3.47 mile today clocked via Runkeeper.
well done! Kev, is that your first 5k on your own after the plan?
WK3-R3 Completed yesterday along the sea cliffs so that
Was 3k for me not bad after a 5k walk then we have just
Walked from Caister to Hemsby had lunch and walked back
10km total in the rain......
Will catch up with everyone when we get home
October- 24k
Yes mate it was, shins was ok prior to run as well.
will see how the feel tomorrow, got some biofreez on hand just in case
Mummysaurus, well done on completing WK3 and have a good holiday.
Lisa, hope you feel better soon chick
Kev, I walk 5 mnutes either side of my runs and don't count it. I see it as a walk, not part of my run. If it was a walk break within a run I would count it. Each to their own I suppose but I could start claiming the miles I run around the football pitch each week as its still training?
Engineer been internet all better now
So will catch up later
finally got the lergy
havnt run since tuesday last week, foot needs to heal anyway so I guess its good timing...I guess 
Aaaaaaaaaanywhooo
Well done Kev glad the shins are ok, keep up with mashing those calfs with the rolling pin and you will be fine
JR - I guess I claim walk breaks in mine because I have ultras in mind so I never pause the watch at all. I can understand not adding it if you want to get nice and warm then try for a PB
Maybe I should do that lol
5 miles farlek this morning, nice easy and relaxed - another easy one tomorrow then rest day Friday and an easy couple of Saurday. Sore knee at moment which seems to have been a result of that trip the other week, funnily enough right knee that took the brunt of it is OK now, it's the left knee. Whether I twisted it when I fell I don't know. Certainly worse when I get out of bed when it feels like it is going to give way on me - funnily enough doesn't hurt when I run and given that I have pretty much run 80 miles or so since it happened can't be much. Happy days
B2B - Hope you fell better soon and are back on the road
Grendel - Take it easy mate you have your "mystery" race coming up soon then the marathon next year. Now, when you gonna tell us about this "mystery" race hmmmm ... lol !!
B2B - So the tattoo has been done - did the guy ask who the hell Scott Jurek was when he done it ? !!
After last week that I was really pleased with I have faltered. I have not run since Saturday thats 4 days so an easy 5 tonight and either 3 or 5 tomorrow then 8 Saturday. Regretting not getting out Monday now ... oh well upwards and onwards
Keep on keeping on guys !!
330 - yeah he said he had been trying to work it out all day lol!
My throat is destroyed!
Just need to sleep loads I think
330 - Dont panic, resting is a good thing
No mystery about it 3:30, but with the race sometime over the next x days/weeks over X miles I am just feeling a bit uncomfortable as the knee seems to be getting worse - BUT it seems OK when I run so fingers crossed for the Wix 5 on Sunday, I mean a mystery race sometime in the next few weeks.
3 miles jogged this morning - very very very easy.
B2b get out there and run that cold off.
3.43 today via Runkeeper.
Grendel, Wix 5 ? You mentioned a race so is that the one in the next few weeks ? that's the one I mean is a mystery, are you going to tell us ? !!! lol !! Mind you I think I may keep my first race back a mystery until I have done it !!
Look after that knee
B2B it is but its habbit forming the more I rest the more difficult it is to get out there again !!
Not the next few weeks - it's sunday!!!!!
Wish there was an edit feature - it is the first race since my comeback where I am wearing racing flats (or a far lighter shoe than before - not a real stripped donw one) so I am hoping to get through the race OK - have been wearing them up to 7 miles on my fartlek session - am now going to rest my knee between now and Sunday with only a very easy 2 miles Saturday morning.
Where is the race Grendel ?
Whats it called gonna have a look on web
Its the Wix 5 - near Harwich in Essex. very fast - a pb course but given that my PB is 27.33 I may have trouble getting anywhere near it!!! LOL
That's a great PB mate
Be good to see how you get on - good luck
27:33 and I wasn't even close to the front when I ran that, my mate ran 25 something and just about scrapped into the top 20 - I remember the race well, Rob Denmark ran around 22:30 serioulsy quick!!! Things have changed massively now!!! When I see race results I get so frustrated I could have won a lot of races had I been runnng at that level now - Oh well can't turn the clock back.
That's true Grendel
Not at your level or anywhere near but I get frustrated that if I took things even a tad more seriously and actually put the miles in I could have got a sub 3:30 marathon (again the wife doesn't like me running and couldn't get out in the evenings so midweek was confined to an hour at lunchtime)
Now will settle for a sub 2 half next March !!
Good luck with the race on Sunday Grendel!
Happy running everyone..
As for me i'm still uncomfortable walking long distances atm let along running..but I do feel like the pain is easing in my back so hopefully give it another week and I might be able to slow run round the block?
Thanks Lisa, hope you continue to make a steady recovery, how's hubby?
Rest day today - it really does not feel natural but will do a short jog tomorrow - how far depends on whether other half leavesa her bike at work again for me to collect - so it'll either be a 3 mile run and a bike ride or a 2 mile jog.
Will report back on Sunday if it goes OK, you can read my obituaries on Facebook if it doesn't!!!!
His neck and wrist is still hurting but he is moving about more now and has started driving again so hopefully he'll be on the mend soon too! Thanks for asking.
3.39 mile this morning
Quit here this week seems theres a few people injured
I have been feeling a knock since last Saturday so haven't been out. As you know normally do 8 Sat but may get out for 5 later
Two miles very easy jog - all done and ready then an easy week (maybe do the Barking Park Parkrun net Saturday morning as I am in the area, and it is on the route of the Barking Park 5K - the race I co-organised for 15 years!!!
Hi all, apologies for absence. Illness and other sports plus having to do school runs in between work as my wife was ill have set me back the last 7 days. Running has taken a back seat. Had a sore(ish) knee after my 5k last Friday, maybe pushed a little too hard when I maybe wasn't ready to but done plenty of cycling to and from work to keep me fit this last week and lost 3 1/2 lbs despite not running although I have definitely been a little more careful with the snacking! Off out for a run this morning sometime (there may be a little disagreement as to who is going first as we are both fit and well now). Be back with a short report later.
JR - Good to see you back. Have been in same boat not been out since last Saturday, but back tomorrow
Looking forward to seeing how Grendel got on today
Well I am back from my holiday.....really had a good time but very strange not having any internet....
Good luck today Grendel looking forward to hearing all about it.
Hope everyone else is now feeling a bit better and planning some running this week.
I have enjoyed running along by the sea, not much in the way of paths just sandy tracks which made my already slow running even slower but much more enjoyable looking at the sea and wind farm and Friday's run I was accompanied by a seal swimming along keeping pace with me, I have a sneaky suspicion that he could of done the distance much faster than me
That was a first for me I have only ever seen seals in the zoo so a real joy and one I would of missed if it hadn't been for learning to run......managed to run three times while away so that completed my week 3 of C25k and sessions 1 & 2 of week 4. Went to the gym this morning & did the last session to finish off week 4 so feeling pretty happy with my progress.
Well that's about it from me happy running everyone
