A late pop in but just got home and boyf isn't here yet, so thought i'd come and see what's been happening.....
Been to my mates house who's just had a baby and another workmate came along with her two year old - made me realise exactly how far away from that time in my life I am (if that makes sense!).
((stoxy)) glad things are going ok hun. Hope you manage to get out for that run if it's safe!
SNG- hope tapering is going ok (if you ARE tapering this time that is!)
Hey there emmi!
Missing all the other girlies, NSC, Treacle, Eggy........
Looking forward to the long wkend ahead YAAAY!
XXX

good weekend s to all
sng
Enjoy your 8miler today and your relaxing week off with the mrs!
Was up early today (for a sunday) waiting for my crumpets to digest and then off out for a 10miler in the rain. Boyf has plotted out new route which includes a long steep hill of death and then the usual smaller but also evil hills. Should be a challenge anyway!
glad things are looking up, give us a shout if you need a hand moving or a bed for a night x
SNG, you and the missus have a good week chilling and we will be waiting with baited breath for your race report next week
I will be shaking my pom poms for you (from the sofa)!
Laura - are you getting wet? just trying to summon up the energy to peel myself off the sofa and go and get wet for 9ish miles too :O)
training has been pretty non-existant this week, managed a short run friday and NEED to do something today
right - got my number for yorkshireman (510) are we going to get organised for staying over?
Just been on Fetch to log my run and have just noticed Emmi has run a stonker of a race today.....but will let her come in herself and fill you all in!!!!
WELL DONE EMMI!!!!
Yes I got SOAKING wet on my run, it didn't stop raining for the whole time we were out. Just measured it out and route was 9.22 miles and we did it in 1:25 WITH hills of death, so chuffed with that.
Felt AWFUL at the time thou, the first hour was pure hell for me! My legs just wouldn't move and my arms were killing me from all the upper body work that I've done this week. Rain didn't bother me to be honest, prob helped to keep me cool!
Think that was my fastest ever run over a longish distance, so no wonder it felt bloody hard at the time!
Need to book Yorkshireman and yes sort out where to stay!
GET OUTSIDE NSC
XXX
Looks like you've all been busy training and doing good times etc.. very jelouse!!
I'm doing ok.. things are strange to say the least but I am getting there.
House gone on the market this weekend so it's DIY city here, did some mega cross training in Ikea today - had to go "glam" dressing shopping.. got some nice cushions and throws and stuff.. house looks wicked!! Typical it takes this for me to get off my arse!! LOL
Had an interview last week - wow what a place, one of the towns I want to live in - a PA job in a firm that is by the river, unbelievable location.. no idea if it was good or bad.. too quick I think - I was only in there half an hour... will hear in a couple of weeks
SNG - sorry to do this to you (think you already know) but I pulled out of Blackpool.. couldnt hack it becausr it's got too many memories - LOL. did a run the other week was like Darth Vader - couldnt breathe properly cos I got upset
Hope your training's at a pinacle now - I'm sure you'll be fab and trash last years time
Laura.. speedy girl - that's good going
Stoxy - hope your doing ok.. big hugs coming your way x
NSC - so did you go?
Emm's been racing today - lol.. whippet!!
yup, finally got out there - as the heavens opened no less, and managed 5 miles
you were much better than me Laura, but I didn't have my personal trainer with me lol!
woohoooooo emmi! looked on fetch and great result and report!
I know how to live!
Mind you I could actually get my lazy arse onto my "feature" exericse bike that's in prime position in the front room couldnt I
hey egg(((())))
snots a good excuse its never that nice to taste as you run is it!!
missed my 8 miler yesterday cos i couldnt be arsed so heading out the door in a min
enjoy the rest of the bank hols peeps
sng
yes - it was an ok run yesterday but of course I always analyse it later on and think about where I could have gone faster!
I still had a lot of miles in my legs and that killer 6 hour recce from last monday as was doubtful if i'd finish to be honest - did a warm up and my legs were really aching already!!
So - I set myself a target time of sub 1.30 just aimed to plod round and support the club by turning up!
The course as well as wet, windy and cold was a bit boring although really well run and marshalled it was laps and 1 road we went along 4 times!!
Hill at the end of the laps and by mile 9 I'd had enough!!
Anyway, pleased to say i managed to wobble in in 1:19 chuffed really as 11 minutes under target but of course I keep thinking I'm SURE I could have gone sub 1:15!!! Oh well m aybe the target for next time?!!
Hi Egg!!!
well done girls on the running and Egg on the x training!!
SnG - hope yoou get that 8 miler done - but are you tapering properly?? ;-)
No - running with snot isnt the greatest - might still just stick my trainers on and try... that's if I can find them.. my double wardrobes are now crammed with everything that used to be out on show - including my running kit!! LOL.. think I will have to re-organise some of that
Top time that Emm... you'll easily crack some off that if you continue the way your going
SNG - taper madness?!
ill do a couple of 4 ish milers this week but not much
only real effort will be refraining from running up ingleborough instead of walking on thursday!!
taper madness? whats that WOOF WOOF!!
