Finally, I have managed to catch up. I keep thinking I must catch up before posting, but never getting to the end! Great race reports from the weekend, and belated welcomes to all the new (to the thread) runners. Hope scan goes well n4anny. Loved reading all the meeting DP stories. I was hugely hungover when I met my DH at a Sunday afternoon BBQ and he thought I was really quiet (ha, little did he know). We were introduced by my friend who was going out with his then housemate. We met again at a party at his house, he offered to walk me home and that was that. He claims to remember significant dates in our relationship by football tournaments: we met during Euro 96, married just after Euro 2000 and had DS3 during Euro 2008. Hmmmm.
I managed a five miler on Saturday, my longest run since HM back in September, and a gentle cross country three miler on Monday. Yesterday was planned rest day, except for Zumba, and had planned a four miler this morning, but had a meeting with head of prospective middle school for DS1, which I thought would finish at 10, giving me plenty of time to get home, change (DH forbade me going in running kit - can't think why), run and shower before knocking out a few emails and picking up DS3 from nursery, but in fact didn't get home until gone 11 which scuppered that plan 
. So will go for four to five miler tomorrow with two friends instead.
I meant to say thanks Debi for HM training plan link with Runner's World, I've looked at that and at the one's in Women's Running from back in the summer (they had three for beginners, intermediate and those seeking PB), and I've sort of combined them. I'm aiming for four runs a week, three 30-45 minutes with some speed work in one or two of them and one LSR each week. I don't want to overdo it and aggravate my hip, which has been feeling much better but is a bit niggly today so an enforced rest is probably no bad thing.
Sorry, its an all me, me me post.
