You know that thought crossed my mind, but I just couldn't type it.....

Mr Slow · 04-10-2010 10:42am

Digger + vest + banana + Furry Glen = ?

Ah Digger don't worry about it, I'm sure it does the job

Perkina3 · 04-10-2010 10:46am

Lads I am not going to lie...I am a little worried and disturbed by all of this talk of bananas and thinking..... that seems like a worrying combination on this board

I'd love to be able to tell you that you're getting warm, but it was all very innocent.

I knew i would miss something by going out on Sunday instead...

Stiff and a banana comment...Digger you need to explain yourself pronto

Just posted on my training log about my 20miler (well, 19.7 miler) on Saturday. Stuggled to keep up with the boys at 17 miles and just stopped. Total exhaustion. I managed to walk/run the last 3 miles or so and was happy to arrive home uninjured, while being a bit deflated.

Thanks to the guys for such a great run (well up to mile 14 or so), Meno, ladGAGA, Grimbergen, Ray, Brian & digger.
Brian, apologies I was so zombie-like when you were talking to me. I was concentrating so much on just keeping going. Sorry about that.
Thanks again.

Had just read your log too, i know your probably *issed to say the elast, but you got through it, you done it none the less.

It was a very tough week last weeks training, i'm not surprised the bodies are wrecked. Taper will have you bursting with energy, wait and see. I was bursting to go yesterday and i'd only had a week off long runs as such, imagine 3.

Look, I'm not one to talk...So I'll just say that jcsmum really needed to consume my banana....Now that's the last I'll say on the subject!

Excuse me, I'm a lady.

Perkina3 · 04-10-2010 11:10am

Haha.... Oh on the description of gels...I tried out the apple powerbar ones there on sat for my 15 miler and let me just say I have never EVER tasted anythin as vile in my life....(They are really good and actaully have gone best with my stomach) I also tried out thsoe ones you get in tesco which are a lot easier to take and were ok!!! Powerbar

> like Diggers banana

Gives a similar boost....;)

Mr Slow · 04-10-2010 11:13am

I just read Jcsmum's log, Digger - you're a star and if I didn't think you were a nice guy before - now you're a rock star and Jcsmum, you stuck with it - be proud of that.

nachoqueen · 04-10-2010 11:20am

and people say the internet is full of pervs... so not true

Back a bit better today, going out tonight on grass in bushy park to see if its any better

jcsmom i think that boink thing was really good thing to happen in training, if anything remotely happens like that at DCM you will know how to handle it

All the pervy talk has corrupted how i think about gels, corrupted I tell ya

I'm sure there are those that would be happy to think about gels in that way, for proof I refer you back to the internet, not that I've ever looked at those things - I use the internet purely for educational purposes:rolleyes:

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, hope you'll be in action on Saturday.

I don't chat to anyone about running! Boards is like my secret double life!
