A couple of beers for me tonight.

I met a guy offshore who was called fingers... One of his hands only had half an index finger and his thumb!

Town

I'm the same. When I started training for the GSR after Men's Health 10k in June, I noticed a bit of a drop in pace... But I'm very consistent with an 8min/mile.

I'd quite fancy going to see the Dallas Cowboys

I'm having a selection of Oktobefestbiers tonight! Both really good!

I completed 6.25km in 30mins 33secs this morning. First run since the GSR. It went quite well_ looking forward to seeing what I can do over winter as I usually just give up over the cold months.

I'm contemplating entering the Movember 10k at Glasgow Green.

Could be interesting...

Fosters

It's really good in a pint. One of my favourites!

Gun

My drink for the night. Orkney Best by Highland Brewing Company.

Thanks!

Not long back from the half marathon. Completed it in 1hr 44mins 47secs (by my stop watch). Quite pleased that, felt I paced myself well.

I was hoping to get a wee 3k run in this morning, but my knee was hurting a bit when I woke up this morning, so just left it. So that's me done until the 1/2 marathon.

Tonight I've had... Old Tom by Robinsons. A strong ale at 8.5%. You can taste the strength, but it grows on you. Quite nice. Also... Löwenbräu Helles. Really nice beer from Munich. Not the best on (I prefer Paulaner and Hofbräu), but no par with Augustiner.

There are plenty of pubs like in deep selling probably more beers which are just as good. They just aren't as "arty farty".

Ran my last longish run before the half marathon this morning. 10k in just under 49mins. I'll do a couple of 5k's this week, but nothing massive, just let my muscles recover a bit after a lot of running recently.

Yeah, definitely. Before I started running this year in earnest, I really struggled to get any fun out of it. But now I'm loving it and I feel great too. Lost probably a stone in weight, and trimmed down quite a bit.

I run without music. I'm too paranoid about running out in front of a car I can't hear!!n But, I like the rhythmic sound of my feet. Means I can tell if my legs are struggling, even if I'm feeling fine!

Been drinking a few beers this afternoon. Affligem Blond Jever Pilsner Timothy Taylor Landlord Inveralmond Ossian Hofbräu Oktoberfest Spaten Oktoberfest All really good.

I did the half marathon distance this morning. Never got a good sleep last night, and it was hard going today. My calves are acheing a bit now! Though I did it in 1hr 49mins 29secs.

I'm doing a practise half marathon tomorrow morning.

Done 15km in 1hr 19mins. Some of the worst conditions I've run in. The wind and rain was terrible. My jacket is water resistant and generally quite good for some light spitting, but not that sort of rain. I'll need to buy a new waterproof. Anyone got any suggestions?
