Week Two: It’s a marathon not a sprint….

Welcome back Panther fans! 

This week we’ve seen a start to the heroic marathon diet. After extensive research it was found that to run a marathon a man needs much food (roughly three times that of a pregnant lady – it didn’t say the size of lady).

This has led to some empowering portions at lunch time and interesting conversations with the Nice Canteen Lady (NCL). On Thursday, for example, our conversation went something like this:

(Panther#1 boldly walks up to till with standard meal…+ rice…+ 2x bread rolls…+ 2x flora)

Nice Canteen Lady (looks at extra bread rolls, rice and 2x flora): £3.50 please

Panter#1: I’m running a marathon alright!

Clearly all the bases are covered.

In other news Lee started running (don’t know why, we’ve got a blog, dance routine and diet sorted so it should all fall into place anyway). He sprinted 4 miles over 20 minutes. The mans a machine. He once won a bike race which included a voluntary detour up Ditchling Beacon and a visit to the shops because he was ‘embarrassed by winning’. That embarrassment better be conquered by race day because I can see Lee taking home the gold with or without scenic detours.

We also went on our first group run…well we were going to, but it was snowing, plus it was cold and the Eastenders omnibus was on. Panthers don’t like the cold, if we did we would be polar bears.

Now all we need is a picture of us all mocked up in Street Fighter attire…..Thanks Simon for mocking us all up in Street Fighter attire. 


 Big thanks to our first sponsors! Panther paw high five!
