Runners thread number 7

[Sirzy]

Open for any runners, or any runners looking to get their 'mojo' back.

I have a 10k on Sunday which I am feeling less than prepared for, and the stomach bug is just adding to that. I have a feeling I will be the slowest runner!

What's an illusion neckline Thursday?

The dress is essentially strapless Tess, but with a high neckline made of a net material. This kind of style

Ooooh that's lovely! I like illusion necklines

Thank you Tess - you see why only running wont cut it??
Glad to hear you were pain free today

2 miles from me yesterday. So 36.34.

I really need to run more but I haven't got the hang of fitting it in with everything else whilst working at home. I naively thought it would be easier!

Adding my parkrun 39.4

And a parkrun from me too 42.5 :)

And the excitement of today is that I now own a sports bra! Not sure how long it will fit but it does for now!

Exciting news indeed cinnamon, hope you enjoy it!
4.5 miles from me today, glad I waited till the afternoon - was really wet this morning but now it's gorgeous sunshine. So 47

We had the opposite emummy! Very warm dry morning, followed by wind, cold and loads of rain although it's dry and bright now :) I never felt I needed a sports bra before but they have grown and really hurt now so I've had to invest. Didn't really want to spend much in case they continue to grow!

Irian I'm doing the Plymouth 10K

I can do just over 5 miles without stopping and reckon I'll be fine. Quite nice flat route too.

5.1 miles for me last night and park run this morning so total of 8.2 to add for me.

55.2

Evening all,

Two lots of 5K to add from me this week, so 6.2 miles taking total to 58.4.

Have noticed this week that I haven't had time to get to my weekly yoga class and consequently my shins are really sore. Maybe I will be able to go tomorrow. I ache!

Congrats on the bra cinnamon!

Aghast at the thought of running without a sports bra!

You'll be fine EdithDickie!

I just have almost no boobs and very little volume since I lost weight and I've never had any discomfort before ThursdayLast. My running buddy has been trying to get me to buy one for ages but then hers are mahoosive'

My boobs are fair to middling and always need support I remember that swollen pain in pregnancy only too well- I often wore my sports bra to work to help everything feel contained and protected.

Edith and Irian when is the Plymouth 10k? I'm doing Newquay 10k tomorrow (if I can resist all the Saturday night beer flowing)

My boobs are epic - without a sports bra I would definitely injure myself and others!

Plymouth 10K is the first Sunday in November, the 2nd I think it is.

Good luck for tomorrow Thursday!

I have minimal breasts (30c) but without a sports bra they aren't happy running. Should have run today as haven't since Wednesday but fell asleep instead . I blame the jet lag.

I wore sports bras through both pregnancies - were the most comfortable bras for the task. But I am with your running buddy on this cinnamon - how on earth have you managed this long without . You need to look after your boobs from now on :)

On which note my lovely new season jazzy version panache arrived yesterday - best sports bra ever :)

I dont have a sports bra, I find T-shirt bras have been ok for me. I just haven't got round to buying one. Not had any problems yet. Im a C cup so not too small either.

Anyway come to have a small whinge. Lovely day today, but a bit cold. Perfect conditions for a run, yet when I try to walk anywhere around the house my ankle hurts. No idea why, but Im thinking a run might not be the best idea. grrrrrrr.

I can't wait to do 10Ks again, but there are no big ones near me till next year. I dont think there is, going to have a look.

Newquay 10k done runkeeper says 53.30 and I got a lovely long sleeved running top (and an aero)

So 6.2 + 58.4 = 64.6

Been out for another 3k (or 1.87 miles in this case). Sun shining

Next week it's 5ks to get ready for the 5k I'm doing in the York marathon relay next Sunday

I don't run for a week at a time lately, so then I come on here and have lots of catching up to do!

Lovely pic Cinnamon if you fancy being early though, I'm March 29
And about time too with the sports bra, I'm a 32B and I always wear one for running!

Edith and Irain I grew up in Plymouth and 10k sounds fun as long as it's not hilly. You certainly can't drive far round there without going up or down a big hill!

biscuits don't run with that ankle. Can you cross train instead?

Well done on your 10k Thursday and a great time too. You can keep the top but do get in touch if you don't want the Aero! Lovely dress too, if DP and I ever do get married I'd like something similar. I'll probably be about 50 by then though...

13.1 miles from me to add, all in one go today! Now it's time to taper - didn't feel I could call it that when I've only run once a week for the last three weeks! Royal Parks HM is next Sunday, yikes. Today was deliberately leisurely and took 2:15, I'm not sure what I can manage but if I could knock ten minutes off that I'd be happy.

Total 79.6 with a little rounding!