At least my achillies tendon has calmed right down... and there's always Angelsey
Welcome back Egg - it's so lovely to see you :0))))
really glad to hear you're getting things sorted, boooo@the stinking cold thou!
Woohoo for bank holidays! (sorry that you're at work egg!)
Emmi you loony, you did a fantastic time yesterday, but we are our own worst critics aren't we :0)))
If you can pull a time like that out of the bag when you're not on top form, imagine what kind of time you'll get next time!!!
Went out last night to meet up with one of boyfs mates - went to this crazy place in Camden (kind of a tent, but not) and it was an alice in wonderland theme!
Got majorly caught in the wind and rain coming home, yukky!!!!
Just chilling out today, was considering a run, but it's looking manky outside again and I don't think I can face another run in the rain, especially as I was quite snotty this morning so I think It would be a bad idea!
XXX
nah - don't blame you ont he rest day! :-)
LOL.. almost proper "stuck" in today.. silly moo!!
DIY mental here, cant believe how much stuff there is to do.. but want the house to look respecitble as soon as people walk in so have to put some big effort in this week before main viewings start
Pooh weather - think I'll leave my comeback to tomorrow
LOL@sticky banister moment!
Yeah comeback can wait till tomorrow - it's horrible out there! I'm staying inside!
Typical eh? Bank holiday over and the sun comes out :-(
Rest day yesterday but track tonight :-)
Have a good day!!
Enjoy track tonight eeeek no wonder you're a whippet!!!
I did intervals today, despite not being much fun it actually makes the time go quicker cos you're waiting for the next interval/rest, so is kind of fun in a way!LOL
Got RW mag today in post and it says something on the front about 5k racing, so will be reading up on that! think my race will come round quicker than I think and although I'm making progress, I dont think i'm quite at the stage of being able to run 12kph for a full 5k.
Where are we all?
Track last night - 200m sprints followed by 1km efforts x 4
Lovely job!
Er - thought i'd let you know I'm racing on saturday bit of a last minute decison as couldn't decide what to do as in which 1 to do so I've opted for the
Wharfedale............off road..........Marathon!!
yep 26 miles and just over 3000ft (I think) but I'm told if i can do that Borrowdale recce then this is more than doable and I want to get the long miles in along with some climbing all in preparation for Borrowdale in August.
Can you do a blog on those just giving sites? I can't find out how to do one?
Egg - you still painting?
Good to see you back egg x
Wharfedale off road marathon!!!!!! Oh my word. I need some air........
Good luck emmi!
Hello everyone else!!!!
No training for me since circuit on Friday. Spent weekend sorting and packing stuff. It has actually turned out to be quite amicable. We went for a drink and a chat on Saturday night. We both got a lot of stuff off our chests which has really helped. My leaving seems to have woken him up a bit. So not quite as awkward as I expected which is a relief.
So off for a club run tonight. Hoping to do 6 miles but we will have to see what happens I think. Dont know when Im going to be able to do a longer run in prep for Freckleton half. Oh dear.Still I did take a chance entering with everything that was going on!
What a star you are!
Friggin 'ell emmi you're going to do a mara at the wkend, just like that!!! :0)))
.....I need air too!!!
You'll do brilliantly hun!
Ello Stoxy, glad things are ok :0)
Where the hell is everyone???!!.............
Usual run at lunchtime today with intervals interspersed cos I read in RW that short bursts of speed help with weightloss!LOL. So yesterday was proper interval sesh and today was weightloss interval sesh!
xx
Sounds good Laura. I'm sure it's worth giving it a go?!!
We did something similar last night in that it was 5 miles of stopping and starting and whizzing around in different directions!!
We had a charity treasure hunt (well clues on paper then leg it to a point on map to answer clue!)
Egg - I was with Keith and Caroline - we didn't win (!!!) but had a good laugh.
I got stung by a bee, Caroline fell in a slurry swamp and Keith got chased by a cow!! great fun!
Resting now I think until saturday - shins giving me a bit of grief last night as we ran for the most part on road and I had trail shoes on so the much needed support of my Brooks wasn't there :-( Think I'll do this mara in my road pumps as it's all trails really and I reckon for 26 miles it may be the best bet?!
WHERE IS EVERYBODY??
Glad it was a good night Emm.. when we did that treasure hunt the other week I wished I'd worn my trainers.. much easier on your feet and leg's
Road pumps probably the way ahead for the Marathon.. lol.. cant believe you!! You'll go and get a good time I bet. Just try not to race it - be interesting to read your report because 26 trail will be much different to 26 flat road I bet - more walk breaks probably needed but scenery will keep you going
SNG must be in deep taper madness and lost the ability to type!!!
I might try a small run Sunday in honour of would have been doing marathon..
