running clubs scare me I tried Les Croupes (I think thats how you spell it) and they were all very lovely but I felt so inadequate compared with those guys and again when i went out with Rio's bunch again lovely group of girls but I always feel like I'll never make it.
I think thats why I always enjoy going out on my own - no one to push me on - but then of course my time never really improves.
Plan is
Get knees fixed
get confident
join Rio again for the run around Roath Park
:P
Still feeling better and been out on the road a couple of times this week. Tackle swimming again tomorrow, Monday morning was embarassing (I managed 4 lengths of a 20 metre pool before giving up!) Hopefully more luck tomorrow.
Good luck to those racing this week, esp Hipps and WP and anyone else I've forgotten who are running marathons. I'm choosing between Rome or Rotterdam for the spring, presuming I'm not in FLM this year. Oh, and getting some new kit, I need it!
Gently - You are the person that will push yourself on - no-one else! You can do this and that's the thing that's so great. A lttle bit at a time. The satisfaction of doing it is fab, no-one can take that away, it's all yours. You are already WAY ahead of the majority of the country by running and exercising. Remember that! And remember too that we all get times when despair sets in but we all do whatever to overcome it (scoobs likes to wail and shout a lot) and then carry on! Best of luck!
yeah les croups dont comprehend 12 min miles
but if i can do a sub 2.30 mara so can you
I'm off to tell BR, BT, URR, SH, NRGB et al.
nooooooooooooooo
Gently knows what i mean
Went for a very very slow 4.5miler this morning in the drizzly rain. Legs took some coaxing but after 15-20 mins I was feeling comfortable. HR a little higher then normal for the pace.
Hippo: How long did it take you to run 25 maras?
"run" 25
If i an count walkig ones and ultras which i do
3 years
17 maras 8 ultras
Have a funny little pinching sensation across the top of my knee-cap tho - had that a few weeks before the race, if I'm honest. What is that?
Wow Hippo that is a lot of miles you have covered.
The stiffness in my legs has passed. Now I just need to get rid of the post race cold.
Will probably go for a slow run this weekend around roath lake as well. Maybe someone should start a club somewhere round there.
I dont train much
so not that many really
Tis just a little thing, and I'm sure the predominantly English peeps on here will think me silly, but it would have been nice if writing on the medal had been in Welsh and English....
If you should be passing by today and read this could you just remind me of the thread where you posted your report on the race.
Cheers
Andy
whats your race?
Hipps - I didn't realise that you had done them all in 3 years. You really are super women.
Going off now to test drive a few cars then maybe a spot of XMAS Shopping - Sorry
It's on the FLM06 sub3 thread.
Post here again if you cannot find it.
Fits in with my name.
Cant believe you were motoring along at that pace 4 days after a marathon. Credit where its due.
