What have I done this time ! ! !

[Derekthefox]

Well whatever it is called, I think manky is a more apt description !  ;D

Derekthefox :D

[Derekthefox]

[Delilah]

Everybody thinks they ve got manky feet !!!!

[Derekthefox]

Perhaps, Delilah, but if you saw the state of mine, you would agree  ;D

Derekthefox :D

[Heldi]

uuuuurgh!  this to me is like reading a horror story...I really don't like feet..I'm going to throw up !

[Derekthefox]

Ok Heldi, quick now, steer it away from feet ! ! !

Derekthefox :D

[Heldi]

I like shoes though !

[Heldi]

and I suppose if I ddn't have feet I wouldn't have so many pairs of spiffing shoes...

[Derekthefox]

Awww you're doing my head in now ! ! !

The topic is still on feet !

Derekthefox :D

[Heldi]

Hats ?

[Derekthefox]

yes, well the weather is getting cooler, so I will need gloves and a woolly hat, also useful for my skating lessons, and eventually skiing lessons too.

I already have one of those lovely fleecy hats with the massive ear flaps, but its not really suitable for running in! ! !

Derekthefox :D

[Heldi]

I think you'd suit a deerstalker.

[Derekthefox]

I used to have one, no idea where it went to ... that is not suitable for running in either ...  ;D

Derekthefox :D

[Heldi]

You probably left it on the Enterprise

[Derekthefox]

I can just see the promotions for this season's spectacular -

Star Trek on Ice ... 

;D ;D ;D

Derekthefox :D

Lo Mr Fox...must say, once a runner, always a runner.  Don't you just love the energy it gives you (even if it's only for 1/2 hour after a run, before you pass out).  Are you doing the diet bit too?   Eating lots of loverly potatoes.  I wonder how hard it is to grow oats?  Not something I've seen on a lottie :-)

I think you're doing a great thing, for you and your boy, and I'll think of you while Im pounding the pavements of an evening (no matter how loverly it is when you actually do it, morning running is too much of an effort for me).

;D

[Derekthefox]

I must admit, I get a thrill from going out on a 10 or 15 mile run, then coming back and just carrying on ... I am not on any particular diet now - except for the seefood thing - see food and eat it. My appetite is embarrassing now, I just demolish food. And I have a slim waist again! i am a grain person, rather than potatoes, I love bread and pasta ...

I run in the evenings for practical reasons, but I would prefer to do mornings if I had the time ... it is a magical time ...

Derekthefox :D

[Treacletop]

Hmm.. maybe an earlier night would allow more time in the morning Derek!!

;D
;D
;D

[Derekthefox]

Well I am not exactly the best person to pass comment there now am I?

Derekthefox :D

[Treacletop]

I was in bed nice and early and still don't have the energy to get up in the morning!!!  :-[

[Derekthefox]

Perhaps you're just not a morning person then ...  :)

Anyway, I have just returned from my 10m, and have broken my initial target time of 80 mins. I could now run a 1h45m half marathon. A little celebration is in order, a few beers in the chatroom tonight I think.

Derekthefox :D
