Oh, and a new PB - faster kilometre time slashed from 5:10 to 4:57!

postmanpatscat · 15/06/2014 11:02

Another 5.5km from me this morning making 900.3 km

Where are you all?!

postmanpatscat · 14/06/2014 22:37

5k to add from me making 894.8 km

Well done morrigu and good luck tomorrow's racers.

cinnamongreyhound · 14/06/2014 22:02

Well done runners and good luck racers for tomorrow!

I make it the same as you karatekimmi. I think t was just something to aim for. We did miles last time and km this so I don't see why we can't go for hours next time :)

No running for me today, RD at parkrun and then a groupon spa afternoon after that. Will hopefully do 6+ miles tomorrow if it doesn't interfere too much with Father's Day!

Chopstheduck · 14/06/2014 21:51

889.8

A woefully short run from me - got side tracked by a gorgeous husky running lose on a 40mph road. Caught him, took him home and the dog warden collected him. Fortunately was microchipped and has been reunited with his owner :)

Fishandjam · 14/06/2014 20:57

That IS the Hunts 10k Josh. It is tomorrow, isn't it?!

karatekimmi · 14/06/2014 20:32

a parkrun 5k to add on for me (I never think to include my warmup running)

I think there was an error earlier up and the correct total is 885.35 including my 5k, if someone wants to check?

I haven't back read previous threads so feel free to tell me to butt out if we are totalling for a reason, but maybe we could do amount of time running one month, so us slow coaches get to add in more!!

fingersonbuzzers · 14/06/2014 19:55

Good luck fish!

Well done on your pb morrigu, that's a very impressive improvement!

seymore I haven't drunk since New Year and I know my running has improved. Going to keep it for occasional nights out from now on when I start again.

Didn't make parkrun this morning so did 5k while DH put the kids to bed this morning so that's 875.35

Morrigu · 14/06/2014 19:08

Good luck for tomorrow fish

5 parkrun to add 870.35. pb day so well chuffed as I knocked nearly two mins off my previous.

Seymore I stopped drinking when I stopped smoking and started running. The odd time I will have a shandy and once in the last six months I've had a glass of wine. I'd rather run that bit further or faster the next day and truth be told older age meant drinking was making me feel a bit grim, running makes me feel good. Easy choice for me to make.

Blatherskite · 14/06/2014 17:23

Good Luck fish. You'll be great.

thefemaleJoshLyman · 14/06/2014 16:59

Good luck fish. Are you running the Hunts 10k too?

SeymoreButts · 14/06/2014 14:45

Good luck fish!!

City to Surf is on the 10th August, I prob need to set my sights on a 10k first?!

HalleLouja · 14/06/2014 14:32

Fish I was terrified this time last week and survived. I felt like I was taking a driving test.

originalpiratematerial · 14/06/2014 14:11

Good luck fish although I'm sure you'll be fine!

emummy · 14/06/2014 13:45

Good luck fish, you can do it! I have my first 10k next Sunday at the race for life, am a wee bit nervous too. Dd1 plans to come and laugh at me doing the warm up!

Fishandjam · 14/06/2014 13:28

865.35 with my 500m jog to and from my Parkrun marshalling position.

Wish me luck for the 10k tomorrow. I am slightly terrified...

Blatherskite · 14/06/2014 13:00

I used to do 10k every Tuesday until DH changed jobs and I had to change running clubs pirate Grin

There is a lady who has offered to do the extra miles on top of the usual Monday night club run with me and I really need to take her up on the offer as I'm missing that middling-long weekly run. I seem to be either doing 5k or a 90 minute long run and nothing in the middle at the moment.

I'm considering signing up for a 6th half marathon for the year too!

HalleLouja · 14/06/2014 10:41

Feet I did have a good view of your Winston's Wish top most of the way round the zoo. Well until 8k that is.

Good luck tomorrow.

HalleLouja · 14/06/2014 10:39

Another 5k here to 869.35.

When in August is it Seymore its a long month Grin you might be able to get to 14k by then.

SeymoreButts · 14/06/2014 05:21

Wow, you lot are very impressive! I've just had a look at the Sydney City to Surf race but it is in August and 14km, I can only manage 7km at the moment. It's probably not achievable is it?

6.7km from me today so the total is 864.35

I went out for dinner last night and had 2 glasses of wine, I don't think it helped! If I'm going to start running every other day I may have to cut out booze altogether!

BetsyBell · 13/06/2014 21:13

Oops! Many pages behind

857.65

BetsyBell · 13/06/2014 21:12

Very short run tonight - we were doing a short distance but at a faster pace to try and improve our fitness levels. 3.5k

573.8

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 13/06/2014 20:56

Managed to get an averagely paced 5k done after work, taking us to 854.15. Got lots on this weekend so doubt I'll get a run in until Monday now.

ThursdayLast · 13/06/2014 20:30

16k to add from me this evening.
'Twas rather hard work, but I sneaked in under a 10 minute mile average so I'm pretty pleased with that given there is no flat road in Cornwall and this heat!
849.15
Have to do a parkrun assessment in the morning Smile

Standingonlego · 13/06/2014 20:11

Sorry to hear you are still a bit achy feetheart but hope you have fun as superheroes - that batman DS of yours is super fast Grin

I have a measley 2km to add from the treadmill bit of my gym session today so taking us to 833.15 - every step counts i guess

Planning to parkrun in the morning, looking up the Northampton colour run and DH has suggested this 10k in a couple of weeks time (near my parents) so need to keep the legs going
