2015 Running Thread Part 5

[actiongirl1978]

Hi everyone, new thread started!

Hope the sickness has left your house cinnamon

germs you are fantastic! What an amazing time!

Well done Halle

Welcome back Squeezy

No running here this weekend - out all day and half the night Saturday, too tired yesterday, and needed to catch up with stuff today.

Forgot about the feeding . So long ago for me! My DS1 was about 9 months before he slept through. DS2 was sleeping for about 7 hours at a time by 6 weeks which was great, but his wake up time remained 5am till he was about 2.5 years, regardless of what time he went to bed. Might be why I'm fine about getting up for early morning runs now

Thank you Neeko and OhOne

2.3 on Saturday and 2.4 today, both 30 mins so getting a tiny bit further each time. Sorry about vomiting cinnamon, you did well to get out after that night! I hope you are all better and they haven't shared their germs.

Lou you are doing amazingly well with your challenge, I am only up to slogging my guts out every other night, but then it is only my 4th run tonight this year, so I'm overall quite pleased with myself.

1316.87+4.7= 1321.57

The prodigal runner returns... Morning all. Back from my 3 day "holiday". DC were absolutely horrific. They're not usually but they both really excelled themselves in terms of brattishness- if I was another parent, I'd have judged me, put it that way. I self medicated with chocolate and wine, ate 9 buffets in 3 days and did no running because I was too busy attending Shrek themed breakfasts and breaking up sibling spats..... and I've got a 12 hour flight with said DC on Saturday night- argggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! At least I'm off to my mum's and MIL's who both live in the gorgeous countryside so I'll get some nice runs in.

Anyway, nuff moaning. Did 3.5 miles on the treadmill this morning to make 1325.07. Wanted to get off from the get-go but kept going, albeit not for as long as I should have done.

Sorry, meant to say well done to family for her podium finish and great 10k time and hope the vomiting has stopped Chez Cinnamon. Kudos to Halle for being almost at the end of "Every day in May"

Well done everyone on your running. Familygermsareok - great result! AggressiveBunting - sympathies on the child - related shenanigans. We have visitors staying. We all had a fair bit of last night, I slept really badly and then the visitors' kids have been up since 5 a.m., thundering about the house . No run for me today - far too knackered.

I've just been catching up on the thread,

Huge congratulations to cinnamon on the birth of ds3 . Fab news. Great to hear you're back out on the running trail, again too. Sorry you've been trapped in chundertown recently though, that's never fun. Pesky kids.

for familygerms, bloody brilliant. I can only dream of a 1st. I'm persistent but s-l-o-w.

Halle - I am very tempted to emulate your 'every day 5k' type challenge. 5k is a nice, doable distance, easy to fit in time wise. I hope my knee could stand it, daily without rest. Cheers to you for managing it so brilliantly

In fact, bravo to everyone clocking up the miles.

Catching up from me: 3.2 plus 5 plus 8.5 plus 3.2 from me, so, ....um.....
19.9
1341.47
I'm still slow from the chest infection and I just cannot break 8.5 miles or more: had to give up the other day as I felt faint. I really need to lok at my nutrition I think. once i've burned about 900 / 1000 calories I seem to bonk really easily. I have REALLY low blood pressure so I don't think that helps.

Well done all you fab runners: there is no way my knees could do 5k every day, it takes them 2 days to get over my long run!

And if it's not too cheeky can I mention my charity for my HM in October? It's Chicks, they give holidays and respite bgreaks for child carers. Their / my donation page is here.

After this week the HM feels impossible: it took me AGES to run 8.5 at a pace of 11.5 per mile!

4 miles this morning, easy session of half mile repeats, tapering is so relaxing! And it's a lovely sunny day, I've done my last OU essay of the year, all is well! Off to yoga now

1345.47

5 miles hill rep intervals (1.30 run/1 walk). Decided to add the extra 30secs onto the reps and OMG it is so much more knackering.

Hope you enjoy the tapering emummy and if i'm not on again till the weekend good luck for the HM and for anyone else running at Edinburgh this weekend.

