Hello all
Roobs - hope you fell better today?
km10- hope your 12 miler goes well
No LSR for me today, very trecherous conditions
will try to do a shortened version at the gym if it is open!
Well the LSR was fun, 12.2 mile off roads in bout 3 to 4 inches of snow, horrible head wind, or slippery flattened snow
. Did it in 2h18m, so was really pleased in that weather etc 
. Well done Tracey, you had much snow there?
Evening
Still feeling quite ropey
I'm going to call my oncologist tomorrow as I am having a couple of symptoms that I'm not that happy with 
Hopefully its nothing but its worth having a chat with her anyway 
So...... I didn't get my long run done today
(((Roobs)))
Snow here too now!
Definitely a good idea to give your oncologist a call Roobs, hope all is OK.
Good going km
Thanks TopSec.
Hope all ok Roobs.More snow here over last 24 hrs, so off roading again tomorrow.
Good evening ladies, hope you all ok? Another run off road in the snow today, 3 x 1 mile with 1 mile recovery. Hows everyones training going so far?
Morning all,
Sat here with my running gear on, although getting outside is going to be much harder! Need to wait for breakfast to settle but I'm thinking it's a bit cold
km, I'm not training for anything, just running for health and fitness now. Will try to get a race or two entered so I have a target. Most of my fitness regime at the moment is cycling and walking these days.
A lot of the snow gone here this morning, rain has washed most of it away, temperature is only 1.1 degree so will need to be careful of ice
Running gear is now off and layers and layers of clothing on - I'm frozen!! Didn't run as it was just so cold outside
I don't mind the cold usually but today is just that awful damp cold that goes right through to your bones in an instant 
Morning everyone.
The reprieve is over. Off to Peterborough today
Please let her be in a good mood for a change 
Now that the snow and ice is almost over perhaps I can get my mojo back next week, although I totally agree with you TS. Don't mind the cold, but not when it's that damp that it goes right through you. Better things to do than suffer that
Morning all!
Good luck for the weekend Lyndy
Is it only me who can pull an intercostal muscle whilst doing Pilates?
Felt it go pop as I was doing some sort of stretch 
It's not too bad, it's gone before so should only be a few days before it feels OK hopefully, although why I had so have a sneezing attack this morning I don't know 
Ouch
Hope everyone else is running well
Morning all, so far so good, 5 mile tonight, then 10 on sunday, then onto longest run i've done before next sunday, 14 miles
. Just wanted to ask, my schedule ( and most schedules that i've seen for marathon) don't go above 20 miles for the LSR. How do you manage to get through the last 6.2 miles extra? Is there some sort of magic adrenalin rush that gets you through? 
Thanks for that Tracey
Just done 4.4 miles 39m44s, then a mile run to the chippy, wife decided she craving chip shop chips
.
Getting bored of the ice on paths now, just want to be able to run more than half a mile without having to slow down for ice, and now its just started snowing again, roll on next week when its all thawed
Nice pace run
Morning
Good luck Lyndy
No snow or ice here, just rain. Where are you km10?
km, a lot of plans do a max of 22 miles. The last 4 or 6 miles will just happen during the race, I guess the adrenaline keeps you going - it certainly will if it's London! I have run them on 17 to 22 miles max training and I have to say 22 mile training was my best marathon, but I guess that was because I was generally fitter during that time.
I'm sure people will have told you this already but for the race and during long runs too I guess; start off slow!! If you want to run a certain time, break down into miles or km if you prefer, work out your pace per mile and go slower for the first half than the second. Never race off at the start
Snow gone here, sunny at the moment.
Evening all
Congratulations km
And good luck Lyndy!
Still feeling off colour
I finally had a messsage from my oncologist - sod's law that I missed her call. She thinks its ok to wait until I see my gynae consultant on Feb 18th. I don't think its a recurrence of the cancer but I suppose its only natural to panic a bit. I think its more than likely something else going on so I'll wait til then. In the meantime I should get the results of the blood tests that my GP requested. Its a full blood MoT - absolutely everything is being checked.
I haven't run for about a week and a half now as I have felt so rough. Getting a bit concerned about my marathons
Got a 14 mile run to do on Monday
Everything going quite well so far. No teddies thrown out off the mobility trolley yet lol. Mind you, she didn't get up til 10:30 this morning and went back to bed at 12:30 til about 5 so not much time to be able to wind me up! And now she's engrossed in the telly so will hopefully stay quiet
