It\u2019s time for a Team JimBob curry night with Jim, manager Marc and myself getting together in Crystal Palace Triangle to discuss plans for 2016 and generally shoot the breeze*. Also the LM bond money was paid today, so no going back now.<\/p>\n
Marc is a Marathon veteran and constant source of encouragement in my running, even though he is a \u2018proper runner\u2019. Put it this way, we both entered his local marathon in October and he had time to go home have a shower, assemble his family and get back to the finish line in plenty of time to cheer Sue and I home.<\/p>\n
Whenever we meet, I take the opportunity to pump him for training hints and tips, well, at least until Jim\u2019s eyes glaze over. On a good night this can take all of three\u00a0minutes.<\/p>\n
That said, it was great evening and we leave with a head full of schemes and plans for the forthcoming year, the many of which will inevitably fall by the wayside, if previous form is anything to go by. Although I appear to have forgotten everything Marc told me even though I wasn\u2019t drinking.<\/p>\n
