Sunday 24th January

Rocket cried off cos she is still knarked about the Drifter, no not really her husband was playing golf! So it was Me (Shalmon Mo Fo), Emily (emalaaaaaaar) and Toni (Boss).

Started off at 8.15 am and it wasn't raining - yippee! Getting a bit bored of the same old route and hills so we did it in reverse - no not running backwards - you know what I bloody mean! Although that is a fantastic idea?? Maybe not then.

It was a relatively good run we all felt ok although Em had her headphones on at points and randomly sang out loud - I tell you her music mix is crap I will have to sort that out she is not down with the kids, I bet she has bloody fleetwood Mac on her ipod too. I tell you now if she sang that out loud she might be running backwards! Sorry you know what I am like about the old Fleetwood but it getting easier day by day and I attend weekly meetings at the A.F.A (Anti Fleetwood Anonymous) where we hug and stick pins in Mick Fleetwood voodoo dolls..............sorry perhaps I won't go on.

Yeah anyway so we get on into shefford and then up the hill from Tesco 24, I nearly wee myself(ok due to pelvic floor and absence of it is not that difficult I know), at the fact that I managed to run that bloody hill without stopping. Em did really well and really proud of the way she ran actually and that's all your getting on the niceties Em, abuse from now on.

We go on through to Shillington ok and I am in actual amazement that Toni has not asked to go to the toilet and wondered if she had in fact had extensive colonic the day before or whether she had corked her arse ( I wasn't going to look no!) After about 15 mins we lost sight of Emily then had a phonecall that she had pulled something, she said she saw 'a muscle bound bloke on a bike go by?................. oh no sorry I remember now the reception was bad, she had pulled a muscle in her thigh!! Ian (mankini wearing husband) was going to pick her up. Bless her she did well though.

So just the boss and me left and then she was looking for a bush at the top of the hill, yes for her usual pony in the woods! She cracks me up she goes deep into the undergrowth but is wearing a flourescent jacket! So there is me standing there in a flourescent jacket too and her glowing in her bush (no the bush bush - stop it!!!) Might aswell have a sign up saying 'Hello yes my friend is doing a shit in a bush!!'

Oh yeah and to add insult to injury my painters and decorators decide to pay me a visit too- never ran home so quick. I tell you it all happens on our runs, we live on the edge.

Ran 10.6 miles, will update time need to take off extra for injury and pooing though!

Next Sat maybe into Hitchin 12/13 miler- running with a commode, ice pack and tenner ladies so we should be covered!?

Thurday 21st Jan 8pm
Swish party!

Thanks to everyone again for coming it was great. Had a really good night I think there were about 16/17 people there. I will download a video that Toni/Deb did of what we got up to...I think its clean although I am being told Toni (Boss) drank quite a bit!

It did take a while for people to get the gist of the evening that it was a 'Swishing' event and not a'Swinging' one although saying that I did come across a pvc mankini in the size 14 section....it must have been Emily's or Ians(her husband) or both!!??

In total we raised £125.00 with entrance fee and raffle so job well done.

Thanks to Toni for the lovely home-made bread and pate and your house, thanks Karen for nibbles etc and thanks Em for the cheese and I don't mean just the humour!!

Note to Karen: That gimp mask is actually medium and not large like you told me? I can't eat my sandwiches in it. So that's my only disappointment about the evening. Chem xx

Saturday 16th Jan

9.5 miles

OMG! Well we met at 8.15 am and it was light rain which I thought we could cope with no problem, even after having to roll my eye bags up and tuck them into my sockets for being up that early in the morning! Putting on cold lycra at that time in the morning doesn't sit with me that well either but...... anyway I digress.
Yes we start running and it really starts bloody raining, oh and not just any rain the horizontal kind and with the wind too we were really enjoying ourselves NOT!
After about 7 miles I did lose the will to live however Toni (Boss) and Karen (Rocket) did very well.
Toni did her usual, acosting people to use their toilet! She went in to the garage in Shefford and asked a nice old chap if she could possibly use his toilet - I think the guy was so shocked at her 'wet-rat like with steamed up glasses look' that he relented and then threw his arms up in the air and said 'Take anything you want!' which was surprising. She didn't even take him up on the offer to get a couple of drifters for me and Rocket!

Anyway nearly home I was trying to think about the fact that there could be worse senarios like,
getting stuck in a lift with Fleetwood Mac being piped through on a loop or tweezering out my eyeballs! With, well, wet everything we finish running - (Toni and me together as Rocket ran off with the hump about the drifter) .

Did 14.36 Km 9.5 Miles in 117 mins
You go girls!!

Did a brainstorming session last night about how we can get some money raised for our charities!
Doing a Swish party next Thurs 21st Jan. Very in to go 'Swishing' now, not to be confused with 'Swinging' though. This is a party where you take 3 outfits that you no longer wear and hang it on a rail and then there is a'free for all' where you can pick up other peoples stuff that they no longer want! Charging £5 a head with food included!

Doing 11 miler Sat morning hope this blimmin snow goes!
