Runners thread number 6

That should be his sa not as, blimmin autocorrect!!

I got her when my ex left me as he didn't like dogs. She was then with my through meeting dh, moving twice, having both my babies and starting my business. She was 12 1/2 but she was fit and well one day and gone the next so it was tough to cope with! Dh forced me into a new dog too soon to fill the physical gap and it took me a while to bond with him, he's also had his problems but I love him and because of his as we now have two dogs!!! Both love running which is great, my girl used to hide if she saw me in trainers after she's been on a few runs with me!

Ooooo 30 weeks standingonlego, that sounds good don't get too excited both mine were 14 days overdue!!!! Will try to remember though :)

Don't worry I'm not going to go all out running. I plan to take it slowly and see how it goes (esp with the dodgy hip) and concentrate on increasing my fitness at the gym on the machines, not running. I think once I've been off the cigs a few days I'll notice a huge difference as it's more breathing I was struggling with obviously

Thanks cinnamon and sorry to hear about your girl too. I'm absolutely gutted truth be told as she was my first baby before the kids came along. Tonight is the first night the dc are away since and I came realise it's the first night I've been totally alone as normally she's pootering about the place.

6.2 miles to add then for August. One very hot 30 holiday run and todays. 231.2

I completely missed your exciting news cinnamon huge congratulations - with that due date there is a chance I may share my 40th birthday with mini cinnamons arrival :)

We have a parkrunner with a bump, she did brilliantly and ran up to 30 weeks with no worries. Just keep up to date with your sports bra sizing

Sorry, missed the last post 225

morrigu take is slow, re think your half marathon plan - you don't have to run it all, maybe walk some? I read somewhere that if you walk for a minute very time you finish a mile most people would get a faster time that running the whole thing maybe marathons, not halves!!

Two 1 miles from me, day 15 of the streak, still going on!! Parkrun tomorrow, and some hills on Sunday!!

210.7

Thanks Morrigu x-posts :)

That sucks Morrigu! I lost my girl last may and was heartbroken, I still at times now if something reminds me of her or I see an unexpected photo :(. You sound determined, but don't injure yourself trying to get up to hm in a short time better to do what you can and still be able to run afterwards. We're in miles this month :)

And yay for motivation ThursdayLast!!

Just skimming through the messages - huge congratulations cinnamon, I hope your pregnancy goes well for you and how awesome you are still running

Haven't been on in aggess so will have lots to catch up on. Hope all are well. What are we counting - miles or km this month?

I've messed up and what with holidays and my beloved pooch dying I've been drinking a bit, smoking a lot and hardly running at all bar the odd stop/start 5k on holiday as it was too bloody hot to do any more. As for my physio exercises bah. My half marathon is in 5 weeks - I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that

F-king stupid of me to pick up the ciggies again! Slapped a patch on today and near killed myself running 5km and only about three weeks ago I was doing 10.5miles. Have a few childfree days coming up so going to hit the gym and running big time and see if I can pick up some fitness again.

Did it

5 miles plus strides = 6 miles = 223

Dag nammit my runner partner tonight has cried off.
Hmmm, am I going to be motivated enough to run on my own...???

Well I was going to do a 10 miler this afternoon, but it's hosing it with rain, with thunder and lightning ... so as I'm not training for anything specific, I'm having a day off! I don't mind getting wet but this is just silly.

My weekly total is 8.3 miles, taking us to 217

Eau - hope the physio's massage isn't to ouchy and gets you further on the way to recovery.

All I can say is 'argggh, owwww, speed work'. The beginners speed work course didn't run last night but one of the coaches said he thought I would be fine with the ordinary one. I was sort of but it was HARD.

I can add approx 3 miles so 208.7

Been AWOL from thread for a while, add on 3.2k for me - a diversion from normal route as was away with work but was nice to explore. That takes us to 205.7

Glad things are improving EauRouge and hope sports massage isn't too painful. Keep checking in with us :)

Another post-work 5k tonight, taking us to 202.5.

Cinnamon I missed your previous post - congrats!

199.4 as I did 4.1 miles tonight, I did a bit of hill Sprints in that to help my pace so was very hot afterwards, I didn't feel like going but am pleased I made myself :)

eau hope the physio helps and you are back out soon.

195.3 with my 5k. That I did just to prove to myself that yesterday was a blip

Take it carefully Eau, when you're back we want you back for keeps please.

Well, hopefully one day I'll be able to join in again. The latest is that my core strength is much better (and it wasn't that hard either!), but my lower back muscles are still very tight and it's messing with my sciatic nerve and causing me to be wonky. So still in a bit of pain even after short walks. I don't even dare go running yet to see what happens.

Back to physio next week for another fun sports massage. Ow....

Another 4 from me for my regular Thursday morning route :) 192.03

3 from me this morning so now 188.03. Never mind Thursday, just forget about yesterday and carry on! It happened to me last week, only I didn't even get out of bed!

Haha, thanks Cardiff, Cinnamon, Kimmi!

You know when you just see a lot of little jobs all looming before you before you can relax for the day? Yeah that.

I think I'm going to kick the plan I've been following to the kerb too. Sometimes I enjoy the challenge of a longer run, more sprints etc but sometimes I just want to squeeze in a 5k to keep the joints moving.

I think I got daunted last night. Never mind.

Yay for your hip blatherskite!

I think it's because I have a race when I'll be 13 weeks Bluebird89 :)

Tomorrow's a new day ThursdayLast!

Good luck with our club run Softkittywarmkitty!

I've just spent an hour running up and down the nightmare hill section of the MK marathon. No idea how far I went until I upload my Garmin but I'm really pleased to report that my hip held out

It's definitely getting better!
