My legs are knackered!!
I have not run since Saturday, but my shins are still very painful especially in the morning, I'm still having to come down stairs one at a time. Usually the pain goes as the day goes on an only lasts a couple of days at the most. I'm really scared that I have the dreaded stress fractures
I thought that stress fractures got worse as the day went on and shin splints got better?? The pain does ease as the day goes on but is not going completely. I can see FLM slipping away fast - well slow in my case !
Wish me luck guys, I hate this not running bit.
Iam going to ring my sports massage chappy today to see if he can fit me in.
I am doing some x training and a couple of spin classes a week, so I can keep my fitness up.
Just keep your fingers crossed for me, I really want to do the FLM this year. I know that I can defer and that nobody will die if I don't make it, but..........well I guess everyone on here would know how I feel.

A quick two miler with the dog with a runny bottom for me!! And a slow 200 yards with the dog with the broken foot. I could have got away with wearing shorts as well - is summer here?
A day full of numbers for me. Hurrah!!
Plod well, plodders.XB
Dont panic
eve if you do no more long runs, you will get round
xxxxx
WHAT A LOVELY DAY.
cdk, I would sugget going to you sports masseur for a good calf workover. Sometimes tight calf muscles can pull on the shin bones and make them very sore. He might be able to ease the pressure off them. Hope all goes well.
Can't run at the moment as I have a bad case of IBS at the moment. Its been building up since Saturday and I am in a lot of pain in my stomach. It just seems as if its one thing after another just now.
All designed to stop me plodding.
Musn't feel sorry for myself. I know these things are only temporary. BooHoo! !
<<<<Larraine>>>> you are in the wars at the moment.
XB - what on earth do you do to your mutts????
Another lovely beach walk this morning with mutts and friend and her mutts and no "fair weather walkers + mutts" which wind everyone up!! Not that we're antisocial or possessive about our beach you understand.....
just wanted to say that to someone else
(((Larraine)))
CdK - DON'T PANIC!!!! Any more than the rest of us, anyway. I've just resigned myself to run/walking FLM, will try it out on my two remaining looooooong plods
XB - was it you or the dog that had the runny bottom?
Nice to see u all doing well. Am still slowly plodding but managed 1.7 in my run today so thats good, that includes my warm up/cool down walks though. But still pleased as was only doing 1.5 before.
Good luck everyone preparing for races.. anything over 5k still sounds amazingly scary to me!
Oh me legs are sore today - long run on Tuesday night and only feeling my legs this morn!
You all sound as if you're doing great -
my vote goes for Yoi - Yeo - Yo - Yo! :0)
Brekkie time - oh bought nice cinnamon bagels from M&S yesterday - think I hear then calling.
Happy plodding.
Trin most 'slimming' or weight watching type sites have a calcualtor for BMI.
Also try www.BNF.org, they have one
have a good day all
Gym and pool running again for me after college.
Pool running? That's a new one on me. Is that round the pool table in the pub?
I could get hypnotised by that picture, Jammie.
Gym for me tonight - Fartlek or some other foreign stuff.
Plod well, plodders

Hi jammie - love the picture - at least I'll recognise you now if I meet you at any races!! :-)
Trin - BMI calculation is weight in kg divided by height in metres squared - so a 70kg person who is 1.65 metres tall (about 5 foot 5) has:
BMI = 70/ (1.65)squared
= 70 / 2.7225
= approx 25.7
Morning all others - did first "hill" session for months last night and feeling suprisingly ok this morning.
right gotta go - can hear big boss in next door office
see you later peeps
Managing to lose about a pound a week and now FOH is back from his year long sojourn in Japan I have no excuse not to train after work so this should help too.
Actually got into a pair of trousers this week I bought last summer (never try anything on in shops) and couldn't get done up so well chuft with that although not fooling myself about how far there is to go.
I know BMI ideal range is 20 - 25 but Body fat is different and at the moment I can't remember the stats. I'm pretty sure that while BMI is the same for both sexes but body fat isn't - women have a higher ideal range but I can't remember what it is.
If anyone knows as opposed to my waffling...
Ok just went to calculate BMI 27.
I got out my body fat monitor and battery was done, so will have to get a new battery tomorrow! I did check the range and they are:
Men 18 - 30years 13% to 20%
Men over 30years 16% to 24%
Women 18 - 30years 17% to 25%
Women over 30years 19% to 27%
sounds as if you two, Trin and poddler are doing great.
Trying not to get too hung up on diet stuff but look in on the weight watchers forum - keeping me motivated!
Didn't run tonight legs tired after long run on Tuesday - will venture out tomorrow :0)
