Keep on running - runners thread number 4

[Sirzy]

We are speeding through these threads much faster than I can run!

New thread for runners of all abilities!

Hmm not really. My dad was out of uniform by the time I was born. I grew up near a big RAF base and they were a huge part of the community, but we weren't directly involved.

Both my cousin & uncle have active service with the USAF.

I wanted to go into the RAF but I met my now DH and he talked me out of it!

Just checked and actually the monster stuff is the same weekend as RNR.

So today I ran 3.3 miles which makes 308.9.

Most importantly from my Runkeeper stats it looks like I ran it in 30 minutes dead on give or take a few seconds. That is my PB by over a minute and a half or so. Whoop.

Well done HalleLouja!!

Hope you had a good run Blatherskite!

cinnamon Ely is perfectly do-able, but it's the week after Mitchy, Blathers and some other lovely MNetters are doing the WOLF run and I'm not sure if we will live to tell the tale.

But I see registration is not yet open, so there's time to decide

1.2miles - every little helps!!

310.1miles is the new total.

Pretty sure WOLF would kill me!!

Has anyone done One True Grit? They do a 5km "beginners route".

No run for me. I didn't get home from the hospital with DD and her suspected concussion until 9:30pm She started vomiting and being really sleepy first thing and we've been in Children's A&E or the Paeds Ward all day. We're only home on a pass and I'm to take her in if she changes at all.

Ah well, there's always the next one.

oh blathers, what a worry for you

hope she is ok

Hope she recovers quickly Blathers.

Oh no, Blathers, what a day! Good in a way that you weren't out running when she showed first symptoms and you were able to be with her. Hope shevis clearly better tomorrow.

Hope your dd is okay Blathers and you managed to get some sleep! How worrying for you.

I had a rest day yesterday and didn't have time for any cross training either so I'm raring to go today. Just got to get through a full-on day at work first! Weather forecast is looking awful too so it might be a wet & windy run tonight! Luckily my MASSIVE order from Sports Direct arrived yesterday so I've got shiny new shoes, socks, top and shorts to test out. I will be beautifully co-ordinated (my clothes, not my running style!) Or as dh very kindly puts it - all the gear but no idea

Oh no poor dd and you Blatherskite. Hope you've had a good night with her (((((hugs)))))

Adding my 4 miles so total of 304.1miles

Sorry 314.1miles!!!

Marking my spot to come back later!

Oh Blathers, hope your DD is ok and feeling better soon!

No run for me yesterday, DH was late home & I was feeling a bit stiff and sore for some reason. Then I dreamed last night that I took 2 hours to do the Huntingdon 10km!

Oh Blathers, your poor DD - and poor you, you must be exhausted!
Well done Halle on the PB!

Adding my 3 miles to the total - managed it in 30 minutes exactly, which given my unwise decision to run through a nettle-strewn footpath was pretty good. Next time I'm taking secateurs with me!

That makes us 317.1 miles so far. Circuit training for me today (no nettles..)

Good morning runners!

Hope your DD is on the mend Blathers. It's horrible grey and wet here but I have been out running anyway. My 4.5 miles takes the total to 321.6 miles.
My left leg hurts now though, I could feel it pulling as I was running and now it is sore from the inside of my ankle up my calf almost to my knee. Most annoying, I hope it goes away. I am going to have a cup of tea and a little sulk now.
Have a good day everyone.

cardiff, get ice on it NOW!

325.4

A quick and very damp run before I go to the gym this afternoon :)

oh and blathers, do hope your dd is feeling a bit better this morning. Concussion is rotton.

329.8 with my 4.47 added.
Pissing it down in w.london, most delicious running in the pouring rain in an empty park. Legs are feeling v stiff but still going to try and squeeze a run in over the weekend.

Lots of love to your DD Blathers
