    8 miles this afternoon in 1.12, pace 9'04.
    Slow and tired for the first half but second half was grand.

    16 miles this morning, 6 on my own before I met up with the others.
    Really enjoyed this one, despite some bouts of tiredness. Why can't children be quiet and allow you a full night's sleep knowing you have an LSR the following morning!!!
    Lovely morning for a run, despite the cold wind in places. I think I was cold all the way round.
    16 miles in 2'29, pace 9'22.

    Can you not roll up a newspaper and give them a rap on the head and then put them in the garden if that doesn't work? Oh wait that's the dog :o!

    Dogs are easier, get a dog!:)

    A dog is loyal and you get back what you put in, if you die, a dog will starve before they'll leave your side, a cat however will eat you! ;)

    Why does everyone think the cat will eat me? Sure his diet is going well and he hasn't attacked me in a week so i'm hopeful. However i've learnt not to leave my toes hanging out of the duvet anymore:p

    He's most likely taking a break to build up his strength and then you're fcuked :P

    You're actually training him to be a sniper these days with that climbing frame. You'll only have yourself to blame when he's sneakily hanging from the chandelier in your bedroom some night; before dropping down onto your unsuspecting head and gouging your eyes out one by one. And then he'll give you worms. Because that's what miaow cats do. Just a word of warning my dear friend... ;)

    Thank you both for your 'input' but I'll go with option (c), none of the above.

    5 miles tonight. I'm not sure I can call them recovery as the pace was probably too fast.. at one stage the garmin was reading a pace of 9'45 so I thought great, I'll silence the critics!! However I hot home and the pace turned out to be 9'19.
    (I was going slow, honest)

    Sorry K but i got to answer this on your log. Firstly, young Claralara are you a fortune teller or what? He's got a new idea and this evening flew from the top of the bookcase onto the chair giving me an awful shock. Also if he tears out my eyes, worms will be the least of my worries:eek:

    And for what its worth, i don't have a chandelier in my bedroom. Just cause your gaff has one doesn't mean we all do:D

    5 miles tonight in 45 mins.

    Crappy run actually. 3 scumbags threw something across the road at me, not sure what it was, I think it was a stick. I was so fcuking angry, I shouted some obscenities at them. Then they threw something else. It just meant that I went a different route not as long as I intended.

    Grrrr

    Next time just keep running, don't make eye contact and don't draw them on you, little pr1cks in a group are dangerous!
