Congratultions cinnamon

Hi all, new to the site but please can I join in. I did 7.5 miles today, it was a proper slog in the heat. 89.45

HalleLouja · 03/08/2014 19:15

Well done cinnamon. Hoping for an uneventful pregnancy.

Blatherskite · 03/08/2014 18:16

Congratulations cinnamon! Grin

cinnamongreyhound · 03/08/2014 18:13

I did a very warm 6.5 miles today with a couple of walking breaks :( 81.95, we're racing along this month already!

I think I mentioned before we were ttc, well I'm pregnant and due 8th April! It will make me 13 weeks when I do rnr and about 20 weeks if I do Norwich half! Will have to see how it goes re running but I hope to carry on as longh as possible even if I'm just plodding!

Blatherskite · 03/08/2014 14:56

8.08 miles from me this morning. Training plan said to do a 1 hour 15 minute Long Slow Distance run and I definitely listened to the slow bit :)

Gives us 75.42

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 03/08/2014 12:50

Just popping in to add 4 miles from this morning 67.34.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Glad you enjoyed parkrun Halle. Good luck with your challenge kimmi.

emummy · 03/08/2014 10:50

4.4 miles this am, so63.34. Was really hard; have a hill race in 3 weeks so went for a run up that hill, only the path open just now is not the one I'll be racing on, it went up over twice the height over twice the distance. Was reduced to walking more than once, the only good bit was getting to hurtle downhill at high speed! Don't think I'll be taking up hill racing!
Well done on the streak so far karatekimmi, keep it up!

karatekimmi · 03/08/2014 06:43

Oh and this month - a 5k and a parkrun so far 6.2

58.94

karatekimmi · 03/08/2014 06:41

Back off Holidays now, so catching up.

briteside thinking of you and your family and wishing you a speedy recovery.

After reading an article, I stupidly decided to see if I can run everyday until I go back to school work on the 1st of September. I have currently done 9 days in a row, I am sure life will get in the way soon, and i'll miss one!!

The Half marathon is getting closer and closer and I haven't managed more than 9 miles yet, I really need to get a long run in. I was hoping to do one today, but it's looking unlikely.

Anyway enough rambling, on to house keeping last month I need to add 2:03:46 on so the final total so far is 152:52:27 I think!!

6 days, 6 hours, 52 mins and 27 seconds!!

Knackerelli · 02/08/2014 20:43

52.74 from a wet and slow parkrun from me. Slow and steady wins the day. Or at least finishes!

Glad it went well Hallelouja Smile

HalleLouja · 02/08/2014 14:15

It was fun and flat.

Feet am going to do the one at Hatfield House. I just need to register now. Think it should be flat too.

HalleLouja · 02/08/2014 14:11

So impressed I posted twice.

HalleLouja · 02/08/2014 14:10

So I did my first parkrun and was relatively impressed. My target was 30 mins and did it in 28.25. Struggled a bit but want to beat the time. Competitive moi?

49.64 miles

PulsesARagingEyesFullofWonder · 02/08/2014 13:55

Ah, so that makes it 46.54 miles, I think?

PulsesARagingEyesFullofWonder · 02/08/2014 13:54

3.2 miles from a very slow easy Park Run.
So happy to have done it, to have run with others, and to have returned home without any injuries! :)

DS (5 years old) wanted to run with me, so we did the first lap together. It gave me a chance to take it really easy and stretch alot. I then jogged the final 2 and a half laps at a really nice pace. Feel like I'm getting back finally...

No pain in hamstring :)

Runkittyrun · 02/08/2014 13:45

Long run at 6am this morning, quite muggy but reasonably cool with cloud cover. Still finding running in the heat difficult. Miles 14 doing a recce of the second lap of my HM course (only 6 weeks away now!).

New August total is 44.34.

How's everyones' running today, any parkruns?

ThursdayLast · 01/08/2014 22:59

Yay! We're back to miles!

Apologies for slack posting, real life getting in the way like a rotter. But it's August, so new month, new start for me.

I did 6.5 miles this evening so let's just add this up...30.34

(Happy to be corrected)

Blatherskite · 01/08/2014 22:55

6 miles from me tonight - my house to parkrun, the parkrun route and back as I was course checking ready for tomorrow. I even stopped and walked the last little bit to make it exactly 6 for easy adding :)

23.84 miles

feetheart · 01/08/2014 22:55

HalleLouja - enjoy and report back :)

HalleLouja · 01/08/2014 22:20

Am going to try and go.....

BlueChampagne · 01/08/2014 20:29

+10.84 (do we do decimal places?) from me, making 17.84 miles

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 01/08/2014 19:43

I can't make St Albans either I'm afraid Halle. Sad My mum has booked DS and I tickets to a thing in London tomorrow so we have to get going early.
Enjoy it if you go. Grin
