HappyG(rrr) May 2018 8:50am, 17 May 2018 28,763 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) You can't do a marathon every day. And even one every 16 weeks would be tough. It's quite a good head to head actually, isn't it?! I gave on Saturday, but forgot to check the time. Was pretty quick tho. They confirmed that left arm is still easier to find a vein, after poking about for a few mins in the right, in vain (see what I did there?! ) Biscuit sittyayshun was poor, because I was last out (waiting for space for a left arm!) and didn't want to hold them up. But as I stood up to go, the nice lady gave me a couple to take away with me! Biscuit count restored. I jus noticed I was 12 weeks and 2 days after last time I gave. That's pretty good timing given that I didn't plan it, I just randomly booked! G

But as your man says in his blogs and books, he's an exceptional, ultra athlete... oh, no, actually he doesn't say that! Most people can't do a marathon a day. 2, 3 or 4 a year would be much more "normal" so similar to blood donation was what I meant. G

Autumnleaves May 2018 3:53pm, 21 May 2018 12,345 posts	0 Autumnleaves Gave blood a week ago, poor planning as I had the Manchester 10k on Sunday. Don't think it helped my lack of oomph! It was a quick session though - out in 45 minutes - brought my drink a biscuit whilst still in the chair, which was nice but I felt I couldn't take another one...
