Hopefully this'll provide a vaguely entertaining account of the madness behind why I get up at 7am to running 10 miles quite casually, and maybe the odd shock pic if I get bleeding nipples from the next marathon.

I was just about to post my running blog. Now everyone will think i'm a bandwagon arse. Good work though, *bookmarked*

You're doing a marathon but know you're gonna have to stop halfway and it will take a week to recover.

Good luck with them though! If you have a blog knocking around, please post it so I can make notes as well!

My Dad's a runner so I have 2nd hand experience of the crap you;re going to go through. (lots of minor injury's just as you reach your peak)
Here's a good athletics site: www.athletics-weekly.com/
One of my neighbours is in that small and dwindeling group of nutters that have managed to run every single London Marathon. Quite impressive.

Does this mean that Virgin have announced who has and hasn't got in for the London Marathon? This is my second year I've applied, I hope I get in!
I'm currently running 3 miles 4 times a week, then slowly increasing my distance over the next few months. I want to be running two 10 mile runs a week by the end of the year.
It sounds like you enjoy your running a lot, have you ever done the Grizzly Run?
( , Tue 21 Jul 2009, 12:20, Reply)

I hope you get in as well! It's a great experience, and by the sounds of it, you'll be nicely in shape for next April. Nothing like four solid hours of hot sweaty activity eh?
( , Tue 21 Jul 2009, 12:46, Reply)

That was up and down hills, on pebbled beaches and through a really sticky bog. I'm hoping for a similar time for the marathon, though running flat straight streets is going to be tough.
Good luck yourself, you have been added to my b3ta bloggers blog roll thing.

Ref trilby hats.
There's plenty of Nathan Barley types in the Northern Quarter in Manchester that wear them so, yes.

I think Nathan Barley pre-dates Pete Doherty (sic?) in the trilby wearing/cunt stakes.

Their 'review' of Lars von Trier's Antichrist.
Highlight of the piece is probably "I haven't seen it myself, nor shall I - and I speak as a broad-minded arts critic, strongly libertarian in tendency. But merely reading about Antichrist is stomach-turning, and enough to form a judgment".
Brilliant.

I've seen some of Lars von Trier's films and based on those and what I've heard, I really won't be watching Antichrist

his films are generally without any form of compassion and tend to end badly in a depressing "I could have done without that" kind of way.
Dancer in the Dark (the one with Bjork playing a blind woman who is sentenced to death) is a relatively cheery musical one if you want to dip your toes in at the sunny end.

But Blimey! If you say Dancer in the Dark was the HAPPY end of his spectrum..... 0_0

I doubted for a while that they actually used chalk on the road and had done some clever special effects. But it was lovely. Liked the way the manhole cover was used as a planet later on. Must have taken ages.
