runners united: no speed limits (LFDT), all running all out for fun/glory etc

Rhet sent me a Garmin ner ner ner ner ner.
I've got a Garmin,
I'm gonna win.
Rhet is not a criminal.

If I can run on a Tarmac road I do as a preference to a pavement.

Debi grass or sand running the best for your limbs then treadmill and trails then road (Tarmac) then pavement being the worst (crushed concrete). Maybe find a park and try some soft ground before a treadmill and do some jogging around it.

is treadmill running better for the shins? I wish my friend the sports physio would hurry up and get home from her skiing trip (where she's a guide for a blind skier in the world championships!) so I can get some free advice.

You know what - I forget the whole world can read this thread. I feel like its just us chatting. Shit bit too much info.

Not profession(!) (fecking phone) should read progression.

Debi yep, you went too far in your profession to run more. Lay off it - the shin splints will go but let them repair. Out of all those classes I'd go for circuits BUT don't do the sprints. Second choice would be body pump.

Debi....I do Body Pump twice a week and love it. It works every muscle group in turn using weights which means that the parts of you that running doesn't tone get a good workout. It really changes your body shape, toning everything.

Have looked at the local leisure centre classes. I could do body pump, body combat, circuits or legs, bums & tums. Any thoughts?
Was thinking maybe 1 class and 2 runs a week till Christmas then up it to 3 runs and the class in Jan.

Argh fanny, what was on the photos?

So how do you upload Garmin data for the world (you lot) to see? I want to show you one graph just because I like the shape of it.

I've been looking at my miles over the past 3 weeks (since starting again properly after last lot of shin splints and duathlon) and I don't think I've upped it too quickly.
Week 1: Sun- Duathlon
Thurs- 4 miles
Sat- 3 miles
Week 2: Mon- 4.3 miles (I thought I'd run twice but maybe counted the Sun of wk 3 in this week)
Week 3: Sun- 4.6 miles (+ 1.5 v slowly with ds2)
Wed- 3.5 miles
Fri- 5 miles
Week 4: Sun- 6 miles
Wed- 3.3 miles (yesterday)

Mmm maybe week 2 to 3 was a bit of a jump.

Fanny pics .

One of the mums at school had a boob job, and her dd took great delight in telling the whole school about mummy's new boobies . apparently her mummy had to show her old boobies to a man who agreed they needed to be fixed, so he made mummy some new ones!

Hahahahaha I was about to post the same re fanny pics....

DrNo you're gorgeous as are your family. You and DH look so well matched! I can tell that just from a photo, oh yes I can.

Talking of "fanny" pics.... DD1 just told a Mum from school who dropped her off after Harriers and was chatting to DH and I in our kitchen that "my dad has photos of my mum's boobs and bum on his phone... LOOK !!" oh my
Fucking god. Sweat pored down my chest.

fanny pics on profile seeing as you asked

Now there's a line you never thought you'd ever read

I will defo vote for you both!

monkey, having seen you on fb I would have to disagree. I think you look lovely!!!

I am average height but with hideously short legs, they are also very heavy no matter what weight I am. Sigh... I have crappy muscle tone, so will get working on this when I get back training. Guy at running club said I had a runner's build. Compact, he said. Not how I see myself, but think my self image is not maybe reflective of reality. Will be interested to see what I look like once baby here. I love being pregnant and like the way I look when I am, but afterwards is a different matter, ha ha!

The important question is, sfx, how many pens did you snaffle?

fanny pics on profile seeing as you asked Seriously, am not swishy and gorgeous so don't build your hopes up, am just me I also never recievd an email confirming my entry, and had trouble uploading a pic. There is a thread on the RW site - seems a few folk had issues.

Anyways, we are ALL gorgeous in our own way. Can you feel teh love on here tonight?!

Phew, just done the Shred with DH after we put the boys to bed. Goodness knows what anyone would think if they heard us, lots of puffing and panting and sniggering at the cheesy lines (especially the butt kicks "she is kicking herself IN the ASS quite LITERALLY!" anyone?). Was a bit hard doing it after circuits earlier, but OK. I feel I deserve a drink now.

I'm still (whispers) 2.5 stone overweight after ds3. Really bothers me that the weight dropped off fairly easily after ds1 and ds2 but not this time. I need a good arse kicking.

If I'm brutally honest I'm pretty challenged appearance wise (that's not false modesty, I honestly know where I am in the pecking order!) BUT the advantage of never having been a looker is (1) I'm very comfortable with ageing because I don't feel I've got amazing looks to lose, and (2) my DH not only bizarrely thinks that I'm an absolute stunner (should have gone to Specsavers), but married me for my sparkling personality and wit (!)

Hi all. Good running and er other chats. I haven't been this week - decided it best to give my shin splint a week off before proper training for half marathon begins

My goal for next year - complete cambidge half and Blenheim tri. Not sure I'm really capable of a sub 2 hr half!

Had a crazy day today as flew up to Glasgow to see some clients which involved getting up at 4.45am ... On the train home now and nik nak a roonied now. Dp apparently has wine in - hurrah!

Glasgow weather was dreich btw!

Your dd is doing really well rhet, sounds like she's well and truly got it. Dd2 shut herself in the bathroom last night to do a poo standing by the toilet (in nappy). I guess she'll get there before she's a teenager....

I too am of stocky muscley build. I tell myself its better to be stocky and toned than stocky and flabby but I would quite like thin, long legs. Neither of those is ever going to happen though sadly, the more i run the bulkier they get.

Glad the pta stuff sorted out hat

oh and PTA I am on it, but only as general bod no specific job, just mucking in when needed, they all seem reasonably sensible and welcoming, meetings are open to all of course, might go for school governor in a couple of years.

Thanks, fanny - I should be ok today, I've just been for a mad run and Garmin and the app reckons I've clawed back about 550 calories! Dinnertime!! Yes, that sounds very sensible. Ryvita and low-fat philly for lunch tomorrow, I reckon. Salad, blah blah. Yes, no bother

peach no, not anymore. We stopped when DS was 15 months and he's now 27 months. Jings -just realised that means we stopped a year ago! Time flies...

hello very quick browse

happy to vote for one or both of you, can always ask friends to cast extra vote if only one allowed

goals funnily enough really on my mind today, need time to settle down and actually write them up and structure some kind of plan for the next few months

take it no baby news?

will attempt to catch up
