Hello all! Can't believe we are on Thread 6....

Welcome duchess and well done on getting so far with C25K. One third of the way through!

I did a very slow, hot & painful 4km yesterday. Today is a rest day and tomorrow I will try again.

I have just entered the Cabbage Patch 10miler in October and am looking at a 10k race in Richmond Park next month. I do find that the races can be quite expensive and the fees add up! Anyone else find that?

That's great original what's the weather like where you are? It's scorching in w.london already, I'm secretly glad today is a rest day DDs day off pre school Grin

1535.26 with my 4.1 km this morning. What a fab morning for running! Wish they could all be just like this Grin. I did a Garmin 1k PB as well (not had Garmin very long).

Thanks for the new thread Sirzy :)

My next run is probably Friday. I am now officially aiming to build up to 10k (only up to 6k at the moment) with a deadline of the week of early September - it's my personal fitness challenge goal for my next Tae Kwon Do belt, which means I have to do it if I want my green belt. Just got my orange belt last week!

I've been here since March postman Grin

HalleLouja · 25/06/2014 06:58

Not sure why I posted twice. Stoopid phone.

HalleLouja · 25/06/2014 06:57

On Sunday and yesterday I did 9k in total or thereabouts 1531.16.

Yesterday's run wasn't the greatest but still better than nothing.

TessTackle · 24/06/2014 21:54

You came Duchess! I'm only a day ahead of you so I'm here for you to moan at.
So is everyone else, they're all such a great support.

originalpiratematerial · 24/06/2014 21:37

Ooh there you all are [waves]. Welcome Duchess!

Morrigu that's absolutely fantastic! I'd be chuffed to little mint balls with that. I'd be snogging passersby, never mind high-fiving them Blush.

fingersonbuzzersistrainingfora · 24/06/2014 21:06

A quick 5k in the midday heat yesterday from me, giving us 1508.66

cinnamongreyhound · 24/06/2014 21:03

Thanks Sirzy, that was close! I went away for a few hours and the thread was full!

Transferring total over from old thread 1503.66

DuchessFanny · 24/06/2014 21:02

Hello ! I've been sent here from my c25k thread after having a bit of a wobble (w3d3) and wondering if I could complete it.
I've had some brilliant support and told if I'm running, I'm a runner - so I'm here joining a thread about running

< never thought I'd see the day ! >

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 24/06/2014 20:15

Thank you Sirzy Smile

I haven't run since the weekend's exertions, but swam yesterday and today Smile

Well done runners!

ThursdayLast · 24/06/2014 19:49

Oh sirzy thank god!
I was getting worried then.
Dunno why, I haven't done any exercise AT ALL today!

Fishandjam · 24/06/2014 19:47

Aha, new home! No running or bootcamp for me at the moment. I'm either brewing a bug, or totally doped on antihistamines (non-drowsy, but I'm having to overlap every 12 hours. I ache all over and can barely drag myself around. Sometimes I hate summer!)

pootlebug · 24/06/2014 19:27

ooh, a thread I'm not behind on yet! Grin 6km running with the buggy this morning....by then 2 year old was fed up and demanding to go to playgroup

TessTackle · 24/06/2014 19:22

Thread six already!
