Why would you need several bottles - you hardly put it back in the bottle after you're done!
Maybe I'm just weird but I don't like the thought of the one i rub all over my feet going on to other more delicate places
If it didn't come deodorant stick style it wouldn't be a problem.
Hey a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do...better than getting my feet chewed up or having horribly chaffed thighs... which has happened :eek: I put the glide anywhere two body parts touch to be safe :cool:Sorry limoncella, had to giggle when i saw this!!0 -

YES, I feel so antisocial and annoying especially since it's hard not to talk on and on about something that takes so much time. None of my friends are runners so it's probably really irritating to them. oh well...I least I know I need to lock myself away from everyone when the taper madness sets in

She won't kill you for the 20 mile run but probably for wanting to do nothing more than putting your feet up after

God bless her - my wife is being very understanding and supportive with the running.
We've recently found out that we have a second child on the way (after about 4 years of trying !! long story for a different thread) and at the moment she is plagued with bad sickness. Morning sickness isn't accurate it's an all day one for her. So when I am heading out - especially for my long runs a good part of me feels bad that I should be helping her a bit more / looking after our first born. She though is very supportive - to the point that she will fling my running gear at me and tell me to get the £$%%^ out and get it done 0 -

Itll all be worth it though......This is our Olympics
Absolutely, living is about running these days, in a good way though, I feel so enthusiastic and upbeat about the whole thing - well, until about 9pm when I fade and look for my bed!! Def agree that the short runs are getting tougher, had a sluggish 5 miles this morning, but can almost taste the big day now, getting so close:D 0 -

Congrats PM, exciting times ahead for ya ! I've got two (boys) of my own and they are great. They kill each other sometimes but they couldn't imagine life without the other around :pac:
Anyway, no work for me today so I got to do my running in the daylight !
19km done, and I have to say that these runs are feeling easier and easier all the time. Maybe it's just that I had more time today, and actually did a great stretching session and foam rolling before I hit the road. Whatever it was, this one felt sooooo comfortable.
Great day for it too, sun really beating down. I was almost glad to be running straight into a stiff wind at times

Congratulations! Better to be doing all the training now rather than after baby arrives! Another little one to cheer u on!!Pageant Messiah wrote: »God bless her - my wife is being very understanding and supportive with the running.

Yes :eek: I find telling as wide a circle as possible that you're doing it means on any given day someone is BOUND to ask you how your training is going - bore them and get it out of your system before going home to your other half can save a relationship:p
Question, just how bad would it be at this stage of training to be going on nights out and drinking alcohol??? Seem to have a load of work nights out, hen party / wedding coming up over next 6 weeks....If I don't go overboard and leave any runs till at least next evening will it have much impact?0 -

Just in from an 8 mile run and had to walk the last mile and a half as a shooting pain up the front of my shin wrapping around my leg up to my hip. :eek: No idea what it was tried to run it off and funnily enough it wasn't as bad running as it was walking but sweet jebus did it throb when I stopped. :mad:
Guess I'll be shelling out for that physio after all hopefully nothing to serious seems to have subsided a bit thanks to my good friend difene gel. Rest up now and arrange an appt.

Ouch. Hope it turns out to be nothing too serious, Leo.
Thanks man hoping it's just a strain doesn't feel to bad at the min but seriously annoying non the less. I'm gonna blame the good weather not being used to that big shiney hot thing in the sky I heard rumour they call it the sun. 0 -

Mmm, might try planning ahead and re-arranging my runs over next few weeks so. Luckily wedding on a step back week but still, 12 miles might be a struggle after a night of drinking and dancing... Thanks 0 -
