Have a great time plod.
Think i wasn't meant to do the eye run cause i went out tonight after over a week & only managed about 2 miles. I could feel my back aching with every stride. Not a happy bunny at all
Not been well Gang - Mother of all colds this week and eben lost the will togo and switch on the telly for the tennis
Looks like I cannot post properly or is it me????
Will try hard and get back to some normality next week.
Next race???? Running in Strumps neck of the woods(literally I think) next sunday.
Great pics Strump !
Best get some expert advice about your back Ady
Take Care All *siffle sniffle"
xx
Ady - take it slow don't try to rush back to where you were running wise before otherwise you might risk permanent injury
My red face - poor you, lots of bugs going round at the minute - take care of yourself xx
Patience! I know from my own experience that trying to push yourself will only make the recovery process longer.
What about some x training like swimming etc in the meantime????
I've not been here in ages. Had about 2 weeks off running due to a stupid toe injury and then a nasty cold, so just got back to it this week. Went this morning and managed 5 miles. Am totally amazed and relieved... 10k in 2 weeks time.
I'm off to read back and catch up with all your news now!
Morning all. At work today so i will be keeping an eye on here all day.
Kate, think that might be a good idea. Got my 10K on the 20th so praying i will be ok for that.
I'm gonna re-name myself "billy no mates"
nobody wants to talk to me today boo hoo 
Just had to reply to you!
Hope you're soon be over your injury.
I've been out this afternoon and ran 4 miles-not a great distance but did for the first time without walking and included two fairly steep hills!I took 48 minutes which I'm fairly pleased with.Will now do that run once a week and continue with my three mile run twice a week.
Hope to get quicker although at this stage just want to improve my stamina.
Have booked to do a 10K in October so plenty of time.
Sure you'll be up and running again soon!
Hi Susiebe
Pleased you should be, and with your 3 runs a week you will quickly see the benifits.
Lisa M Glad you are feleing better - it is rubbish having time off
Had a rotten time this week too...but at least I did not have to go through what the chaps have to go through 'a man cold '
Back to running around the park with the club tomorrow Cannot wait!
Take Care All That means you too Ady!!!
Did my RfL today - hadn't seen the course before and it had a killer hill which defeated me towards the end. I also had to stop at one point to catch my breath - so completed it in 34.29 which I was really disappointed with.
This is making me really worried about the GNR - am I ever going to progress further in my training.
I also seem to have strained something in my left thigh making me limp slightly.
All in all not impressed - not a good day
Hiya susie, i'm only kidding, you'll get used to me. Sounds like you are doing great with your running. With the runs you are doing you will be doing miles more in no time. Are you a member of a club?
Evening red, running with a club is great isn't it. They seem to be able to push you further & harder which improves your fitness no end.
I usually go on a tuesday but missed last week with this back & think i will be out this week too but still got to go to pay my membership & pay for the club vest. Soon be running in colours woo hoo.
Kate don't be too down, you can't always run good but at least you did it which is the main thing. Even when i was running good before this injury i was starting to feel a bit like that but i started going with the club & that gave me the extra kick i needed. I bet within a week you will be back on here telling us how good you are feeling after coming back from a great run.
Not sure whats happened, but i appeared to lose you all posting.
Hope your all ok.
My work is going to prevent me doing a damn thing this week (48 hrs of it and you know how much im on my feet)....good news is, ive lost quite a pile of weight due to it lol.
Good luck with all your runs xxxxxxxxxxx
I'm back after two weeks in greece- eating greek food, drinking too much Mythos and not running cos it was too hot!! I tried running twice, never for very long, after the second week though the beer got the better and late evening- when I should have been running I secumbed to being lazy and having a pint!! did some cycling/ canoing/ tennis playing/ basketball playing and alot of swimming there though- so not all bad! hoping that I can get back in the swing of running quickly enough- going to go tomorow (too tired today)
hope everyones well!!
My back is still not back to normal yet so not been running for 2 weeks now & to add to that i had a stinking cold for the last 2 days. Do i sound stupid but i am actually scared of running again cause i don't know how unfit i will feel but at the same time i can't wait. Paid my membership money & money for my new club vest last night so i am now a fully fledged member.
Hiya
Oh my its been quiet on here! Im only on a single shift today so thought id pop in.
Hope your feeling a bit better now Ady, poor you hun. Ive also not been running and wont be able to over the weekend due to work.....as you know im supposed to be resting the old shins, but i so need to do a little run...think i may try on monday *gulps*.
Hope everyone is ok xxxxxxxxx
WOWEE my back is finally starting to feel better & my cold is going too so i went out for a quick 10 minute jog to see how my back would hold up. I could still feel it a bit but it went well so i am back running again, WOO HOO. I am gonna give it 100% from now on. Sorry if i am going on but i am buzzing & i have my next 10K race next sunday in st.ives, can't wait
Strump- it has been very quiet on here, it really is very strange, missing all my mates on here too
You make sure you are looking after those shns too babe xx
Ady, glad your feeling better hun, but dont go over doing it.....*god ive started nagging you now lol*.Do you live in Cornwall then? Good luck with the 10k xx
Oh Kate, poor you, your suffering alot at the moment, hope it clears up for you soon.
I know our Plods is away, but where are all our other mates? Missing them all xxx
Get better soon Kate
Go for it Ady - Lovely St Ives I am dead jealous.
Gonna be a bit hilly? Spent a lovely holiday there some years ago - those pesky seagulls though!!!!!! Have you got to travel very far???
We are wobbling (I'm speaking for myself here, and yes that is what the race is called ) in Wivelsfield tomorrow. Looks like a nice wooded 4.5 mile run
Wish me luck?
Take Care
xx
Hang on a mo, there is something i have to clear up. Running in st.ives in cornwall would be fantastic but as i live in peterborough i am running in st.ives in cambridgeshire
Kate my cold went to my chest but it is clearing up slowly, able to breathe better now so i hope yours clears up soon.
Strump i will take it slowly but i am on a mission now
Red you are right what you say. I used to go off to quick & you have to curb your ambition & start off slowly even though you probably feel you can run a lot faster. That way i guarantee you will run further very quickly. Good luck with the "wobble in wivelsfield" tomorrow, i will be with you all the way in thought.
Signed up to 2 more races this morning, 1 in thorney in august & the 2nd in spalding in september.
Hey all, hope everyone is well
Couple of questions - is anyone doing the BUPA Great Capital run next Sunday? And any tips on training this week? I ran 6.37 miles today, just to make sure I could actually go that far. What should I do during the week? Presumably I should have a couple of rest days before Sunday?
Oh lots more back, great, ive missed you all.
LM, you must have some rest or youll burn out, l was told you should have two rest days before your main race/run.
Sorry Ady, thought you were a cornish lad then, was going to start calling you pixi lol.
Good luck MRF and LM xxxxxxxxxx
