2015 Running thread part three

[actiongirl1978]

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

Right- 4 from orange makes 859.8 and another 13 from me this morning makes 872.8. Did the 1st bit of a race I did last year to get my head back into technical trails vs the nice forest paths Ive mainly been doing. Beat my time by 15 mins but not sure I'd have been able to finish the race off . Legs were pretty tired by the end.

Happy birthday action

Goodluck tomorrow 5madthings if you go hope you are feeling better.

I have no miles to add from this week at all. Week from hell. And a race tomorrow ?? I'm not in the mood for it now at all.

Everyone else well done on all those miles

I found the article about losing fitness very interesting to read! Having stopped running for 5 mths I suffered lots of muscle wastage, though was also due to not using my leg properly, and also suffered a 5-7min increase on my 5k time. Nearly back up to where I was last April but it's taken 6 weeks. Don't plan on stopping for that long again!

Happy birthday actiongirl

Happy birthday action!

I am :( don't think I will be able to run tomorrow as developed stinking cold to go with my cough overnight and I have a temp and ache, feel shit basically. My chest is awful. Maybe I will miraculously recover by tomorrow but Tbh I feel like I won't be able to run for a good few days at least :(

Happy birthday actiongirl, hope you have a great day.
Sorry you've had a bad week twobambinos, maybe you'll enjoy your race and feel better? Fingers crossed anyway!
2.6 miles from me this morning, great fun run up a hill through quite thick forest, so a challenge not to trip over all the tree roots and rocks! Half way down the other side had to turn back as track thick with ice so retraced my steps. That was fun, flying down steep paths! Was pretty slow overall but very enjoyable. No views as very misty, but very atmospheric!
So 875.4
Good luck for race 5madthings if you do run

Happy birthday action. A long run sounds like a perfect birthday treat, followed by and of course

Good luck to everyone doing a race tomorrow, hope your knee is fine for it anglaise

3.1 rather muddy parkrun miles from me today makes 875.9

Oops, cross post 5madthings, sorry you're feeling worse. Sounds like a wee break from running called for. I won't say get some rest, that may be tricky with the madthings to look after! Hope you're better soon

Ok so 878.5 with my miles, cross post with family

Oops, x post, should be 878.5

That sounds fantastic emummy, I love those kind of runs.

Hello, I stuck my hand up to join the 2015 runners thread in Jan and then completely failed to actually run for over a month, but have been today and done 3.6 miles, so I guess that's 879.5.

Can't remember how to bold on kindle version:-S (or do smilies!).

But anyway, I ran!

7.5 from me today, very comfortable so I will be doing the 10k race tomorrow. It is a lovely race with a really good atmosphere organised by a little farming village but nevertheless it attracts some very good runners. There is no T shirt as recompense but instead a bag of vegetables. After the race you are given a cup of homemade soup along with the other refreshments.
880.3

Oh no, cross post as well!

Should now be 882.1

Whoops x post
887
Get well soon 5madthings don't worry about your race.

Another x post, but at least we've got the same total so reassured my maths isn't too bad
Sorry about your chest madthings , it's no consolation I know, but there will be other races. It def sounds like you are best sitting this one out.

Argh, again! I have no idea what the total should now be, and shall defer to you thread elders to advise!

I give up, I am way too slow at typing!!

I think we should have been on 889.6 plus 5.4 to add from me this morning makes 895

Happy birthday action and get well soon madthings*

I make it the same postmanpatscat plus a lovely leisurely, chatty parkrun for me wih there and back makes 899

Checking in with a parkrun 902.1

4.5 from me this morning on a muddy hilly trail.
Decided to go for Great Scottish run in October. I'm going to continue to trawl along doing my own thing, and couple of 10ks until May when training will start in earnest! Eek.

Happy birthday action

Total 906.6

906.6 +4.2 from me =910.8

I have just confirmed for myself that I am able to run better and longer when I don't feel under pressure to get back to my life. I set out to run further than 5k and not only did it but ran at my fastest average pace ever! Feeling very pleased with myself.

Happy birthday from me too, Action.

Just read back.
Hope you are ok 2bambinos. Maybe a run will help?

5madthings hope you feel better soon

Good luck to all those running tomorrow.

913.9 with my slow parkrun this morning! I hope not to lose all my
Fitness when I have super-mini-kimmi. I tried to do c25k but found it far to easy (as I ran before) and managed a 30 slow run

917.85

I've had two weeks off running due to laziness and illness. Ive also discovered that I'm expecting DC3. Having never run a HM before and being around 17 weeks gone on race day, would I be mad to attempt it?

4.8 miles today, up a loooong hill that I don't tackle as often as I should takes us to 922.45

I need to up my miles - have looked and I can easily take today's run to 6.5m/10k so I think I need to add in that loop before the end of Feb :)

Doing a xc 12.5k round a local reservoir (scenic but rather hilly) in May, further than I have run
