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!

(I got some new trail shoes today :))

TessTackle · 08/10/2014 20:21

So very envious Mitchy! I want the pro splatter nike capris and maybe a new top/tops I think. The capris are quite loud though, not sure if they'll be a great look on my big thighs.

cinnamongreyhound · 08/10/2014 20:39

I keep wondering if clothing is going to give up before I do with running! I have one pair of leggings that I have to tie up so they should last a bit. Won't be buying anything new now though!

We had storms threatened but nothing came of it ThursdayLast

Oh I'm sure you can find a company somewhere that would love to sell you some hideous maternity sports clothes for 8 million pounds cinnamon

So cute kimmi

How long are you meant to carry on running with a cinnamon bun in the oven?

standingonlego · 08/10/2014 22:37

Aldi are having their running gear in tomorrow apparently, for you shopping hungry running consumers :)

cinnamongreyhound · 09/10/2014 07:47

As long as I feel able I think TessTackle, I'll discuss it more with the midwife as time goes on. I don't want to knacker my pelvic floor but I still feel able and not feeling and discomfort or dragging/aching while
I run of after so good so far. I have my last race on 19th oct, and then will just go out for me. Definitely not doing the HM in November!

4 miles to add from me, little doggy buggered off right near the end so spent ages waiting for her to come back!

195.2

emummy · 09/10/2014 10:22

2.1 from me, a wee recovery run, trying to do 4 runs a week instead of 3, wonder if I can keep that up in the Aberdeenshire winter! So total 197.3

Mitchy1nge · 09/10/2014 11:23

cinnamon is it the festive forest half that you're definitely not doing, do you know the route at all and what sort of terrain?

cinnamongreyhound · 09/10/2014 11:45

No it's norwich half 23rd November.

TessTackle · 09/10/2014 17:38

I'd love to try running pregnant,cinnamon

4.7 in the London storm this morning. It was so refreshing, apart from the wind!

5 miles for me today. Lovely and autumnal and invigorating.

feetheart · 09/10/2014 22:37

Rather knackering hill session with club tonight. First time I've done it and I ache

211.1

MirandaWest · 10/10/2014 09:59

Nice 3.1 in the sun. Made myself go as fast as I could and did the 5k in 29 min 23 seconds Smile. My bf and I seem to be having a small competition at the moment - we ran 5k together on Monday night - I did 30 min 33 sec and he was about 30 min 10. Then have been running separately - he did 29 min 30 and so I did 29 min 23 today. He'll be running again tonight or tomorrow morning Grin

MirandaWest · 10/10/2014 09:59

Total 214.2

feetheart · 10/10/2014 10:30

Miranda - competition is a great way to improve your times :) Trouble is my competition is my very competitive DS(8). I am starting to wonder how long it will be before I really can't keep up - he dragged me round to a sub-30min parkrun PB for both of us last week Shock

HalleLouja · 10/10/2014 10:30

4.5 to add here. 218.7 new total.

Mitchy1nge · 10/10/2014 11:23

6 from me, what a beautiful morning! 224.7
