This weeks training started well enough, meeting celebrity Rottingdean runner Jac for a 5 mile run along the coast on Tuesday. All was good in the world. Thursday was not so fun, Saturday – easy peasey, in your face Saturday you are nothing to me. The worst came during the 2 hour Sunday run with Lee where the conversation mainly focused on pain, pain in legs, pain in knees, pain, foot pain, pain pain and more leg pain, back pain, lower leg pain, calve pain, thigh pain, elbow pain, face pain, hair pain.
Lee summed it up well in a moving email explaining his inner thoughts a couple of days afterwards:
‘If running was a genre of music, it would be Celine Dion B-sides. It is the most stupid thing I have ever done. My legs hurt, I have no friends and I am considering giving up training and instead just turning up on marathon day dressed as Keith Richards and washing down half a bottle brandy with a heroic dose of wraps of amphetamines and doing air guitar to street fighting man.’
During this period, experienced marathon panther Simon undertook his own unconventional training, predominantly consisting of ice skating around the Royal Pavilion. See evidence of his majestic balance below (looks painful):
Sponsorship would be appreciated, we only need another 96%. 96% COME ON MONEY FRIENDS.
Those kids need them goal posts and they are not going to build themselves, unless they a have a couple of spare goats which could be used – but the goats would probably walk off and no one likes to argue over whether a high shot was ‘just over’ or ‘in off the bar’, when there is no bar – YOU can stop this from happening. Sponsor us. Give a child in need of a well a goal with a bar.
Thank you.
