3 miles up a hill and then some fartlek, so 401.3 I think. It was quite cool, about 10 degrees I think, first time for a while my hands have felt cold on a run!

cinnamongreyhound · 14/08/2014 21:38

Of course it counts blatherskite!

I am too zombiesheep but I will be 20 weeks pregnant by then now so not sure if I will do it, time will tell!

Hi everyone I am back! Signed up for the Norwich Half Marathon in November!

I always lurk here but I'm going to start posting more so I can track my progress! Today I ran 7.2 miles in just over an hour. So that's... 398.3 I think. :)

postmanpatscat · 14/08/2014 18:39

Cardiff that sounds like it spurred you on!

Swimming in the hotel pool this afternoon inspired me to do my own mini triathlon! I did a 5k run then 8k on the bike so 391.1 miles

Blatherskite · 14/08/2014 10:05

Just realised that my cool down run is missing from my Garmin. I could potentially add another mile but I'd be guessing.

If it's not on Garmin/Fetch/other running site, it doesn't count right? Wink

Blatherskite · 14/08/2014 09:55

That's lovely Cardiff :)

Blatherskite · 14/08/2014 09:54

Haven't updated for a while. Between running and the school holidays, things have been a bit hectic!

I did 3.9 miles worth of running up and down hills last Wednesday which I never got round to adding, 3.2 miles for parkrun on Saturday, I did an 8 mile run on Monday and another 3.6 miles of hills last night so I have 18.7 miles to add to our total making it 388

cinnamongreyhound · 14/08/2014 07:32

Another 4 miles with doggies this morning, who are both fast asleep now!! 369.3

Cardiff I love that image!
And betsy your run sounds lovely

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 13/08/2014 21:46

So total is 365.3. Smile

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 13/08/2014 21:45

Hi everyone. I hope you are all enjoying your running. I have managed 6.4 miles so far this week and I still have my long run to go!
I ran past the Salvation Army hostel this evening and all the people were sitting out on the steps with their cans of special brew and their dangerous dogs on bits of string. And they all gave me a massive cheer!!

BetsyBell · 13/08/2014 21:21

Doh! I've done it again - adding on from wrong page...

Ooh and only 1 decimal place now:

358..9

BetsyBell · 13/08/2014 21:20

Delightful evening run, perfect temperature, beautiful evening sun over fields with silhouettes of hopping bunnies.

Bliss. 5.28 miles which felt like 5k (though I was ready to stop!)

....

103.03

ThursdayLast · 13/08/2014 19:42

5 miles plus sprints make it 6.1 from me

353.6

Glad the little cinnadog was only temporarily AWOL
And well done emummy I have a serious love/hate relationship with hills!

emummy · 13/08/2014 16:06

347.5 after a surprisingly fast run up horrible hill this afternoon. Would have felt a bit less horrible but I went out too fast so had to walk up bits of the hill!

cinnamongreyhound · 13/08/2014 09:44

4 miles from me this morning, little dog went missing for just enough time for me to start to panic but came back looking exhausted and flopped on the floor! 343.7

HalleLouja · 12/08/2014 22:55

I mistyped and just realised. Doh.

cinnamongreyhound · 12/08/2014 22:42

Well done everyone running, I'm going at stupid o clock tomorrow. Think there's been some x-posts we're going backwards! 339.7

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 12/08/2014 22:10

Went to my first running club session tonight and I loved it! It's a beginner's group which helps, and met some lovely people. About four miles run, so we're now at 328.7.

HalleLouja · 12/08/2014 22:04

5.81 ran with running club. 324.7 it was the nice and slow group but we did the distance. Was my first run in the running club.

postmanpatscat · 12/08/2014 21:27

A treadmill 10k from me to add. Had to go for a pee after 2k though and then jump back on! That's 329.9 altogether.

Bluebird89 · 12/08/2014 17:56

Been very lazy with my runs this past week but managed 5.1 tonight. Really enjoyable run. Total 323.7

cinnamongreyhound · 11/08/2014 22:41

I won't be at your changeover point until 5.30 then runkittyrun, I marshalled Thetford change over last year and runners came in from 1am until 4.30am so a bit gap even that far in! It's the pressure of letting everyone else down. I'm going to recce my route on 7th sept I think. I did a 10 miler in 1hr 33 the week after my last hm which wasn't bad, sure you'll be fine!

Runkittyrun · 11/08/2014 22:22

Not sure how speedy we will be this year cinnamon, one of our teams won something last year (nothing to do with me!). This year I think ours is a mixed team, my start time is 1640 but that's a guestimate. I'm also nervous - will my legs still work??
Feetheart, the faster group sounds like you really enjoyed it Smile and a beach run on your birthday will be cool!

feetheart · 11/08/2014 22:16

4.7 miles from me tonight. Ran with much a faster group at running club and think I may have found where I fit :) They will certainly keep me on my toes and push me - came in at just under 10mins a mile over the route and I'm pretty sure if I had been on my own I wouldn't have managed that. However I can't get back for another 2 weeks now as we are on holiday from Thurs-Weds and I miss the following Thursday, which is the annual club handicap race, as we are off to see Bellowhead for my birthday :o
I do have parkrun tourism planned though and, hopefully, a run along the beach on my birthday.

Total - 318.6
