Yay for the run and how horrible for the car accident runtothehills, hope it doesn't get any more severe.

Well done OhOneOhTwoOhThree! Fab pb Smile

emummy · 22/06/2015 10:21

Well done ohone, a fantastic result! And you lastqueen, great stuff!
Sorry about your accident runtothehills, make sure you keep moving your neck to get rid of the stiffness.
Oh dear TriJO, that sounds painful. Hope you feel better soon.
2.8 from me this morning, a short circuit up and down 2 large hills in town, had intended to do 3 hills but still not quite right after the cold and I really needed the loo! Practically sprinted home!

Tree root 1, TriJo 0. Tripped on one while running on Saturday and took a very heavy fall. Have loads of road rash on my shins and a nasty cut on my left hand. Nothing broken though, thankfully!

Runtothehills that's grim I got hit about 4 years ago it's horrid isn't it :(

Neeko · 21/06/2015 21:13

Well done OhOne and Lastqueen

Ohone getting on your bike is probably one of the best recuperation exercises you can do. You'll be fine. Well done again, you should be very proud of yourself! I'd rather do one day of running steadily than 3 consecutive (and very different) races.

Thank you Anglaise I am pretty shattered now, but went out for a little walk in the evening sunshine with DH to keep my legs from seizing up. I am not looking forward to getting on my bicycle tomorrow morning Grin

Brilliant Ohone great news that you smashed last year's performance. And have a nice bath and a big Wine or Brew to relax after the marathon weekend. You must be shattered.
Runtothehills you poor thing, I hope you are OK and it is only shock and nothing serious. I hope you feel better soon and I'm sure you'll be OK for next weekend. Flowers
Well done on your 10k lastqueen, maybe next time have a rest day before your race? It is a sort of golden rule in my club that the last run is at least 36 hours before a race and of low effort and strides only.
9,4 miles from my run this morning, plus 4 from Runtothehills =
882.99

runtothehills you poor thing. Hope your neck will be OK. Our car was written off a few years ago when someone careered into me (I'd stopped at a pedestrian crossing which he hadn't noticed because he was in a hurry to get to work).

runtothehills · 21/06/2015 18:33

Welcome banging, feel free to continue delurking Grin

Relaxed 4 miles today in the rain Smile, followed by being hit from behind in my car Sad. Feel very stiff and sore especially my neck. Need lots of stretches, ibuprofen and warm bath. At least no major harm done (me and girls ok, though car a bit worse for wear). Fingers crossed all will have settled by next weekend.

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 21/06/2015 18:26

HM went almost to plan (I was aiming for 12 minute miles, as it's off road and undulating) and I finished in 2:42. I could have been a minute or two faster, but I stopped for a chat at the last two water stations with some other runners for some mutual encouragement, and needed a quick wee stop behind a tree towards the end as I just couldn't wait any longer Smile

But I thrashed my last year's time and I WASN'T LAST Grin Grin Grin

26.38 garmin miles = 869.59 (???)

cinnamongreyhound · 21/06/2015 18:07

Perfect example of a bad run followed by a great run lastqueenofscotland!

Hope all went ok with your stiffness OhOneOhTwoOhThree!

Hi Bangingthedrums!

lastqueenofscotland · 21/06/2015 14:13

Managed my 10k today in 54 mins so happy with that felt very tired the whole way round but happy with that time! My app said it was 6.31 miles rather than 6.2

Mine and bangings miles make 843.21

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 21/06/2015 09:18

Hello Banging

Hope you are feeling better today lastqueen

Good to see you Poppy!

I'm a bit stiff today, and should have gone to bed sooner than I did last night, but am otherwise looking forward to the final day of my challenge Smile

13.2 from me

wheels utterly fell off 8 miles in, don't think i was hydrated enough.
feel very very poorly now and have a 10k race tomorrow. :(

830.7

PoppyShakespeare · 20/06/2015 16:22

well done ohone!

have 2 to add, they can't accuse me of overdoing things:
815.5 + 2 = 817.5

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 20/06/2015 16:11

Halle yes you must do it next year!

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 20/06/2015 15:32

Today went well but boy am I feeling it now. Smile I was 10 minutes faster than last yearGrin but last year was baking hot and today was cool with light drizzle. The organisers changed the course a bit too, so there were more loops instead of the out and back over narrow paths which meant constant leaping out of the way of faster runners coming the other way.

LornMowa · 20/06/2015 13:44

4.7 from me which includes some running to and from the Parkrun.

815.5

HalleLouja · 20/06/2015 13:29

Ohone ignore me. I have just googled and found it. Am tempted for next year.

HalleLouja · 20/06/2015 13:26

Ohone is it in Port Sunlight? I love that place. I lived in Chester (for a couple of years) and my ex was from the Wirral.

Carmenandgetit · 20/06/2015 12:55

Thanks cinnamon Blush

It is 10miles. Did my 5k run on Wednesday and got back on the treadmill yesterday and ached a bit, so just going to swim this week to avoid doing any damage. The hopefully back to running next weekend.

Good luck for Friday

HalleLouja · 20/06/2015 12:37

3.1 beautiful parkrun miles. Totally not fast but lovely.

810.8.

PoppyShakespeare · 20/06/2015 12:22

and cuddle for cinnamon
