Nice one mate, I'll get on that, I'm guessing I can get the Economist from work anywho, I'll have a mooch. Ta

It's a matter of opinion really AVFC POB. Hitler was fairly right, as was Thatcher.

Okay, I'm with ya. Where can I learn more on the Economy (with very little to go off to begin)? Thank you

Economic Left/Right: -2.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.08 Right by the Dalai Lama, which is nice My knowledge of politics and all that is pretty short, so this a genuine question.... Neo-Liberalism, what the hell is that? I know a little bit about Communism from a Polish friend, but what's the other side of the coin? Is it to say people can earn what they want, when they want, how they want, and if they earn nothing, **** 'em?

The last Mika gig? :wink: POTY!

Me too. Listen to Mooney and D1 though DDID, they know their shit.

Muhahahaha!

Another 5k this morning with D1, bloody suffering for the first few laps, but I haven't stopped all week including playing football yesterday morning for 90minutes. It's not getting much easier on the lungs or legs with each run, but I'm managing to push further, less stopping, less walking, and the recovery period seems to be almost halving every time. It's good man, loving it. A quick question for you serious runners, how do you eat for a run? Sometimes I run in the evening, I tend to have something on toast about 4/5ish and run at about 6.30, is that the best way to do it? Should I be looking at carbs or protein too? Thanks

Excellent writeup Mr Bland, thank you for that.

Bad result against a team that plays horrible football, typical Alladyce rubbish. But only the second defeat this season. I'm not too disappointed, we got a long way to go yet. MON has made mistakes, but he's also took 3 points from every game apart from Wigan and today. I'm not crying like most.

Shite

You're a handsome boy too?

You want close up? So close up you can't even see your face babycakes x

Keep it Mooney, I knew you'd enjoy running, I bet you're glad you listened to me in the first place now aren't you?

Yeah, i thought about that at the time I posted it, but if he wants to get a semi over a fatlad with a ginger beard let him, little gayer.

God shes fit. I would.

Mr and Mrs Shimmy. I'm the one with the beard.

And another 2.81miles tonight on my own, tried to do the interval training for the first half. It went as follows.... Jog, SPRINT, walk and pant quite a lot, SPRINT, walk and pant quite a lot, SPRINT FOR A BIT, lots of walking and panting (in 30 second intervals). When I realised this wasn't working for me (after about half a mile) i decided to try and concentrate on a steady pace, few hills and all that. Difficult tonight (I'd been Rock Climbing for two hours before, so I was pretty spent when I left) but it was ace again. Took a turning down the canal and it was pretty cool, still water, very few folks about, flat and very few potholes, twas good yes. Think it was about 40 minutes tonight.

Got me some Asics, apparently I roll slightly to the left off my right foot or something (that bitch telling me how I roll, I KNOW how I roll). Got her to knock a tenner off the price too with a little bit of charm, I think she fancied me in truth, so got em for 60notes, mint. Went out in them tonight, first time, with the running tutor D1 (legend, the man is a legend), did 6.161km well chuffed by that, well chuffed, did it in about 45-50 minutes I think, not sure on time, have to check with D1, but not bothered by time, it was an awesome run. Big ups to D1 for taking me under his running wing!

Orange because of my dutch roots.

Haha, Wren you're a legend my boy.

I've clocked Wednesdays run and each lap was 0.48miles, so I think it was probably more than 4k. Going to get some trainers Wednesday, any advice or just go for what is recommended? Ta.

Water tonight, nearly 4 weeks sober woooooooooooohooooooooooooo

I wouldn't mind actually, hmmmm, leave it with me

Ah, the sound of a penny dropping. I spent years thinking I preferred to run alone. Then I joined a running club, and improved leaps and bounds. Did nine miles last Tuesday with the club - speedwork and steep hills included, and it flew by - we were 5.5 minute miling on some of the downhill bits, too. I would never work that hard on my own. I'm really looking forward to the B'ham Half, now. Hope those of you not running it will come down to give us a shout. When is it? Yeah, running with someone else aswell gave the competitive edge, not racing, but on the last uphill on the last circuit there was twice as much determination to make it as not to let myself nor Si down, it was a self-imposed psychological battle that I wasn't going to lose! Can't wait to go again.
