Hi all Sounds like lots of good running going on out there today
14.71m for me today - bit of a slow plod as legs still heavy from Friday's race, very hilly route and baking hot, so didn't push it! 2:04, 8.27 pace. On a positive, there's a monster of a long hill at around the 8m point and last year I usually ended up walking part of it- didn't even cross my mind today
MY apologies for not being able to make the AGM. I'm travelling back from FRance that day. Would have liked to have gone and had a few beers afterwards
LTS - thanks for asking, I'm finally doing great again!! Managed a whole week's running this week, first time since Easter. Do a couple more and hopefully come back on a Tuessday.
Thanks for the heads up about the Drovers run, I am chuffed - I really wanted to do it, for some odd reason and knew there was no way I would be ready in 4 weeks. November is perfect!!
BB - I'm in the same position as you, (Overweight and unfit - that is), but hopefully now can just get my head down, without any further problems. I am off in couple of weeks for a week, so if you would like some company then, for some day time off road runs, let me know.
a big thanxs to u all for last nites bash we had a great time
sorry we shot of without saying by it was 23.30 & the last train was 23.49 if we missed that we would have to knock PR5's hotel
AP great company mate hope you enjoyed our sesh on the king cobra did u know it was *5 proof in 2 pint bottles had a lovely meal today curtesy of my son washed down with some ale then back 2 his for a nap
Well done to all the 5k racers yesterday - what a damp & horrid day! Some good times, especially sounds like PR5, PD & SWD had a good race - well done.
Hope the curry night was good yesterday & you all enjoyed yourselves? Really looking forward to the next social.
SWD - went to message you on here, but like a sensible person you dont have that feature enabled Just to say thanks for the toast - was lovely to have that chat in Tesco afterwards. Well done for your run too - was that a pb over the distance?
AP - glad things are getting better, yes I thought I hadn't seen you for a while & you went quiet on here too.
MM61 - bed was great, had a sleep this afternoon as well. Maybe next time? Must be the sunshine keeping people off here. AP - now enough excuses! Get down training! It's the only way to get better!! No more "a couple more sessions" etc that's what the club is for.... To get better! Hope everyone has had a great day... How stupid is this weather! LTS - hope the calf is better? Even if PD is your favourite and shouting for him and just being polite clapping me!
Enjoyed last night lets hope we can do it again soon.Drunk a bit more than i was planning to and was surprised that i managed to get up in time to go for a run up AA.I haven`t sweated so much in my life and that`s saying something lol
Glad i done it now though.GG,PR5,FM,RB and MF managed to get me round.I had to hold back a bit as i was very tight due to yesterdays race and last nights drinking Last thing i want is an injury!
JD - Cheers mate.During the race i didn`t think i was going to do it but i did so happy with that
LTS - No problem.Yeah it was really nice talking to you too I didn`t know my PM was switched off.I`ve enabled it now so maybe i`m not that sensible
I think you did the right thing sitting out yesterdays race.Must of been hard watching from the sidelines but if you raced and made your calf worse you would of been out longer.
Yeah it was a PB for that distance.My plan for the rest of the year was sub 20 5k and a sub 1:30 half marathon.Got the 5k but the tougher task of the half marathon is to come.Roll on October
Hi all sounds like your curry night was a great success. Will try to make next one but I am hopeless on beer.Glad all you guys enjoyed the 12 this morning. Been busy all day since ,went swimming,then up with family for Sunday roast, then walk in AA just back in time to mow lawn before tomorrows thunderstorms. Tired boy now bed for me.
went for a short run this morning, but pushed myself out of my comfort zone. My pace is improving. It was 8:38. Its usually in the 9's or 10's. But thats cos I just been running in a level thats not uncomfortable. So I ran 3.59km in 00:19:22. I'm happy with that as I know I worked hard for my level of runner.see u all in about 2wks.
Bit of a rush to fit in tonight's 6m before my sports massage appointment- but I managed it Lovely cool evening- great change from this morning and yesterday Long may it continue!
My next race is the 5K park run in two weeks time,
Had a weigh in this morning & i lost 3 lbs ,I am down to 12 st 7 lbs so that means I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks,my target is below 11 st .So i still have a way to go but little steps up in running should do the trick I hope

MM61 - how is you?
