8.79 miles this morning, and off to sit on the terrace of the Versace hotel today and drink lots of champagne and eat my body weight in seafood, it's tough being an expat!! Hope they have patio heaters, it's only going to be 25 degrees.
YTD 112.27 miles
YTD: 112
65 miles YTD
Just got back from hospital after X-rays on my left knee - the horrible pain in it after the swelling from two Saturdays ago had subsided is a hairline fracture of the kneecap. Oh well, good job I got a slow pacing time at the Big Half in March and the VLM in April.
Still managed a sluggish 10.48 miles yesterday - got a parkrun sandwich tomorrow and a 14 mile VLM course familiarisation run on Sunday where I will be taking half a dozen runners from Tower Bridge to the Finish line.
YTD = 111.94 miles
Cal... I saw that colourful sunrise, but it wasn't after a 10' run! just after an 8hr sleep!!
Dubai... You could make a name for yourself with that 'diet'. The new 'carb-loading'?
Harmander... Glad that you've had the x-ray, and know the problem. 'Rest' is obviously not your way to recovery!! Hope all goes well with your planned runs.
An easy 10' earlier this week, then a Seafront 5' today, with strides. Going to give parkrun a miss tomorrow (too much to lose with a crowded, muddy 5k) Hoping to do 25k again.
YTD: 82'.
MrM2, probably sensible.
I nearly had a parkrun disaster today. I travelled up to Gunpowder, which is a long tube ride plus a train plus a two mile jog from the station - not exactly easy - and when I got there it was covered in ice. RD cancelled it, which really was the only course of action.
Fortunately I managed to blag a lift from some other parkrunners and we went to Roding Valley, another I've not done. However, Roding is very, very muddy and I was in my Zoom Flys, so I jogged it around and walked the stupidly muddy bits for a personal worst. Better than no run at all, though.
YTD: 117
You are right MrM2 - there were no specific instructions from the doctor to say I must not run. I got selective hearing anyway - the genesis of which was an action I took on 5th May 1979 - I got married.
With enough ibuprofen to subdue an elephant, I managed to pace at 33:15 (did 33:12) for parkrun after a 2 mile warm up, a further 5km with a wannabe marathoner before running home - 10.19 miles - all in just under 1 hour 50 minutes.
YTD = 122.13 miles
Harmander... Take it easy. Well done, again, for your pacing.
As indicated in last post...gave parkrun a miss today, and went on the 2nd of my 'pledged' 25 km runs this afternoon. Thought the promenade would be clearer than Sunday (tomorrow). Wrong! 16' in a little under 2hr 40 (9:58/mile pace). Last week's was slow so I decided to take it a bit faster today. May do a short run tomorrow while the weather forecast is good; and should take me over the 100' line.
YTD: 98'.
Planned long run today, but on the run got called into work, so only 8.12 miles.
YTD 120.39 miles
YTD: 135
20.14 miles so
YTD: 97.30 miles
YTD:104'.
Congrats MrM2 on joining the Centurions
Paced four others from Tower Bridge to Whitehall McDonalds following the VLM route in just under 3 hours. The distance was 14.45 miles.
Bottom half of the leg still attached lol.
YTD = 136.58 miles
Harmander: take care, rest is usually the first rule of recovery.
Cal: Toyko just around the corner, sounds like you're on the right track.
Aiming for 100 per month, will be slightly under for Jan.
You can do it Donnie, 100 a month no problem for you.
6.24 miles this morning.
YTD 126.63 miles
Congrats on the hundred MrM2
Japan sounds excellent, it is on my list, both for the marathon and a holiday.
Very frosty morning so on the treadmill, I see it as very good mental endurance prep!
12.85 miles
YTD: 110.15 miles
Some great mileage already this year, Cal, Dubai and the one legged Harmander of course.
Just another 6 for me this morning.
YTD = 39.8
This will be an easier week as I have Farnham half on Sunday, so you buggers can catch up.
YTD: 143
There is a Farnborough half on this weekend, a typo or am I missing out on a race?
As usual lots of good starts to the year, am very impressed with all those of you over 100 already, especially Hopalong Harmander!
Ran my first race of the year last weekend, Folksworth 15M, very slowly, but got round with no problems, but then could hardly walk afterwards - whatever was wrong with my knee is still there to give me some grief, but at least not while I'm running.
YTD 63.19M
Couple of runs in work at lunch this week.
I've got my first race of the year on Sunday...a Team Pursuit...6.7miles (with a couple of hills) everyone starts at 10 second intervals...so some will finish before other start. Teams of 5 with times averaged...no pressure.
77 miles YTD
Well done on your 15. My knees a bit dodgy at the moment too but it behaved today.
Hobie, that sounds like fun!
Cold damp and foggy this morning so intervals in the gym. Everything seems to be calming down now.
10.8 miles so
YTD: 120.95
My next race is the Sheffield half at the end of March, building towards that. Did 1. 47 last year, maybe 1.45 this time.
Ytd: 71.8
MrM2 and TT well done on passing 100.
Well done on your 15miles,senidM.
Hobie, are your work colleagues still running at lunchtime?
Very mild today out in shorts and t shirt.
17.01 - 8.2
19.01 - 11.68
20.01 - 5.05
22.01 - 5.1
YTD - 89.73
YTD: 161
Great running pees - Cal, Tokyo beckons - you will smash it.
Did 11.10 miles on Tuesday with less hopping - funny thing is the missus twisted her foot and has a hairline fracture near her little toe - Karma is whispered but she still heard me - ouch. I really believe she did it deliberately to avoid trying to beat her 3:29 Big Half time from last year which I had to drag her while I was pacing for 3:30. She probably was cacking it as I am pacing for 3:00 this year - she had been taking it easy by not doing enough parkruns and therefore not losing any weight - she is 5 foot 6, size 12 and actually weighs less than me (72 Kg)
Anyways,my
YTD = 147.68 miles with todays run yet to be done
As TT said before, always check before posting