Aggressive your wee break sounded familiar, self medication is definitely the way to go. Hope the flight goes a bit better.

5 + 6 from run yesterday + 1345.47 = 1356.47

I am so looking forwards to the end of May. I miss hiit and body conditioning. Is been harder than I expected and the dodgy hip didn't help. I am glad I was allowed to walk and cycle too.

5.29 very fast miles in the heat, very very happy with it

Family congrats on your first Veteran place on your Sunday 10k and your excellent time and PB , I'm so pleased all that training is paying off for you.
Umbongo well done on going a little further each time, you'll be running a marathon before you know it;-)
Cinnamon ((())) I hope the vomiting in your house has stopped now, not nice.
Aggressive good luck for your flight on Saturday, it will be lovely for you to run without the humidity when in the UK, and the countryside is so pretty at the moment so an added bonus.
Back from my mini camping break at the coast, so have 11 miles to add from that and 10 from the training session with the club tonight, not too strenuous as am tapering a little before the Mont St Michel marathon I'm doing with a friend on Sunday (23kms of it anyway!)
I soooo enjoyed running the coastal and estuary footpaths at the weekend, even with all the ascent. Haven't done a trail race since September and forgot how much I missed them.
1356.47 + LastQueen's 5.29 + my 21=
1382.76

11.72 from me
1394.48

We are doing well this month or am I remembering wrong?

A lovely social 4.3 miles with my club tonight

I'm sure your pace will improve now you're well phlebasconsidered!

You sound very chilled emummy

Well done lastqueenofscotland.

Sounds lovely Anglaise1!

I am pleased to report no more vomiting and we slept 10.30-4.30 and 5-7, yay!!!

1398.78

Well done on the sleep and the no more vomiting Cinnamon!

No running today - rest day, although it being half term, this did involve tennis and football with ds (8) in the garden this afternoon, so I haven't been completely idle.

3.12 more miles from me. 1401.9 phew that .02 brings it back to one decimal place. That was hard today but the weather was kind.

oh I have 3 treadmill miles to add, I was checking out a new gym and just sort of zoned out on the treadmill (forget how moreish running is) - it's a cheap place with no air conditioning so it felt like running somewhere nice and hot

1401.9 + 3 = 1404.9

well 3 miles according to my Garmin, the treadmill measured much further and the time was wrong for that distance at the pace so it was probably a bit more but anyway

1404.9 +3.2= 1408.1

Hi everyone. Can I join your chat? I'm really enjoying reading about everyone's everyday runs and all the different events that you can enter.

I've started a proper running habit again this year and, after a crap March and April of viruses and other things, have had a really good May. I'm feeling enthusiastic and motivated right now and I want to keep it up.

I've been running 3.5-4 miles the last couple of weeks and I've got my eye on a local 10 mile circular route as a midterm goal. I'm forcing myself to take it gradually, though, because I had shin splints once before and I don't want injury to stall everything again.

Can I add last night's 3.3 to your running total? = 1411.4

Welcome Ann and thanks for the miles.

Adding 3 miles from this evening to make 1414.4. Treadmill again- weather this week has been horrific. We had the first black rain of the season yesterday which is 70mm in an hour and it hasn't cleared the air at all so the humidity is right back up there. Got a track session with my coach tomorrow and will try to do a long run on Saturday before my flight.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad you got your coastal trail runs in Anglaise and good luck for Mont St Michael this weekend. I tweaked my intervals after seeing how you do yours and I'm sure it has made a difference so thanks for that

, whatever it takes to get through that flight aggressive . I feel for you, my DC could be either little angels or complete horrors, no rhyme or reason which. Enjoy your countryside runs after, you deserve them!

Phlebas don't worry, Oct is ages away yet and you will find the miles get easier. It can take ages to get over a chest infection and get your old energy back, but it will happen. Just keep at it.

Hi Ann welcome, great that your running is going well again

No running from me until tomorrow, looking forward to a nice long one hopefully.
