Me too, Birkmyre.
5.4 miles yesterday afternoon. Felt very sluggish, which was disappointing. Maybe that was down to the red wine consumed the evening before.........?
swittle - we can't stop the march of time, but we can lay a few ambushes along its path. Well done on the half
8.7km (44 mins) - recovery run with very tired legs
effort - 6/10
keep up the good running everyone
Thanks for your kind comments, cidlad - and for those about the passing years. I started running at 33 and 2012 is my silver jubilee year
Had some fantastic experiences & met such a variety of people all drawn together by our sport.
This thread epitomises the running spirit imho - keep running strong!
Tuesday 7.00pm - 14.1km 'speedplay' (65mins)
effort 8/10
legs still tired, but enjoyed the run in a cooling breeze.
keep on meaning to have a rest day, but finding it difficult to resist getting out and running!
keep up the good work everyone
Well done Swittle, Squark, Surrey Runner, cidlad and Young Pup. Good on ya JT 141 too, sometimes its just like that.
Tipped the scales at 15 stones 8Lb today which is better than the 17Stones 3 Lb I was after my knee op end of September. Its still hard work but I feel so much better.
3.25 miles off rd after work with Cede the Staffie who had to fend off an attack by another dog (Cede was on lead) as we ran, thankfully no harm done as all she wants to do is run with me, and Staffies get bad press !
Then I had to dodge 2 friendly Spaniels who we often meet as they decided to join us, off road dog hurdling was not what I expected as all three ran in front of me playing then stopping
. Once clear of nutty dogs I let her off lead and plodded on. About a mile from home I met a neighbour with his young German Shepherd prompting more playing and dog hurdling.
Time not important, Showered and a nice tea of pasta, peppers, onions and mushrooms in creme fresh done by Shortstop. Knee good and feel good, Time to cuddle up with Cede for the evening.
Keep up the good work everyone, Bobejaan.
Bobejaan - Tea sounds delicious
JT141 - that's the difficult one out of the way - it's all good from now
Wed 7.00pm - 10.3km - 48mins (2km warm up / 8km tempo run)
Legs are crying out for a couple of recovery days.
Enjoyable running everyone.
Hi everyone, been really bad at posting on here lately!
Marathon training going ok but feeling quite tired and have a few niggles. I have missed a few of the runs on the training plan unfortunately which I'm not really happy with but worried about injury. I have ran up to 17 miles so hoping to get up to 18 miles at the weekend. The weeks have flown by, I cant believe there are only 7 weeks to go!
Solent, glad to see you are building up your miles & training pace again. Do you plan to do a Marathon this year? Good Luck for Sunday.
alib: good to hear from you again, I did wonder where you had got to. Am glad your training is going ok, I'm sure you will enjoy the big day and no matter what time you run it will be a PB as it is your first. Yes I have a few marathons planned, probably to many to be honest as now think I will be running some of them at training pace so as not to over do things, oh well guess they will be good days out.
5 miles at lunch in 39 minutes on the treadmill.
Good going Solent and Alib.
2.85miles on the treadmill, mixed up the pace to give a 30 min session after 5 mins on the bike to warm up. Missed my little dog
. Left Knee sore too 
. Do not usually run in the gym, too hot and a bit hard on the knees but its free and being a tight Yorshireman its hard to turn down 
. Cidlad it was a nice tea for sure, tonights offering was spag, onions, peppers, finely chopped leeks, garlic, mushrooms and tomatoes n chillis. Lekker, as read on a cafe sign in York !
keep ya eyes on the prize all those in training for an event, Bobejaan
broke my furthest distance, my fastest pace, and got to 5k in less than 28 mins - chuffed to bits, happy days, spring like weather, felt amazing, I am making progress
was only supposed to be an easy slowish 6k (after a bad run on Tuesday) I love runs that surprise you like that
well done Ninjablossom - the progress will continue
Bobejaan - meat free I notice (fellow vegetarian?)
Solent - good luck on Sunday
5km on the treadmill - set to a slow pace. Recovery taken to the extreme!!
Evening all
Three days off for me this week ahead of a race this Sunday, so today was my first run of the week, and did a very slow easy 5 mile run as part of my journey into work.
I haven't read back, so apologies if I've missed anything big, but I hope everyone is healthy, enjoying their runnng, etc...
YP
Some good training going on. Keep it going
4.5M Steadily for me. Not a bad wee run to be honest.
It's been a great week for running early weatherwise
I've been drawn to Crosby beach every day, partly because the firm sand helps my muscles & joints. 5 miles before 7am logged and heading for 40 for the week.
Congratulations to all who post here - we run for the love of running!
Sat 7.30am - 8.8km (44min) in wind and rain. (week total - 69km)
Nice to get the weekend runs in early. Long one tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
A slow 3 miles for me last night - I could still feel the affects of Thursday's run in my legs. I followed that with some abdominal work - I'm very pleased with my work in that direction too. I haven't got a 6 pack yet (and probably never will
) but the muscles are much sronger now, and I can do exercises I really struggled with a few weeks ago.
Swittle: it must be great running on the beach every day. I usually try to do it when I'm away on holiday, and I just love those quiet early mornings running along a deserted beach.
