BasVegas!!!! Would i need to be tooled up
Hope the LSR goes well this morning Albs. Doing mine on Friday before running club on Friday because we've got a league race on Sunday. I much prefer running in the daylight. Pity that we're not going to get much of that during our training. If you get tired during your run, just imagine Weeny biting at your ankles to keep you going, lol
Well done on your win Kwala. Hurrah!! I was always absolutely rubbish at netball.
Morning all! You're an early bird LK or don't you sleep?
Cross training for me last night, 3 miles tonight, 7 miles on Saturday and swimming on Sunday! Brighton Mara is a week before London so even more reason to panic
Hi LK...remind you when VLM is.....hell yeah
and am happy to re-take up my position as official FANR @rse kicker ..just say the word "@rse" and I'll be there 
. Soooo can none of your "support team join you in part on your LSRs of 18+ miles. Surely they could do a mile or two here and there along the route...failing that on a bike. Entice them in with promises of some of your culinary creations....bet they would be queuing 
. As far as the bun and tears service - course sister. I can tell you where I set up camp every year and you can come get your bun, and sister of the hood hugs.
Hi Triggs - Go you too. Been following your schedule on FB!! Fabulous! Brighton is one of my most best-est places to play at weekends. I may come try spot you in the crowd - YAY!
Weeny, you're right, I'm feeling like an old man. I never had these aches & pains when I was laying on the sofa at 24st! Am hoping 3rd time lucky for me with the VLM next year. Sleaford Half is on 28 Feb, 2 weeks before the Kilomathon. So will be treating it as the last LSR.
LK, how far are your LSRs at the moment?
Trigger, your training looks like it's going well too? LSRs are up to?
Weeny, I shall be celebrating 14 March by doing the Kilomathon.
Bodypump this morning, did more squats instead of lunges to give my ankle some protection. No pain so far. Probably rest now until Sunday's easy LSR.
Burnie - you naughty man.... is the competion of the Kilomathon the go ahead for the "prize"
THAT is so dangling the carrot before the donkey 
Your weight loss has always been the most fabulous and amazing achievement Burnie!!! AMAZING!!!
And you know that i know that we know that you know and in fact everybody knows that you are in a better place than your 24st former self.
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
You all still here? Weeny kicked my ass and made me come back, but i dont feel guilty now cos skimming thru the posts, a few of you have been absent too (but came back after a Weeny kicking!)
Just a quicky to say i recovered after injury, got back (slowly) back on training for Stafford half marathon and trainin also for Full Marathon
doing Edinburgh Marathon in May so apologies for being away bt it's all busy busy and looks like you guys all are too.... yippee!!!!!
Anyway, catch up properly later - waves to you all
xxx
Cheetara! You are an "angel"
(like me *pretends* )
I didnt know you were doing Edinburgh?? Kept that a bit quiet didn't ya?
Well I can't offer you buns and kleenex ......or can I ...???? *mind drifts off into imagining kilts and sporrans* I'd love to shout ooot "Donald...where's your troooosers.?" 
*Googles cost of flights to Edinburgggghh in May*
Yey everybody has come back,hi Weeney Burnie and Cheetara,we have missed you all.
Hi everyone well my runs have still been every other day and only for a couple of miles but the ankle is good so still scared to push it too much,still walking lots inbetween,7 weeks to Kilomathon and so exited,Cams Story was on the E newsletter for it this week so was well chuffed,cant wait now,think Iggle Piggle need a bit of training too tho.lol
Hope everyone is ok,need to come on here more now to keep up.
heellloooo ! cheetara !
its like old times x
may get a *cheeky* 3 miler in tonight ?
LR went really well yesterday .....went out a bit later than I normally do and had breakfast first and I think that really made a difference, as I normally run on empty as I just get up and go before the kids get up, but think I may rethink that ?
Ecky - good to see you are getting out there ... I wanted to do the kilomathon but its a bit too far for me
hope everyone else is well ?
"cheeky Cheeky cheeky" said the 3 milers
I got 3 in myself today and that is 3 WHOLE RUNS this week....feels like old times...you betcha! 
Hiya Ecky. How far is the "kilomathon" then?????
I plan to go out on Sadie this Sunday. "she's sooooo beeeeaaaaautiful" P.s. it's a bike NOT a person
Twisted my ankle at netball training last night and can barely walk today
So no running for me for a little while again now
Oh no Kwala, thats just pants.
. Hpe it gets better soon,makes you wonder why we put ourselves thru this dont it.
Well done everyone else.. jealous of your plans, but pleased for you all too. Will recover and get there,,
Sorry to hear that Strange One
If it's any concelation, my 29 yr old body has achy knees at the moment. I'm not supposed to have achy knees at 29 damn it!!!
Kwala NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Rest rest rest!! Hope it gets better soon
albs - I've noticed a hell of a difference if I have breakfast first. It's annoying because I need it at least 3-4 hours before a run BUT it gives me much more va va voom. I used to just get up and go.
Weeny - So good to hear you've managed 3 this week. No overdoing it though, you hear me??
I was supposed to do 9 before running club tonight followed by 5 at running club for my LSR. However, life got in the way and I didn't get home until 6pm
Managed to make it down the club for a slow 4.5 though. I'll do my 14 miles tomorrow morning after brekkie & a trip to the running shop for some socks (so exciting!!). Race on Sunday, but it'll be a recovery. Can't afford to go flat out and knacker my legs more.
Thought I'd pop in
Wow your all back.....
Well things are ok in my world! !!
LSR planed for tomorrow..
Should be 15 mile but not sure I'll manage that at the moment
Glad your all back
Back later x
Morning all!
