wheely mine automatically shows average speed over the whole run, nit current speed. So I think that would be pace wouldn't it? It will also show pace per lap as well if you want.

Wheely 9 min mile is pace. And on mine (the 205) I had to go into the settings to put it on pace as I think it put it onto speed automatically.
How old are your dds and what car does your mil have? Is one of your dds old enough to just have booster seat with no back?

Fingers crossed for you peach!

I'm glad I couldn't enter the ballot, would have been too stressful today if I had!

Mind over matter Wheely, rise above those niggles! Don't know anything about Garmins, but am sure one of our other lovely geeksladies will be along soon to help. Good luck breaking the news to DD2, bless her!

Should be pretty good weather for running on Sunday, for GSR, for Nairobi, maybe not so much. However good luck to Wheely, Squix, and Master, this sunday!

Drno 's dh that should have read.

Also meant to add my ankle is v. Niggly and convinced I am coming down with a cold but assume that's just pre race madness.... At least I hope so.

Thanks for all well wishes . Am getting nervous now.... Thanks squix for local knowledge - I think we've decided that as long as we can squeeze both dds carseats in to MILs car with me in between we'll get the train. But am doubtful so may well need the advice. Just need to summon the courage to break it to dd2 we'll be away for the night...

Well dine to wiifit and demo's dh for getting in the ballot . Neither dh or I did.

Glad mother's visit is going ok rhet.

Am at MILs trying to set up the new garmin - I think I've done it but a couple of quick questions.

Will it automatically show pace/ distance when I start it ? My old one I had to set up to what I wanted to see on the screen

And if I want it to show whether I'm running an 8 or 9 min mile is that pace or speed ? Can never remember .....

Thanks.

Omg monkey, the poor son!!!

We vaguely planned Xmas here on our own this year, given that DD2 will only be a few weeks old then I just didn't want to. We'd have to go up to Scotland to see everyone at some point so much easier to do it while everyone off work (my family is massive) as well as DP off work anyway. Also DP isn't that in to Xmas (I am a little TOO into it for someone my age) so he'd probably end up ordering us a curry instead of doing proper Xmas dinner! This way at least I won't have to make a meal for 10 days!!!

Got back from swimming lesson really late this afternoon with DD having just fallen asleep in pram (5.45), and when I woke her up she had a bit of a tantrum, telling DP to get out of front room etc so I told her she had to go up to her bedroom if she wasn't going to calm down, she did and then fell asleep on bed about 6.15. I went to get her up for dinner about 20 mins later but she said she wanted to sleep so I pulled the duvet over her and switched the light out. Am crossing fingers she will just sleep through but if she doesn't we could be in for a long night! Just had snooze on sofa myself, now must rally to make dinner. Must say it is rather liberating, not doing whole bedtime routine thing!!!

I love spending Christmas with inlaws, we arrive there in the 23rd and leave on the 26th, perfect, they are great host and I am only required to chat eat and drink

sfx that's so funny, when we moved into this house we got a phone call from the previous owner's son about eight weeks later - she hadn't told him she'd moved! Poor boy was really upset.

Congratulations wii! (albeit slightly bitter and envious ones ....).

Rhet I definitely think that now is the time to graciously accept your dm's offer. You will obviously be tremendously disappointed etc etc (!) but take it from me, it will be bliss! We always have a day with the inlaws between Christmas and New Year (deep joy) and my family always come on Boxing Day, but other than that it's just us. And I must admit, we love it that way.

say yes thank her profusely for her thoughtful kindness, then change locks and phone number in case she changes her mind

just got my Olympic rejection :( am surprisingly disappointed to be honest...think we may well go with this once in a lifetime offer :o

Congrats wifit, lucky you, oh and DrNo's DH too!!!! I got rejected too. Boo! Glad one of us got in!

Rhet, accept, accept!!!!!

You must have gone now N4NNY, but in case you are mnetting from there, have a brilliant time, can't wait to hear how it goes!

royal visit going ok, other than my mother's utterly tactless comments to DP in response to her evident discomfort ('well, I never really got to that stage because I was very small with DP' and 'I think you are even bigger with dd2 than with dd1' )...

she is talking about not coming for Christmas - I am not sure how to respond - it would be fab to have Christmas with just us, but I wonder if she will take offence (and I will never be forgiven); DP will kill me if she finds out that the offer was made and I turned it down.

ibby sorry to disappoint, but my surname starts with 'C'...nothing still. Not sure whether this is good or bad

and congratulations to all who got places on the Park Run

hello I am sorry about the rejections, me in my best spaced fashion was not even aware of such events

N4nny good luck and enjoy Iceland

Peach I am sorry about the parental situation, it is a lot to cope with

Rhet how goes the royal visit?

moshi lovely to see you back, is San Fran marathon quite hilly?

I am bound to have missed people I hope everyone is well

good luck Wheely squix M&M and Master I hope things are safe for you there, I heard a segment on Today this morning about the incursion over the border.

oh yes, I did fancy going to see the Tintin film! I forgot that I am he

how exciting about the Olympic park run (and :( for those that didn't get places) -will it be televised for us all to try and spot the MNers and MNOHers?

N4NNY hope you have a fantastic time in Iceland. Very and looking forward to hearing all about it!

M&M is the race going ahead? Hope all is well with you, best of luck if you are running.

Wheely and Squix hope you have a wonderful day, and achieve wonderful times!

Moshi good that you got a new continent sorted out for us. We are still needing someone to cover Asia - any takers?

All this talk of lovely Edinburgh - is anyone looking to do the M/HM/10k next year? Nothing on the race list as yet?? My brother is nudging me to enter. He wants to do a marathon before he gets too "old and creaky" - he's 32 ffs!!

Nothing here either...are those of you who have heard either way relatively high up in alphabet?

Got rejection

Oh I got a No.

still nothing! managed 8k this morning, and heart rate stuff already seems to be helping, running easier, slightly faster, at same heart rate :)

must go

nothing so far here...just checked...will try again

Spoke too soon. My rejection email just arrived.

I have not got a rejection so not sure what that means. The money has been debited from our account for dh though.

Oh well, even if I dont get to run it I will be happy to spectate. Still an amazing opportunity. Need to start thinking about the logisitics now of getting from Yorkshire to the big smoke.......
