Half is in 2 weeks time. Definitely going for the enjoy and get round somehow approach.
Early evening run with most of it still in the light. Did also think it might be time to dig out the running shorts soon.

Happy plodder describes me too! Frosty here today so cut run short as the paths were a bit dodgy. Beautiful day though. When’s your half @IRun4Me?

Cavagirl that sort of time is something I’m in awe of but could never get anywhere near. I’m more of a happy plodder especially the older I’m getting.
Nice long run this morning as half marathon prep. It didn’t feel too bad.

It’s ok @Cavagirl, that sort of time is well beyond me too!
@Mostlyjustrunning I think Covid didn’t hit me too hard, I wasn’t ever particularly tired so feel pretty much back to normal.
Hill reps today, felt quite good.

Well done emummy on getting out.
One of those runs today where I seemed to be running in to the wind whichever direction I went

Steady longer run, felt more tired today but hopefully on the right track. Got a trail 10k in 3 weeks that I am definitely lowering my expectations for!

Great running @Amaura!
Zebras! Wow!
Glad you’re enjoying your runs @IRun4Me.
First run after covid for me today in the pouring rain. Took it easy, felt fine now coughing like mad!

Well amaura brilliant achievements.
That looks amazing giraffeski
A couple of runs to add. Did a lovely long one set off in the sunshine then as I got to the river the sun went in and the wind picked up. Had to run a long an exposed bank in to the wind. But still enjoyed it so much.

Finally done some maths, 27 miles to add.

Second race went well, got target pace despite still being tired from Sunday

Well done Amuara that is a fantastic achievement, all the training is paying off. Good luck this evening.
Enjoy the break giraffeski

Enjoying the lighter mornings and ran 9 miles part road part through fields. Misjudged the ground and got the lovely sensation of freezing muddy water seeping into your shoes!

Well done @giraffeski! and @Doublethecuddles

I had my last XC of the year, it was hilly! 250m in just over 4 miles. Had my best finish yet and our team won first division so I have a medal. I’m not normally a medal person but I’ve never made the A team before.

Have another race this afternoon (team relay). Although I’d rather sleep

(Will add mileage later)

giraffeski · 08/03/2022 18:30

Thanks all! Now out in Cape Town so thinking about stopping drinking some time soon so I can run some point in the morning Grin

Well done on on @Doublethecuddles!

Mostlyjustrunning · 07/03/2022 18:38

Well done @giraffeski!

How are you @emummy? I’m now day 11 and free! Short walks for a while before I even think about running!

Doublethecuddles · 07/03/2022 14:04

Hope you test negative soon emummy and not feeling too rotten. Well done giraffeski what a great result.

PB at Parkrun on Saturday, just need to take another 4 seconds off and I will be under 25 minutes. Quick run this morning before a killer abs class, I’m sure a 10km would be much easier than the class! . I am determined not to give up on the class, I can only get better!

Well done giraffeski.
Hope you are better soon emummy
Just a gentle run for me. Going to pick it back up this week.
Did volunteer to help at a half marathon. It’s the first time I’ve been on the other side and I loved it.
Being in one spot and watching all the runners come past, I had the biggest respect for those towards the middle and back. You could really see the pain, effort and determination, especially those who’d been out there for a good 3 hours.
