[startingover]

Good morning all!

and a cold dark morning it is here today.

I have woken full of enthusiasm for the 10k RUN that I have agreed to do with Slimeball, Oney and BH so have to now start to plan some training for us

This will give you a great incentive to stay off the fags (smokes to our US friends) Oney. And it will give me a goal to work to.
I need a new goal with all the changes currently in my life. And at least this will be a healthy distraction.

Off to walk the dogs now so will catch you all later.

Have a lovely day all to come
Love Starts

You are VERY welcome Uni! I am an insomniac so usually up early ) the others generally surface a little later. And the "over the ponders" like yourself a bit later still.
We have a laugh well as serious times, I have found the support amazing and couldnt have stayed sober without everyone here. I think it is a very special place. I am glad you are here....

Morning Starting and welcome Uni
Starting you are an early bird - how do you do a days work with so little sleep? I need 8 hours every night otherwise I am useless. Well I am useless anyway but especially useless with no sleep. I googled the mini marathon and its the June bank holiday weekend in Dublin and you cant register until Feb 2009 so we might be jumping the gun a little bit with getting in training now dont ya think!
Incidentally when I joined MWO in April I didnt think I would live to see Xmas now we are talking about doing marathons!
Universal sounds like you are getting there too.

Now that could be our back up plan - go out hard and then at the first bend head for the ditch and ring a taxi! But lets just keep Plan B to ourselves for now as Starting looks like she is going to take the whole training aspect seriously! She is scaring me. Do you think she is the divil?

Hi Pan
If they let me in they will let anyone in!
Would we also get a sense of achievement if we get a taxi at the first bend. Personally I think so. Its a bit is different I admit but still an achievement.

Good morning all,

A nice, crisp morning here in Central Scotland.
I'm feeling a little better again this morning. I have the day 3 furry tongue that tastes like a badgers arse (and I should know; I've tasted a few). While the alcohol gets out my system, I find that every 3 days or so, I get the furry tongue syndrome in the mornings for a week or two.
I have not a lot to do today, so I'll do it to the best of my ability.
I'll go to the jobcentre and see if they're still looking for astronaughts.
Have a great day folks.

Hi All

This marathon sounds quite cool- I think I could be up for that (says her who can run about 10 metres before collapsing in a coma gasping for breath) but where will it be and when? I could get a few days away to most places on this planet

Army Thread 12th November 2008

Oh yes, I could get away for a day or 2- takes a bit of planning with the animals, but I can do it- where will it be?
