[aliboo70 in reply to BoPeep9009]

Thanks! pleased with the birthday medal think he will like that!! Hope he logs in!

[BoPeep9009 Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

He will and he will

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to BoPeep9009]

Thank youuuu, BP; it's greatly appreciated, thank you!

I celebrated with a 5 mile run this morning. How things change.

[BoPeep9009 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Hey B'day Boy!

The perfect distance for fun without trauma!!!

Have a super dooper day and maybe be just a little bit bad??? An extra square of chocolate or an extra fig perhaps??? More likely you'll pop out later and treat yourself to some steps to pound up

So long as you have a great day for YOU!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to BoPeep9009]

"the perfect distance for fun without trauma"... That cracked me up! 5 miles is my favourite distance by far and I was looking for an adequate way to sum it up. That's it right there; I'm borrowing that!

Steps tomorrow! Though I'll run up a set later as a treat.

I'm going to be naughty today and have a slice or two of chocolate banana bread, with chocolate icing. So very naughty. *looks guiltily in several directions*

Thanks once more, BP!

Hope your birthday was fab

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to spoonierunning]

Thanks Spoonie, it was really nice!

I'm glad you're here. I've been hoping to bump into you. I was randomly browsing the site while bored the other night and found something which made me smile. healthunlocked.com/start Scroll down the page, about halfway. Under the heading "great for your organization" and the panel to the left., which you can't really miss as it's our online home. Anyway, look whose post is featured on the panel!

[spoonierunning Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Lol fame at last

I was hoping to write up my first proper after work run, but I've been really tired so I will try to make time at the weekend. I miss being able to spend so much time on the forum, I feel like I am missing out on things, important thing, fun things.

Fingers crossed money should magically appear in my bank tomorrow and we all know what means

Happy running

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

*blushes*

Thank you, Ali! What a fine birthday medal that is; you remembered my love of shiny shiny medalry!

Funny enough, one of my presents was indeed a medal hanger; a bloody great big thing it is an' all!

Thank you again, a birthday thread, how very nice!

[aliboo70 in reply to Miles_Yonder]

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

[katty4 Graduate]

Happy Birthday!!! That cake sounds lush. Have a great day. Sure you'll have plenty of fun filling that mahooosive medal hanger.

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to katty4]

Thank you, Katty! Yes, I will; can't have a sparse medal hanger now, can we?!

[folkieboater Graduate]

Happy Birthday MY. Have a cracking day. Is there already another medal hanger on the list for Father Christmas?

[runningnearbeirut Graduate in reply to folkieboater]

Ha ha - he has signed up for rather a lot of races next year, hasn't he...!

Happy birthday M_Y. Guess you're spending it slightly differently from last year

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to runningnearbeirut]

Thank you, RNB! Yes, last year I was unfit and unhealthy and stuffed myself a bit too much, and had a hangover; not this year!

And yes, all going to plan, there will be many a shiny shiny medal next year!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to folkieboater]

Thank you, Folkie! From Father Christmas I want some mechanical, flexible legs that never get injured!

[folkieboater Graduate]

FCC are my initials...the kids at school used to come up with some interesting (and often cruel) versions of that, but Fat Chocolate Cake was never one of them...I quite like that I'll never eat a slice without thinking it ever again.

[Hidden]

Happy birfday mate! Have a great day...

If we put the cake at the top of those stairs in Sheffield you'll be the first one to it to blow out the candles anyway!

Have a good 'un!

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, Aus! It was a nice day.

Cakes on stairs, that sounds like quite the reward!

[AncientMum Graduate]

Great thread Ali

Happy Happy Birthday Sweetie. Have a wonderful cake-fuelled day filled with lots of good things, including stairs since you love them so much xxx

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thank you, GM! No stairs yesterday, sadly, but I did get my nice 5 mile birthday run in the morning!

