Babylon sister Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Morning all glorious day here too ToS, 4 days in a row!!!! I watched the Prince stuff too last night and it took me back to some great times. Life is so short! After having 13 teeth removed 2 weeks ago my wee dog has been hopping along all week with a very sore leg, she's really having a rotten time of it at the moment and she is milking it for all its worth its mot not been a great week for my bro in law, after opting out of chemo last week they haven't been able to do it this week as his bloods weren't right. Here's hoping they get back on it this week coming. Ben I hope you have the most amazing day tomorrow, don't forget the zinc oxide tape for your feet and make use of the therapists on the route, they'll look after your hip for you. Keep hydrated and enjoy the fab folk you meet along the way Enjoy the sunshine everyone xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just a quick pop in to say thank you (again!) to everyone who is sending me their positive run vibes - Mazzy, blue6field, Swedge, Genie, Babs, Brunette and all. Feel free not to have to track me, but find out afterwards!! No, really...that might be better!!! Just killing a bit of time, waiting for Mrs Ben and Child 2 before heading down to mooch around the ExCel, meet the Parkinson's UK team, buy a new pair of shoes to run in tomorrow** - you know, runner's stuff... Ben **this is, obviously, a little trick for the non-runners out there*** ***I bought them yesterday! **** ****this is also a lie, natch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well wishes to your B.I.L and your pooch x Aw thanks CG, it could be a lot worse, BIL isn't motivated to help himself and that gets a bit frustrating at times. I'm sure Molly will be better in a couple of days she's just very sorry for herself at the moment until there's a treat on offer then she can sprint across the room on three legs faster than Usain Bolt lol .

Brunette Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm back in the countryside for the weekend with our 5 mad spaniels and new (even madder) puppy... trainers on (Ben inspired!!) for a nice run (jog/walk) and then loads of wine to cure last night's hangover with the hare of the dog or the hair of the dog or whatever it's supposed to be!!! Hope your evening is as sunny as this one... almost BBQ weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility of Solitude Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just watched Glen Campbell with Alzheimer's performing Dualling Banjos with his daughter on Sky Arts. It was just magnificent and very emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I gymmed yesterday, and had no booze last night, therefore am allowed some tonight I have decided to stay home rather than go to the last night of our local alt club, where I spent most of my youth. I'm sad it's closing, but I'm still friends with everyone and really, that's what it was always about for me- the people, not the place. So I'm watching old Spooks on tv and drinking ale out of a can (I have no shame). I have made a note of your number, Ben! Will track from the comfort of my sofa! Oh and I spent the afternoon making two stuffed whales for friends new babies, got. A little bit to finish tomorrow then I might post a pic of I can work out how. Weather has been sunny but chilly, we're getting there folks! Keep up the sacrifices and praises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish hick Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 been ansum down here but a bit chilly in the wind. I went for a bike ride earlier and did 23.7 miles Then thought loads off nutters are running that distance tomorrow (today now!) - madness!! And also realised the elite runners and lots of not quite elite ones will do it quicker than I cycled it wtf!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyfairy! Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'm working all night tonight babysitting a release - been up all day and now struggling to stay awake all night (with no alcohol) So far whilst waiting for 'things to happen' I've ordered a hollogram croc bum bag and a hologram sweatshirt .... am feeling the sparkel this year. Now just drooling over a pair of mermaid leggings ! Good luck Ben xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
