Can I join in with my miles? My contribution seems a bit lightweight compared to the rest of you! 3.1 miles from me last night with a personal best speed of 9.8k/hr (I'm metric, me...)

138.12

Congrats Cinnamon!

Two 5k runs to add from me so another 6.2 miles.

Looks like I am entering the Royal Parks half in October as there's now a space in the team DP is running in. Just me and a load of scaffolders and health and safety bods!

Omg cinnamon Blush

5madthings · 05/08/2014 21:33

Congratulations cinnamon

6.5km from me this eve, my first run in a week or so? I think that's about 4miles? Anyway I ran the whole route and didn't need a walking break which I am pleased with having been so crap at going running for months, I really enjoyed it as well and felt like I could have carried on bit didn't want to push it as am going swimming tomorrow am, taking advantage of Dp being home so I can escape and go do 80 lengths or so.

Runkittyrun · 05/08/2014 22:29

Congratulations cinnamon
Great running going on.

I have 7.83 from yesterday and 5.45 from today to add to the total. So that's 161.68 (including the previous posters).
Starting to get nervous about my first HM race in a few weeks. Mostly about whether it will be hot still.

Bluebird89 · 06/08/2014 06:49

Just 2.5 from me this morning with the dog. Haven't made her run with me for a while poor thing has gone back to bed now.

Cinnamon congratulations and it great to hear you're still managing to run. I am TTC #1 at the moment and have been wondering whether I would manage to keep up the running once pg so nice to know people do

Bluebird89 · 06/08/2014 06:50

Oops sorry total 164.18

PulsesARagingEyesFullofWonder · 06/08/2014 07:13

3.2 miles from me last night. Didn't get out til it was getting dark, but it was a lovely run in the end. Hamstring okay, so I feel I can begin to build up distance a little now.

So that's 167.38

cinnamongreyhound · 06/08/2014 07:19

I'm only 5 weeks though Bluebird89 :) hope it all goes well for you. I didn't run when I had my other 2 so have no idea how I'll be with running.

4.5 very wet miles from me this morning with my doggy friends! 168.63

PulsesARagingEyesFullofWonder · 06/08/2014 09:00

Think we must've cross-posted, cinnamongreyhound

So the total is now 171.83 with both our runs added :)

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 06/08/2014 13:37

7 miles from me this morning.

178.83.

It was a lovely run, warm and sunny but not too hot. I saw lots of birds along the canal bank as well which was lovely.
I'm shattered now though. Might have to have a little sleep. Smile

ThursdayLast · 06/08/2014 18:39

Oh no, I've had a mare!

I was in my kit, all insect repellent-ed up, ready to go. Then I sat down for five minutes.

I decided to use what little energy I had to get OUT of my kit and into the shower...

Useless

Bluebird89 · 06/08/2014 19:42

Oh I thought I read 13 weeks Cinnamon, I must have got confused! Fx you can keep going then

CardiffUniversityNetballTeam · 06/08/2014 21:56

Oh Thursday! Confused

Why didn't you want to go?

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 06/08/2014 21:59

Got in a 5k after work, bringing our total to 181.93.

Oh, and I'm starting with a running club next week . It's a beginner's course running for two months with the idea being you're then at the standard to run with the main club. Should be fun!

karatekimmi · 06/08/2014 22:10

The streak continues ... yesterdays was an easy 1.3 miles around the block.
Tonight, I got ready for my club run, negotiated tantrums with my 2 year old - "no run no run" and drove to pick my babysitter up ... who was at a wedding! luckily I managed to find a neighbour who would keep my sofa warm and watch my TV while I managed a 4.9 miles run (really need to look at the distance before I sit down inside!!)
185.03

Thursday that's not good!! have a rest day and try again tomorrow!!

madmiles 3.1 miles is a great contribution - and on Saturday there will be plenty of 5k's being added!!

Blatherskite · 06/08/2014 22:13

I've just spent an hour running up and down the nightmare hill section of the MK marathon. No idea how far I went until I upload my Garmin but I'm really pleased to report that my hip held out Grin

It's definitely getting better!

cinnamongreyhound · 06/08/2014 23:05

Yay for your hip blatherskite!

I think it's because I have a race when I'll be 13 weeks Bluebird89 :)

Tomorrow's a new day ThursdayLast!

Good luck with our club run Softkittywarmkitty!

ThursdayLast · 07/08/2014 08:25

Haha, thanks Cardiff, Cinnamon, Kimmi!

You know when you just see a lot of little jobs all looming before you before you can relax for the day? Yeah that.

I think I'm going to kick the plan I've been following to the kerb too. Sometimes I enjoy the challenge of a longer run, more sprints etc but sometimes I just want to squeeze in a 5k to keep the joints moving.

I think I got daunted last night. Never mind.

emummy · 07/08/2014 09:02

3 from me this morning so now 188.03. Never mind Thursday, just forget about yesterday and carry on! It happened to me last week, only I didn't even get out of bed!

cinnamongreyhound · 07/08/2014 09:25

Another 4 from me for my regular Thursday morning route :) 192.03
