Been absent for a few weeks - nothing major - just busy!! Kids taken up my time with exams and all their extra -curricula stuff - work v stressy and its end of year- so everyone v grumpy trying to get contracts and finance sorted. And I and a few blissful days in Spain. I am not quite on target with my runs - but I have managed some v hilly runs.
Been to gym this morn and TA -Dah- tomorrow is my final longest run. having been dreading the long runs each week (like an albatross sitting on my back)- I am now quite excited to be doing the last one. In celebration - I have been updating my music - Thin Lizzy, Talking Heads, Stones- couple of more modern ones kings of leon, Voodoo child and some Salsa.
18 miles tomorrow - which me luck

Crikey me that sounds a hell of a distance! You must be really improving your local knowledge! I bet there's not a street, footpath or trail you don't know about! I was running to Voodoo Child yesterday but I didn't get on too well with it, nor Along the Watchtower. I love both of them but just not to run to. I did like the instrumental bit in the middle of Ram Jam's Black Betty. That made me shift it.
Good luck with the 18 miler!! You are already a winner in our eyes Suzy! Sheesh I'm lost in admiration for you. Stick with it and when you have to dig deep think of us lot urging you on
Oh Marathon queen...you are doing so well....I am so excited for you!!! Blimey thats alot of miles to do tomorrrow ...good luck, and when it gets hard just picture all of us behind you cheering and pushing you on....music sounds fab too
not long now suzybenji my freinds doing his last run on sun before tapering hope its not talking heads road to nowhere had on my ipod and came on whille doing my long run lucky it was at the end. your doing great have a great run tomorrow
By the way I'm doing a v long run home from work... At about 2.30... Wasn't sure if that's when you are running but I thought we could run 'virtually' together and spur each other on?!!
I am off very soon. Rice crisps and banana and then I will be off. Bag packed with lots of goodies and importantly visual aids to get me round. You guys cheering me on--You will be in my thoughts as you have been such a great and consistent supporter.
Good luck with your long run - i will (hopefully) be in the bath - having a long satisfied soak
Go Marathon queen.. I'm right behind you... And you might find my mantra helpful 'push that body punish that body'.. It really helps me... Good luck and you must let us know how it goes...
18 miles? Gor blimey, guvnor!! Good to see you still out there and giving it welly. Best of luck with the 18 miler, you're doing really well in this marathon preparation.
I can't get the thought of malt loaf out of my head now. Picture of lovely plate of the stuff at the finish line. I might run faster for that lot especially if I thought there'd be none left for me if I was last (which I would be by the way) Malt loaf, gotta have it ......
I made some recently from a Googled recipe. Made with real ale, and it is so delicious it should be illegal. I daren't make it again.
