Thanks for good wishes and good luck to everyone racing / running this weekend.
Still got hip problems and also calves are tight and a cold to boot. Still at least I can run and hope to have a good run on Monday. Managed 18 miles in last two weeks so hopefully well rested up.
I am going to set off without a watch and hopefully not see the time til the finish. This way I wil have no pressure on myself and if I need to walk I will do it. Just want to get round now and settle it all down for London training.
Sorry to you Cardiff guys and girls, just shows it must have been organised by get rich quick non-runners as runners would surely have taken action to make sure distance was correct.
Fran I'll message you later when I know the mobile number, if I dont get in touch I will see you somewhere on route. Whatever happens good luck for the race and make sure you get round in one piece.
Well went up the gym today but just opted for a swim as my back was giving me jip when i got up and not showing any sign of freeing up and my knee was also playing up
Back on nights Sunday so hopefully will be able to get into more of a routine every things been a bit up in the air this week with the first aid course the first 3 days of this week and being on days the other 2
If anybody’s racing this weekend good luck and look forward to hearing about it
and to all those with a LSR planed my it go well
Hope everyone else okay & have a good weekend TTFN Nessie x
Thanks Nessie, make sure you enjoy yourself
Should have said a big well done to Stret and Mrs LBB who both Pb'd again at the Weston Prom run on Thursday.
Ffran, the very best of luck on Monday, just keep the finish in focus and enjoy the race, I have confidence you will finish ok!!! Have a great flight over!!
LBB, best of luck to you also, have a safe journey and enjoy the race!!!! Apparantly somone put scafffold up on the Cardiff course overnight without telling the organisers and they had to do a slight detour hence the difference in distance!! Thats what I was told but whether it runs out to be true or not!!!!! Well done to Mrs LBB and Stret, yet another pb!!!!!!
Toby, I hope the break has helped but just take it easy for a while and let your body heal!!!
Nessie, whao, a cross trainer at home, you will be flying round the races now!!!!!!
Good luck to everyone with training and Races, its getting cold and dark so this is the hard part of the year!!!!!
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes, I will do my best tomorrow!!!
Got my number yesterday at the Expo and bought myself 'The Stick' to iron out leg issues. Also got some great advice from medical physio in private clinic. Actually wouldn't treat me as it could have aggravated things. a first for me not to have the cash whisked out of wallet.
We all went to Temple Bar last night and got drenched but no ill effects.
So feeling more confident of doing ok.
I'm going for 2 mile jog soon then breakfast and try to take things easy for rest of day.
Will post tomorrow evening. X
Hi everyone - just back from 6 days away at Henley Business School so catching up with news!
Good luck for tomorrow ffRAN - as you are aware it's back holiday weekend in Dublin so enjoy the atmosphere!
Good luck LLB and Seejay
Nice pressie Nessie!
Couldn't believe the Cardiff fiasco news
Lazing in bed watching RTE after lovely walk in the crisp sunshine earlier with my girls. Our hotel is 5 mins from Landsdowne Rd- what an amazing stadium! Its also a nice short walk to the start of the race Early dinner and bed tonight. Really looking forward to the morning. X
Hi everyone, what Ffran is talking about is my NEW PB, I have just run Stroud Half marathon, (hilly) in 1hr 49 mins 21 secs!! I cannot believe that after a Half Mararathon last week I can still produce another pb on a harder route!!! As I am sure you can imagine I am over the moon and still trying to absorb all this!!!!!!
Kev, my information is that someone put up scaffolding overnight unknown to the race organisers and for safety reasons they ahd to do a last minute diversion. That is why they had to remeasure the route but as it was only 0.12 of a mile shorter It shouldnt make too much difference unless its a qualifying race and some might loose out. Did you have a good time at Henley?
Ffran, the very best of luck to you, if you see LBB you can pass on my good news!!
SeeJay - fantastic result! Congratulations.
Good luck for Dublin tomorrow Ffran and LLB.
Fantastic time Seejay!!!!!! "On the bounce as well"
Yes Henley was good thanks - really something different.
Seejay thats fantastic well done, very impressive and very deserved.
FFran - Enjoy your relaxing and all the best for you and Lbb tomorrow.
Nessie - how lovely of your hubby. Hope your long run went well for you today
Toby - hope your niggles are feeling a bit better.
Wishing good training to all
Binx x
Thanks Kev, I think thats what makes it special!!
Thanks Binx, it has taken time but I thinkk I will have to leave 1:45 till next year as Marathon training beckons!!!
crawls out from lurking..
Good luck to ffRAN and LBB in Dublin.
Have a great week to everybody else.
Met LLB on the run- he was going great when he ran off into the distance. I ran a bit too quick for first 17 miles then took a gel I wasn't used to and threw up so walked for a mile. However finished in style and knocked 13 mins off my PB so chuffed!
did GSR on sunday. automatic PB cos first time at that distance, but i'm happy with 1.39 anyway
would like to do it again, but it is quite expensive... loads of crowd support and the bands were great. i think i started too fast though, and paid for it later. ooh my 10k split was 1.00.04 (a whole 1 sec slower than swansea!)
hope everyone else has a good week
Ffran - Youre fantastic, what a massive chunk of your PB. You should be very proud of yourself.
.
Tazi - Still counts as a PB, so well done to you too.
I fancied that one but wasnt sure about doing it so soon after the Cardiff Half but going by Seejays fatastic new PB that must be the way to go.
Forgot to say a well done to Stret and Mrs Lbb on there PBs too.
Hello everyone! (you may remember me from the Bristol half thread) well, back off injury, well....if you can call it "back" kind of feels like starting again, still a tad painfull to run, but building myself back up slowly, my next half I've put down for isn't untill March (Reading) debating on Wokingham before that, but I'll see how training goes.
Hope everyone had a good race in Bristol half, was gutted I wasn't there, but took my girls out for the day, so wasn't all bad.
Thanks RSB, good to hear from you again, dont be such a stranger!!!
Ffran, well deserved pb, just think what you would have done if you had been fit and not thrown up!!!!
Tazi, great running from you, is GSR hilly? Might consider it for next year!!!
Binx, it doesnt always work, last year I had an amazing time when I ran two 10k's one after the other, this year I didnt get on so well!!!
It all down to preparation!!
Brian, good to hear you are back on the road again, take it slow and dont worry about starting from scratch, better than ending up injured again!!
ffRAN well done on yourP/B
FFran - Way to go Girl - magnifico, magnifico, magnifico performance AND Champers cocktails, no hangover - SEE - I told you all champers was good for you LOL - hope you had a great breaky!!!!
SeeJay - GSR is flat - a couple of very small inclines, but that's it! I would strongly recommend it! the only downside is the cost (£30+ for a 10 miler), i'm still tempted to do it again though! enteries are open now. just a question of timing - thinking of doing a mara next october.....
Ffran -Woop Woop! what's the course like? hilly, flat? and what was the crowd support like? i'm tempted by dublin (still thinking leicester at the mo, but need to know dates and prices!!)
Tazi- Dublin is one I'd really recommend. But it is not flat- I would say fairly hilly with long drags but if course what goes up must come down so the decents are speedy. Atmosphere was brilliant- support all the way and such blarney and craic it's really motivating. I paid about €70 to enter which isn't cheap but worth it. Dublin is an expensive city to visit though.
Think I might be doing Snowdon on Saturday- my friend has a spare bib and I feel like I could do it all again today.
