I can't believe that less than one week after New York I am now getting withdrawl symtoms. I feel like I am just drifting towards humdrum. Okay so the motor racing will provide the adrenalin rush but what about day to day? I need to find a new goal......
And time for the rogues gallery!
Lambsie and I getting to know each otherprior to the PVC party
I have never tried base jumping, a PPL might be useful to fly around the country and next year will see me competing in the car in France...or I could just plan for another marathon in 09?? On the running front I have already entered a 10k on the 30th December with my chum Smiles, entered the league races starting on 13th Jan and wish to nail both the 40min barrier for 10k and improve my 1/2 PB. So plenty to keep me interested I guess.....and there is always the decorating :(
From right to left:
Dan - he who came up with the immortal line at training day; 'do I have to pack my dancing shoes in the UPS bag'? And he did too!
Steph - My e-mail and blogging foyle for the last 12 months. A lovely, lovely lady that I am going to miss - good luck for FLM 08!
Lambsie - Thighs that could crack a walnut and beneath that soft Scottish exterior is so determined it would make your teeth itch. She also has the worlds smallest bladder.
Muppett - Great hands 8), looks stunning at 4:30 in the morning, completely mad and should not be allowed sharp things. Gritty and determined and has everything a boy could wish for - except an address in Aberdeen!! Totally love her :P
Weird bloke with a thing for pain. Either got a stiff arm or has bad under arm odour (under the tree on the left, blue yellow red vest) - Thanks Bethany for your patience - Daddy does love you so.
Thank you all again for your terrific support, humour and team spirit. I will drop in occasionally on those that are competing FLM08, but to the rest, good luck with all that you choose and congratulations on achieveing something special - the finish line in New York!
Love ,
Martin x

Pete 'I suggest the Dewsbury 10K, early Feb - not the most picturesque but it's as flat you'll find anywhere and definitely PB potential - several bloggers will be running - Henrik Skov, Dave 'Ruddy' Rudd, Andy B, Pete Williams, ME ....... and it'd be good to meet, one day Good Luck & Best Wishes in whatever you choose to be successful at' added 10th Nov 2007

Joy_Runner 'Sorry that I didn't get to meet you on race day Martin. Many congratulations! I have no doubt that you'll break 3:30 - although you'll need to train consistently and capitalise on your present fitness. All the best, Simon.' added 10th Nov 2007

Pete 'Yeah, I fancy an overseas event some day - Miami sounds good, or maybe somewhere really exotic. I'm not in a position to commit to anything like that at the moment though, so I'll just plod along with trying to keep a level of fitness and doing a few 10K's and half marathons. To be honest, I get quite a kick out of simply being able to run a 10K without any special preparation, and I'm sorta working towards being able to do the same with a Half - ......simple pleasures ;)' added 18th Nov 2007
