Got to do some speedwork later but will do some poo-pick cross training beforehand for my upper body strength.
there is a triathlon exhibition at sandown park this weekend if you live that way, bound to have pink things in the wetsuit zone.
i have 3 miles to do today but i'm whacked, not sure if i'm following hal higdons novice plan a bit too obsessively as i feel like skiving today !
All sorts of stuff down my sink! Last one was a whole sausepan of rice - bit of a delayed dinner that night!
Rest day yesterday and today (because of the blister on the side of my foot - but it's much better today so I shall see about tomorrow.)
Hippo - did you really do your first marathon off an eight mile? If so, you have just given me a big confidence boost. - Thanks!!
What a mixture of tears and triumphs. Healing thoughts to the wounded :-)
My other half has bad back and shoulder problems so I'm going to train as a massuese in September to try and keep him going with less drugs. I'll need some 'case studies' so SW Londers will have to keep in touch :-)
Another day stuck in the house for me today as Jumpet Jnr still has the high temp and nasty cough. The worse thing is I know that Jumpet Snr will come down with it then probably me. I didn't get out last night as Mr J was late home but did an hour and a bit on the Dance Mat which was great fun. Going to try and get the babysitter to come tonight so I can get to the gym at a decent hour.
The good news is my blisters are healing -)
Hippo - a full marathon off 8 miles? Hurrah! Hope for us all.
Look after yourself around all those germs JJ. I'm a complete convert to these hot toddies. I've had them every night this week so far and they are staving off my cold very nicely. What a wonderful excuse to drink whisky every night.
Just an easy 4 mile recovery plod for me today - good luck to everyone with your runs.
:-)
gym session for me this morning, decided to do a short interval session and ran at my intended half marathon pace 2 mins at a time, wish I was more confident on the treadmill, keep hitting the front panel as I run too near to the bar.
I have a 5-6 mile group run tonight and we have two new runners who are a bit faster than me so maybe dragged around a bit tonight, so I hope I cope okay.
Im not proud of it
the marathon in question--finished in 5.58
Ran a 10k pb(63 mins)
ha torrential diarrhoea at 10 miles
walked solidly from mile 13 in
Had a hangover, and had no food or sports drink till my family could get to me at mile 21
it was too late then
i have done worse marathon times since and still dont understand how i got round
Just bak from 12 really difficult miles
am blue
I have the same problem with the Tready. I worry about being too far back and so end up too far forward. I find consciously keeping the front panel a arm length away means I run in the middle of the belt.
Anyway you are a wiser Hippo now and get round marathons much more comfortably, so we are not all going to stop running, but it does give a bit of hope that we too might just make it!
I find all my miles difficult and keep wondering when i will have an easy run, whether it is two or ten miles!
You did well going for 12 miles today, so cheer up and give yourself a pat on the back.
You can tell I didn't run this morning, I'm feeling really lively today!!
JJ - hope JJJnr gets better soon and you don't all catch the germs
track night for me tonight - only go cos kids go to funtrack inside, but it makes a change to the roads
Im purple!
Done my speed session - 3.5 miles alternating between 8mm and 10mm. Can't imagine my little legs ever going any faster!
JJ, hope the Jump family is soon better.
I too run too near the front of the treddy and frequently kick the plate!
have a good day y'all!
my favourite colour is purple to
be nice to put a face to a name
Have a good time at Chessington everyone who is going.
If he does beat me I'll just have to accept it with good grace and dignity.....
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being 6ft 3in and as skinny as a whippet probably helps :-(
Not that I'm bitter or anything :-)
