouldn't go running this afternoon (Need to change the ipod Shuffle playlist; wait till the Thai soup goes down; see what the Newcastle second half is like...) but decided if you all did it, I too will get my backside off the couch. Thanks for the spiritual motivation as I have just finished a good half marathon distance from Shoreham to Worthing pier and back, 10 mins quicker than I did on New Years eve. Am enjoying the post run cider now...

Such a great running day today, cold and sunny. Enjoyed a run over the downs with a great view of the Amex, it looks so fantastic from up there. However it did remind me how long runs make me pretty useless for the rest of the day.

That's what I find quite difficult - the fact that you're so screwed after a long run, it can effectively write off the rest of the day.

A couple of times last year I did them quite late in the day so I could just shower, eat and then fall into bed!

Hadnt thought of adopting this late in the day option, ive always gone early morning. Just hope I dont talk myself out of the runs!

I'm normally an early morning runner - I like to get up and out and get the run done but I found this tactic really works for those long runs of, say, 2:45+

I am willing to give this a try in my quest for a sub 4 marathon this year.
