2015 Running thread part three

[actiongirl1978]

Woo! How exciting to be the last on one thread and the first on another!

3.8 make 708.72

I was going really fast (by my standards) for the first three, but ended up with horrible rib pain so had to jog/walk the last 0.8. But even that was at a faster than many of the slower miles I have run over the years

My foam roller hasn't turned up yet, but I am not tempted to follow Hester's example with the rolling pin

Glad the rehab looks like it is going well Polly but don't overdo it!

cinnamon and 5mad will check the calendar for the Thetford Forest 10K I am looking for some events now that my injuries seem to be out of the way and I am enjoying my running again.

that 10k looks fun, am up for that

I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in Santon Downham church once :)

Actually the steak tenderiser rolling pin seems to have been quite effective! No twinges this morning so I decided to go fast. Well it was fast for me. Only did 1.5 miles but it was about 10 minutes I think (there was a walking stretch as I gasped in some salbutamol)

710.22

I have been sent the entry forms this morning for the Lanhydrock 10 mile and Trelissick 10k if I can tempt other South Westerly runners to join me??

4miles from ThursdayDog and I this lunchtime 714.2

Trelissick will be extremely hilly. I think I need a long time before anything like that!

Though it's officially described as "undulating". Undulating my arse!

Very pretty though.

Yeah it's crazy hilly Hester!
I've been running for 3years now and it was only last year I was brave enough to enter a 10k and Trelissick was my first

You can come cheer me on! It's in August, should be glorious

Which is why my 10k times are coming down - flatter course!
The real test will be as I start to repeat them I suppose.

Hi all, I just need to get something off my chest..

FECKING COLD FECKING GREY FECKING WEATHER

As you were.

I am adding five deeply unpleasant miles, only made better by my new garmin which is amazing and I love it! I did spend the whole route clicking buttons and speeding up and down to 'test' it

Oh and I also put that Ellie goulding song on my phone and it came on three times on shuffle and that made me think of Jamie dornan. So all not completely lost.

If anyone needs me I will be eating and drinking hot chocolate with a rug on my knee. Come on spring.

719.2

Ps. Polly glad to hear the calf raises Re working and Hester glad to hear you still have the full use of your legs after the rolling pin incident!

I have a bit of a treat coming this weekend, we are visiting the city I used to live in and I get to do my LSR around the bay. The added benefits will be frequent availability of toilets and if I keep a 10euro note on my person I can get public transport back from the end of my run instead of having to run back the way I came. I am very excited about it.

It's a positively balmy 5C here today actiongirl1978! No frost overnight either.

All your talk of races is making me :(

719.2 +3.2 from me is 722.4

I'm really struggling time-wise and fitness wise to get over 5k at the moment. Can't see how I'll ever manage 10k!

No running for me today but I got a 'Yes' from the GNR :o
Anyone else?

oh cinnamon, the fact that you are still training through the pregnancy is great, you will soon be racing again I have no doubt about it. When are you due?

No no frost here. But still a biting cold that permeates everything I wear!

neeko, do it in bitesize chunks. You just need to push yourself a tiny bit more each time.

yes Neeko, if you can do 5k you can do 5.5, and then 6, maybe walk a little bit at the 5k point to get your energy back?

Found the new thread and was a bit at the idea of treating sore muscles with a rolling pin - I'm clearly not a proper, hard-core runner yet.

I am very excited though at getting a Great North Run acceptance email this morning.

Thanks actiongirl and Suzanne. I have done up to 7k in the past but think it's more the time issue as I feel I can't really relax into the run because I have to pick up the kids/do the tea/their clubs etc. Maybe as the days get lighter I'll feel like going early in the morning.
For now I'll just have to content myself with the fact that at least I am going out and doing it and 5k is much more than many people can do.

I dont think I'll ever be proper and hard core then...I shrink from the full force of the foam roller, never mind the rolling pin version
:o

Just me that got rejected by the GNR then Perhaps they don't let southerners in? But Mo Farah grew up a few miles from here and they let him in

5 miles to add from yesterday makes 727.4

Boo postmanspatscat, if it's any consolation I got in 2 years ago, didn't get in last year and they have let me back in again this time (and I have a soft southern postcode :))

My PIL did the GNR and they're from Kent

I have literally no idea how they did it. They drink a lorry load of wine every day. Each.

Hester! HESTER!

New parkrun at Penrose nr Loe Bar! Inaugural on the 28th March!

Oh sorry, didn't see youd just this minute posted haha
