I spy with my little eye...
.... something beginning with B!
I seem to have a glut of entries into races beginning with B. This weekend its the Belgrave Bolt, then in a couple of weeks its the Burnham Beeches HM, and then *gulp* Berlin! And I got all of my race numbers in the past week. Strange indeed.
I got a comment from WTS on my last post that really got me thinking. About "time on my feet". I hadn't really worried about that to be honest, was more panicky about the miles themselves. The reason I wasn't worried? Trailwalker of course. I know that I can keep going for 30hrs - even when I have giant blisters on my feet and pain in my hips & knees. Even when I'm finding internal places far darker than the night I'm walking through, and walking along by myself quietly crying. I know I can do that. Question is - is time on feet walking different to TOF running? I really don't know - answers on a postcard please.
You remember how I was having a little moan about how stuffy and humid my run on Wednesday was? Well my prayers were answered
and yesterday as I headed out for running club, the heavens opened and it was TORRENTIAL. When I posted about the upcoming cross country season, I had comments suggesting that I was a little premature. Well the state of my trainers after yesterday's jaunt would beg to differ lol 
Yuck! It was a really good run though - lots and lots of fun. Did 8.3k in just under an hour.
Busy day at the office today - including a fun trip up to Londinium this afternoon. Thankfully meeting will finish too late to head back to the office, so I shall be having dinner with my sister - cooked by my lovely brother in law - his world reknowned chilli no less. Might have to take some of Murdoch's medicine after 
Wishing you all a lovely weekend - and a safe flight for Shazz xx

TISM 'OMG you're not going to eat a 'boiled egg'???? As to 'time on feet', my vote would be for YES - the gait might be different, but the muscle groups have been working for stamina and energy efficiency. But do they have 'cake stations' on these races?? (They did in Athens - really...lol) In keeping with the theme - have you started training on Battenburg?? or is it Belgian Buns....' added 7th Aug 2009