Thanks once again! xxx

[kickibro Graduate]

happy birthday! hope you are having a wonderful day xxx

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to kickibro]

Thank you, Kicki! It was a nice day; flew by though. Don't know where the time went! xxx

[Lovefood1984 Graduate]

Happy Birthday I'm making cakes tonight to raise money for my GNR effort so I'll dedicate to you

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Lovefood1984]

Thank you, LF! How did the cake-making effort go? Thank you kindly for the dedication of cakery! Do you have a JustGiving page or anything?

Three days to go for you!

[Lovefood1984 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Cake making complete and I've managed not to eat them all (yet!) but small bit of sampling went on I have a Virgin Money page uk.virginmoneygiving.com/La... starting to get really nervous now, doesn't help I don't like crowds! On the plus side a colleague managed to convince my fiancé not to cycle over to see me but to bring the car so at least I get chauffeured home (probs stuck in loads of traffic) vs. having to join the massive queues for the metro or ferry (said colleague has a husband that works for the metro and the bad news is they are short of drivers for Sunday, inside info!) not been on Garmin at all, been far too busy hope your runs are still going well and you had a nice few days off

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Lovefood1984]

Well, of course you had to sample them, to make sure they were tasty and fit for consumption; how ever would you know otherwise?!

Excellent; donation made. It's brilliant, what you're doing. I know, as I'm sure we all do here, just how much effort is involved in it and how much you've put yourself through for it. I also admire anyone who can raise money for charity. I haven't for any of my races (though I have made donations myself to the official charities for each race) because, quite honestly, I hate asking people for money (though have no problem with others asking me for sponsorship!) and I'm doing that many races that people would get sick of me, (!) but for my HM in February and the M next year I think I'll do what you've done - set up a fundraising page and gently raise sponsorship that way, for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, rather than going on an all-out aggressive fundraising drive!

So glad to hear your fiancé will be there and will be driving you back! I imagine the traffic will be horrific but at least you'll be able to relax in the car and won't have to faff with public transport.

My runs are going well, thank you, I think! I say that as I got new shoes last week and I'm still getting used to them, slowly! Just got in from a 4Ker (was going to be a 3.5K, gentle, but I went a bit crazy and through a stair rep in and a bit of speed so it wasn't that gentle!) and am aiming for a long run tomorrow but will have to see how mt calves and feet are interacting with the new shoes. I'll do a long run but how long it will actually be I'm as yet unsure.

Try not to be nervous, you'll do soooooo well on Sunday!

[Lovefood1984 Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

Thanks for the donation! I keep getting shocks whenever I see how much people have donated, seat fallen off again I'm like you I hate asking but you've seen the total on my page, that was from 2 posts on Facebook and 1 work email it doesn't need to be aggressive and today is cake day and my parents still need to put theirs in once they are back off holiday (unfortunately my mum's going to miss the run but on the flip side she's on holiday enjoying what quality she has now so I don't begrudge her ) should have some time tonight so I'll be getting over to Garmin and seeing how far your new shoes took you look out for me on the TV, I'll be hot on Mo's shoes

[Treemouse Graduate]

Yes! Happy birthday old chap!

I hope you have a wonderful day, and that you treated yourself to a new marathon outfit!

Biggest hugs x

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Treemouse]

MOUSEY!!!!!!!

Dear God, hello there, stranger! How in the name of goodness are you?! Nice to see you again!

And thank you; great big hugs for you too. No marathon outfit but I plan on getting a new long sleeved tech top on Saturday, ready for autumn! x

[emkeenan Graduate]

Hoppy birfday, big kiss from Curly xx

[Miles_Yonder Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, Curly! Oh, a birthday kiss; I am honoured! xx

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

I was so good, though I did have an extra bit of dark chocolate, and some malt loaf! Going to SD on Saturday to get a nice new long sleeved running top, for my birthday.

I did nip into an Asda today and was tempted by a Hello Kitty cake I saw!

Thank you, Kitty!
