Saturday 29 April
...And nobody sees how shaky my knees.
Went for a 4 miler yesterday - the dead legs seem to have gone - touch wood.
Will do another 5 or so today before deciding to do a half marathon or not tomorrow.
Weather looks promising.
Run well.

GWR 2002 was my first road race & the event that got me into running. New course tomorrow, still looks quite lumpy, not sure if it's harder or easier than the old course. I'll soon find out!
A quick back-at-ya to nrg-b, Speedie, Pammie, debbo, 200minutes and David Fagan, and a big hug to the rest of you. Hope Paul and Jo are doing well.

Last hard: Boston 12 days ago
Looking forward to getting the training back to normal. 22 days to the Isle of Wight marathon.
Woo hoo! I actually went for a run this morning :-) First time in nearly two weeks. Calf still hurts a bit, but a 3 mile plod will hopefully do more good than harm.
Have a nice holiday Cath. Ms FAB and I have spent our last two hols in the lakes, and are going back this summer for more. Lovely place. Lots of nice routes to run, too!
Enjoy the well deserved break Cath.
What: Either tempo run or pace session. Struggling to motivate myself so may jump into local race to run controlled up beat tempo run.

Why: I guess it's my long run
Last rest: 24 days
Have a good one.
speedie - missed you news on the thread yesterday - sorry to hear it now though.
First run since FLM today. Did 5.5 miles. Couldn't bring myself to completely leave the Garmin behind and have no record of the run, but did manage to avoid the temptation to look at it all the way round. Just ran at a comfortable pace without worrying about what that pace actually was. Quite pleased to get home and discover it was 8:05 on average - that's quite quick for me.
The only fly in the ointment is that my ankle clearly is not recovered from last Sunday. It was OK when running, but felt a bit stiff. Now I'm back, it feels quite sore. Any ideas/suggestions welcome. It's on the inside of my left foot underneath the ankle bone.
