*RANT WARNING*

20 miles in the park this morning and had stashed 2 gels and a bottle of water at the 10 mile point under a bench well hidden....arrive to find the gels opened and used and water poured out....SOUND. Needless to say I cursed the fcuker all the way then, legs were hurting big time when I went over the 2 hours then. Hope the fcuker choked on it!

Aye thanks for that they were lovely  ;)

Joking aside that's a wankish thing to do alright. I usually have the car parked somewhere easy enough so I can stop and get a bottle of water or whatever as I run past.
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Haha...sound laoislad, your lucky day with free gels and then the Pool match!

Just annoying though, petty like..car was on other side of the park! Currently a very sore man watching the rugby, not good to be running that long with no water!

I trained for the marathon without ever taking any water. Then, on actual marathon day, I took sips at the various water station. However when I got to the 21 mile mark, the water was swishing around in my stomach. I'd have been better without it.
Cover me in chocolate and feed me to the lesbians

Ya without practicing in training you probably would have been. You would have been better for it if you had trained with taking some on board though.

Just back from my lunchtime 4k. As I stepped out the first few flakes of snow dropped and it ended up snowing heavily enough for the duration. It was magic! Beat my pb for that route with a nice controlled run. Am making a bit of progress with my pace over the 4-5k distance. Need to up the distances though but am running regularly again after it being a bit hit and miss for a while.