Sorry to hear that you've hurt your ankle Kwala - thats a real nuisance. Hope that you get the chance to rest up and will soon be back out there enjoying your running.
7 miles for me this morning. Week 4 of marathon training done and only 12 weeks to go until Brighton
As an extra bonus I managed to lose 3lbs this week - only another 19 to go 
Take care everyone - hope you do your 15 mo.
Well done on the weight loss Trigger
Hey Mo. Hope you're alright. Let us know if you managed your 15
Nice one on the run and weight loss Trigger. I seem to be going the other way at the moment, but the OH squeezed me yesterday and said I felt thinner, so I'll go with what he says
15 miles for me today. It was a lovely run and I'm very pleased with myself. Don't think my knees are too amused at having to run a league race tomorrow though. I've promised them that we're not trying for a PB
Cheetara, fantastic news that you're on the mend. Good luck with the marathon training.
Weeny, wouldn't mind checking out those buns
Ecky, good luck with Kilo training & hope your ankle holds up.
Alb, glad your LR went well with a full belly! Hope you enjoyed your cheeky one.
Weeny, well done on the 3 runs. Looks like things are on the up. Mixing it up with the bike is a good idea too of course.
Kwala, sorry to hear about your ankle, that sux. There's a few dodgy ankles at the mo, mine included.
StOne, take it easy, think we've all been guilty of that over training thing. I know I have.
LK, hope todays 14 miler went well. Are you using gels or drinks along the way?
Mo, hope tomorrow's 15 miler goes well. Good luck/
Trig, well done on your loss! Fantastic.
LK, ah it did then, well done on the 15 miles! Take it easy racing tho.
Me, did BodyCombat yesterday for the first time since my ankle injury, made it a little sore, so no more of that for a while. Can still do BodyPump & swimming, so that's good. Easy 5 miles tomorrow, then it's back to building for the Sleaford Half & Kilomathon.
Take care all.
Will do Burnie, thanks
Yes I'm using gels and taking a bottle belt with me. Just one 1 gel on a long run at the moment, but I should crank it up to 2 really I suppose. I'm using Lucozade at the moment because I had some free samples, but want to try some others as well. It does make a difference. I'm glad I've started trying them out.
Sorry that Body Combat & your ankle didn't get on
Stil, hurrah for Pump!! Do you like the new one? I love it, apart from the abs track which I HATE. Take it easy with your 5k tomorrow 
Weeny , enjoy your 'ride' on sadie !
weather here is lovely this morning, hope its the same for you ? !
Strangeone - thats bad news .... hope it all picks up soon, so you can run your HM, take it easy
LK - good luck for race today and well done on your LR - mine aren't quite that long yet, 10 m this week, 12 next - what schedule are you following ? I have also noticed a few aches, but thats part of training I s'pose ? this is the most 'serious' training Ive done ! When did you start using gels ? I got some lucozade ones, thought I would try them next week .... what water belt you got?
Mo, hope your 15 miles went ok ...... ?
Trigger, well done on your run, and weight loss ... are you intentionally trying to lose weight, or is it just the training ?
Good to see things are getting back on track,Burnie even if you have to stop BC for a while ....
me ... I done 5 miles yesterday, will do another 3 tonight (OH working all weekend, hence the LR on thur)
My plan for next week is
2 x 3 miles, 1 x 5 miles and 1 x 12 miles
onwards and upwards !
Good running this w/e Albs
Well done!!
Race went really well today. I decided to break my new trainers in and just keep a pace that I felt comfortable at. It worked
My knees hurt for a mile, but then they felt absolutely fine and I started to speed up. Ended up with a PB for 6 miles. Hurrah! Just under a minute faster than the same course which I ran on Boxing Day. 
Shin feels a bit tender, but knees feel better after the race than they did before. Still going apply frozen peas though, just to be sure.
I'm following a modified RW 16 weeks schedule. I didn't want to drop my mileage down, so I kept it stable for a couple of weeks and am now starting to take it up. I've also planned in all my races between now and then. I started using the gels last week. After the 5 mile race, I took a Lucozade gel on the 6 mile run home. Was much better than expected, but have 2 other brands to try out.
I've got a Nike bottle belt like this. It was the most comfortable one I tried on. Lots of padding around the hips. Have to wear it quite high on the waist because it bounces on my bum, but it's fine. Enough room for a gel, some lip salve and my phone. I would recommend you go into a running shop and try on a selection.Some of the ones which people had recommended were really uncomfortable when I tried them on.
LK, I'm ok thanks ...
Your doing(( GREAT GAL))) Really pleased for you!! Keep up the good work
Kwala, Ahhhh Mrs take it easy on that ankle..
Trigger,
Well done on wieght loss and running 
Albs, Your doing well

WELLL my run was going good untill 7 and a half mile, I slipped and hurt my knee and back..
Ihad to call my hubby to come and pick me up!! I wiil see what my knee it's like in the morning as it's still swollen 
On a happy note while in freezer getting the ice pack a found a WHITE MAGNUM 
Take care
Busted ankles.....shall we form a new thread "Busted ankle.com" I'm picking my orthos up tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed my busted bits will become a thing of the past...or at least a less often busted thing
But Kwala - your ankle sounds "colourful"
Fingers crossed..." Repair Quick!"
OMG OMG!!!!!!!! LK just read your run posts on FB!!! You are doing some fabulous running! Wow! Wow! Wow! And..I must say you were looking pretty "fit" sister
If the scales are going up....the inches look like they are going down. Well done!! (Wish I was still 29!!!!" 
)
Burnie - great running and training mate! And yeah ....you can check out my buns whenever you like
Mo! Mo! Mo! Falling over..during your 15 miler sis? You wanna take more water with it

Thanks Albs - never did make the Sadie ride......got destracted
