Wet Recovery Sunday Medium/Long Run.

With very heavy legs i made my way down to the park later then normal this morning to find the guys already into the session as i stood warming up. J -Fen was soon on the scene waiting to run for the morning with Marshmallow Man Clyde, had  a quick chat to him before joining HuRTS #1 Girl Laura, Kate (strider's winner from yesterday) Elvis Costello, Mikey Race and Ronan and joined them for a few 9 minute efforts they were doing about 4.27 pace, Met up with a flying Kanser then who was looking for help doing the same 9 minute efforts (at a faster pace) so helped him out with his fastest one for the morning running at 3.43 pace - realised towards the end of the rep it was to fast for me for today (anyway) after the last 24 hours and that i didn't need to be doing this so left him to finish the last one by himself, as i continued on at a more sensible pace. Not a massive session k wise for the morning - All up 19ks in 80 odd Min's averaging 4.35s, but happy with the mornings work
Saw Clyde and J-Fen on each lap, and i don't know what it is with 'The Marshmallow Man' but he seems to want to call out to me and give me some abuse each time around, and this morning was no exception - One of the quips as he went by was :
Clyde, 'Hey - Timmy, you want to get your running  under control'
Timmy 'Yes i know and you want to get your diet under control as well'
and so it went on...........
Many of you wont know the famous English Comedy duo from the 80s - but there was a couple on called 'Little and Large, and watching J-Fen and Clyde run by brought back some memories for me. I'll let you guess who's who :)

Once done it was back to the House of Kanes for the Breakfast (first time in weeks to be honest) - BUT there were to be NO Bacon and Eggs today, more of a 'Bertie Bassets (Allsorts ) going on, Banana Breads, Raisin Bread, and the much loved Cumberland Pork Sausages not to mention the cups of teas.
Got a bit worried when Kanser then brought out all this Compression Gear that he picked up at  Aldi Shops (El Cheapo) , if that wasn't bad enough he then tells me the Banana bread came from there, as did the Raisin Bread, Cumberland Sausages, and Tea Bags...........the mans gone Aldi Mad, Think he even picked his kids up in there, and think he's looking for a new job working there.

Out this afternoon for the Big one of the year, the annual English Premiership Tipping Comp Presentation with the English and Irish Lads, Lucky enough to win the Wobbly Head Trophy we have as well as the much sought after  'Green Jacket' (Ala the Golf ) we don to the winner each year.
.........And the 2011-2012 winner is .....'Young Timmy Lindop'......... nice
Pictures will be posted tomorrow

Have a great Sunday
Cheers

    I expect the Green Jacket will be much like David Byrne/Talking Heads on you young fella!
