Got pissed on strong Swedish spirits at midsummer and borrowed a canoe without permission.
It worked out well. We didn't drown.

Also spontaneously decided to run a marathon. I missed al's marathon thread earlier so I'm going to just shoehorn that in here. Did he mention it's one of the toughest marathons in the UK? It is. We're nails.

I definitely have an ILOC.
My stubbornness is the only thing that gets me through runs.

I've discovered the best way to make myself go to the gym is to go not expecting to do much but think that anything is better than doing nothing.
And then as I get into it, as I invariably do, I do quite well and go home feeling chuffed.


I fool myself quite often with this technique.

Oh and did you see the bit where it says "run without headphones"?
I'm choosing to ignore that and the walking advice.

That's all well and good when you're training with a group of over positive americans
but when you're on your own on a wet and rainy night in north london, I'm gonna wear my fucking headphones.

Me too. And I'm NOT GOING TO WALK, YOU HEAR ME?

I'm aiming not to walk.
I bought a bum bag thing with a pocket for jelly beans and a holder for your water bottle.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 12 Jan 2012, 15:18, Reply)

I'm quite excited about the jelly beans.

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Thu 12 Jan 2012, 15:21, Reply)

Are the jelly beans to trip up the runners behind you?

( girlinthehole, Thu 12 Jan 2012, 15:22, Reply)

Nah, I use aniseed balls for that.
