Wish I had time for a recovery run tomorrow. Might fit in a swim after work if I can keep my eyes open by then.
Already eaten about twice as much as I expended during the GNR. Extensively fed on getting to Jesmond. Never got above aerobic zone anyway - crowded or what?
Good to meet you, Benz. Glad you got home safely.
Yep vrap, you looked very relaxed
Weighed myself for a laugh and have mislaid 3 pounds sincse 2 weeks ago
I expect its dehydration post GNR
Benz, VRap, are you gonna share your times with us?
Didnt try as hard as I should have, but the atmosphere was great
Its lovely having support all the way round and not having to run alone, like in the marathon
Gordon, 1hr 12 mins for 10 miles is rather more than fairly respectable, especially for a first race - you can certainly turn in a sub 90 half (next week if you like - join us at Waterbeach!) on that kind of form.
Time? 2:20:29 by my watch. Hoping to smash that to pieces at Cheddar next month. Good party atmosphere except that they'd invited too many people.
Splendid time, Gordon. You can be pleased with that one.
Scales registering 4lb increase since last week. Not surprising with tapering and loading and a day of non-stop munching yesterday.
Time to start training for that little hillock in Scotland now.
I’ve actually put on a pound over the last week – must be a result of over zealous carbing up for the GNR (Time 1:54 by my watch) but my body fat is still steady at the 19% mark
Well done Benz and V-rap on the GNR and to any others that raced this weekend
Will
Well done V-Rap, Benz & Wildwill for the GNR and well done to Glenn for your 10 miler. I did the Southend 10K yesterday (my second ever 10K) and my time was 52.18 which I was pleased about (previous time 54.40 - 3 weeks ago!)... caught the highlights of the GNR at 6pm last night - looked brilliant - I was trying to spot any RW vests! Have been very bad with the eating this weekend.. and haven't ventured onto the scales yet. Left calf muscle feels really tight, so no running today.. might go the gym instead.. Have a good day everyone!

Being at the slightly cranky end of the running spectrum I too would be interested in a 1/2 just after Christmas, so let me know if you want some company. I won't be able to keep up with you though.
V-rap -- did I spot your time of first post there as 2am!!! You are a nutter, no really - 9am deadline or not
Benz & V-rap & WildWill -- glad the GNR went well
Cath, hope your second dose of chemo isn't as shatteringly awful as the first was. If you can't be in shape by next March, no one can.
Nutter? Me? Nah. The only crazy thing I did was thinking I could finish the GNR at 1pm (pretty much did), have eaten lunch by 2pm, and be back in Brum by 7pm with lots of time to do the writing. We rolled in about half-past midnight. Nothing was going to make me put the fee for today's batch of reviews, and my contract for regular contributions, at risk. Can't claim it was the tidiest copy I've ever filed, though!
WW, no wonder I didn't see you. You must have started about half a mile ahead of me. Well done! You'll squash us all in the spring. I think I've semi-committed myself to about 5 "halfs" in the next five months so bound to see you sooner or later.
Well done to you whizzy lot on such great race times. I watched the GNR trying to spot any forumites but didn't! Gordon, your 10 mile time is brilliant - I did the GSR, which was my first 10 miler, in 1:41:21 and I was pleased with that so your time looks amazing to me.
Glad to see you're coming to Brighton Benz (EP have you officially signed up yet?). Come on Michelle, it's only a quick jaunt along the M25/M23. Can I persuade anyone else to join us? There are quite a few forumites going so it should be good fun, albeit cold/wet/windy.
OK, back to the fat issue. Today I have officially started back on my healthy eating plan and my body is very relieved. For months I've been eating good wholesome foods and limiting my alcohol intake. In the past few weeks (during smear scare) I've bombarded it with all things fattening and copious amounts of wine and whisky - oooh, my poor liver!
As a result of this body abuse and not being allowed to do any strenuous exercise I have gained..........6lbs!!!!!!!! Ho hum, I suppose it could have been worse.
Anyway, day has started well with breakfast of fruit. Lunch will be fresh tomato soup followed by more fruit. Have to be strong tonight as we're off to a birthday bash so have told myself I'm sticking to mineral water all night (mmm, we'll see!).
Good luck to everyone weighing in today - I hope there won't be anyone else with such a huge weight gain.
Anybody doing the Cabbage Patch run in Twickenham?
Sassie, weeeeeeeee, fantastic. You can apply online at www.activeeurope.com and you'll easily get from 3.5 - 6 miles in 6 weeks. I know, 'cos I did it (June 16th Race for Life, July 22nd Jubilee 10k). I just gradually added a bit to my long weekend run, which wasn't actually very long to begin with. Just prior to the 10k the longest I had run for was 50 minutes and I managed the race in 59:50. Don't know how long it will take for a running vest to come through - check out Dog Walker's thread for details.
