First 1/2 Marathon in over a year and managed a 1:47 ish time.

WELL under my 2 hour target and a bit surprising given my almost entire lack of long training runs.

I'll see if I can walk in the morning before I'm totally happy but right now it's looking good for my 16 mile torture session (aka the Southside Six) next month.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So pleased you were under your target time, well done.

Decided to get the living room all done for Christmas :) only problem is that I would like to move the tivo box to the other side of room but the problem is I do not have enough cable. My question is can we do this ourselves or would it be better to get VM in to do it?

Did you have a large 'I voted No' sticker on your back? :D

The excitement on Drew's face today when I gave him the deposit for the China 2016 tour as he did not know what his father and I had decided. He has been told that this will be the only school trip he will get. We felt this was a trip of a lifetime for him to have a truly educational and culture experience. I just wish they took the parents LOL as I will never experience the great wall of China, walking through the streets or the Shanghai night boat. The downside is no holiday's for us for the next two years. When I was at school, our school trips if we were lucky was to Stirling Castle or Edinburgh Castle.

Nice work :tu:

Too many people today seem unwilling to make sacrifices for their children and I'm sure your lad will never forget the amazing experience you've given him the opportunity to be a part of.

I love that series too. I love to see how Ed China diagnoses and fixes all those problems.

Last full day down in Cornwall and the sun's still shining. Couldn't have asked for a better spell of weather considering the time of year Going back home tomorrow, the OH is getting a bit lonesome. I'll have to make it up to him.;)

There's still a few items on his "i-toy" list I need to get.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What a fantastic experience you have gifted to Drew. As Osem says, I too am sure Drew will never forget such an amazing trip and it takes special parents to make such a sacrifice in order to enrich their child's life. :tu:

My parents sent me to Paris when I was just 11 and to this day I remember the feeling of awe I had when I stood on the uppermost observation platform of the Eiffel Tower looking out over all those places I had only seen in books prior to the trip. Nor will I forget the feeling of sheer terror I felt climbing back down the spiral staircase then those endless steps to ground level. :D
