You fall in love, zing boom

There and back.

Woo!
No wonder you can eat so many cakes.

Yeah, on a good day I can burn 1000 calories
what with cycling in to work and back as well. But I don't eat THAT many cakes I'll have you know!

woah! that's loads and pretty damn quick

It's a fair distance
I need to be able to double it in three months if I want to do this half marathon though - which will be tough. And I ought to be able to manage a 10 minute mile, which I haven't, so it's not that quick either.

What half marathon are you hoping to do?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:05, Reply)
I thought about the Bristol one
but it's in two months time, I doubt I'll be ready. So probably the Birmingham one, but it all depends so much on where I'll be and at the minute I don't know...

You'll be on the starting line.
Wearing lycra, with your iPod charged and possibly sporting a fetching headband.

Weirdly
I cannot run to music - it puts me off. But I hate cycling without it.

The Bristol half marathon is probably dead hilly.
I've never done it.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:13, Reply)
It could very well be
I imagine it's round the docks and Park Row etc. At least I know the majority of the Birmingham one is flat.

Would I be right in thinking that some OT'ers are doing the Bristol half?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:20, Reply)
I believe so
CHCB, Al and DiT I think, possibly Darth as well. If I thought I'd be adequately prepared, I'd sign up for it too...but I really won't.

Well good luck to 'em.
Fingers crossed they don't turned up with a begging bowl for some 'worthy cause'.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:31, Reply)
well it all sounds quick to me
but that's probably because about 5 minutes in I'd be a lardy sweating puffing lump and limp the rest of the way
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:11, Reply)
So YOU jog every morning.
hahahahahaha
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:12, Reply)
are you being mean?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:18, Reply)
Yes.
I'm suggesting you're always a sweating puffing lump.

Sorry.

I have never been so insulted in my l...
wait...in fact I have on this very thread!

Sorry Captain.
I'm tired. Tired and a little bit irritable.

And I took it out on you. For that, I apologise.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:23, Reply)
oh, OK
damn, was going for a fight, then
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:25, Reply)
I apologise again.
Please accept me asking after the piggies as a sign of just how sorry I am.

'How are the piggies?'

squeaky

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:31, Reply)
clean.

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:38, Reply)
I was like that for the first few weeks
I assure you it gets easier much more quickly than you think.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:14, Reply)
I don't think I'd get past the first bit
plus, it's VERY hilly here
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:19, Reply)
Steep enough for warning signs?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:20, Reply)
...don't you have a gym membership?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:25, Reply)
yeah, but I'm not a runner

You mean you'll stand and fight with anyone?

Good jog?

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 21:57, Reply)
I haven't been for nearly two weeks and it shows.

(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 21:59, Reply)
Well good for you, going for a jog.
Shows a lot of dedication that does.
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:04, Reply)
...
not nearly as much dedication as going three times a week would...
(, Tue 19 Jul 2011, 22:05, Reply)
Well, there is that.
But you've had a traumatic day.
