Morning all
After my great run on Wednesday my right ankle was a little painful. My previous injury was to my left so I was not too concerned. On Thursday morning however it had blown up like a balloon and very painful. Ice, ibuprofen and rest were required.
Today it is still a little sore so I will have to skip the long run this morning and hope that by Monday I am fit enough to get out there again. Later today Mrs LB and I are heading up north to visit the Apples. Alex, Sarah, Baby Enid and the even more recent addition Baby Emily.
I am still feeling pretty good about things despite the recent set back. Hopefully this time next weekend I will have reached the 300 mile mark!
Till then have a great weekend

Morning all
After yesterday's successful fitness test it was back to the grindstone for Lardy Boy. I decided to carry on where I finished off last week, by doing exactly the same run as last Tuesday. I was a bit 1 paced and a couple of minutes slower than last time but I wasn't really going for it to be honest. I am icing the ankle as I type, although I felt no pain whilst running so hopefully this will be a precaution only.
I let my mind wander a bit this morning mainly because I was just enjoying the run rather than pushing myself too much. I also spent most of my run thinking about work etc so not much to report from the run itself... However what I did think about in no particular order and no editing was......
For my longer runs at the weekend I would appreciate a subject to get me thinking, I could then report back with my well thought out answers / conclusions.... Suggestions ahead of Saturday's long run would be appreciated.
A quick fundraising update. I am approaching £2k which is great but I am desperate to reach at least £3k. Any other fundraising suggestions would be much appreciated. To clarify on the Lardy Meal, the current bid is £150 for 6 people. The 'prize' is a meal cooked by yours truly at a house of your choice. You have til the end of the month to beat this bid.
Plan is for another run tomorrow, rest day Friday and a 13 mile run on Saturday.
Til then

- Will Arsene Wenger ever spend more than £5M on a player over the age of 20. No
- Do I buy the Telegraph only for the Sport and Crossword? Yes
- Am I becoming more Liberal in my old age? Yes
- Would I vote Tory in a General Election tomorrow? For the first time ever no
- Who WOULD I vote for then? I have no bloody idea
- Do I definitely not believe in God? After about 2 miles of deep thought (well deep for me anyway) I concluded on no
- Is it possible to have an ice bath without getting certain important things very cold
Riveting stuff hey!
It did get me thinking about a suggestion made by my old mate, Mat 'Tank 1' McCarthy, pictured below crossing the finishing line with a very less lardy Lardy Boy in 1989... (Check out the Freddy Flintstone boxers...

Blimey that was bloody hard this morning. Once again I failed with the major principles of the 6 P's (Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance), and Kevin Pietersen was the main issue. The prospect of him twatting the Aussies into next week was too good to miss so I was up till 2am laughing my head off.
I overtook someone again this morning but have disallowed the overtake so the score remains LB 2 The Rest of the World 1. The reason? The lady I overtook was jogging along and chatting on her phone, whereas yours truly was barely able to breathe....
Just a reminder for anyone who has not read the blog written last week describing living with CDC to please click this link to do so. This is my main motivation for not only doing the run but also writing this blog.
Congrats to Mr Alexander Brooks who correctly guessed yesterday's album, it was a bit of a simple one for old mates.... Today's is a classic and in my Top 5 albums of all time for what its worth.
Next week's running opportunities will be fairly limited however next weekend the plan is to do my peak pre Christmas run of 12 miles, before I spend most of the festive period undoing all my good work so far by overeating and drinking too much for a few weeks....
