609.4

(running after Leg Day is a ridiculously stupid idea)

KeyserSophie · 15/08/2015 07:17

13 to add to make 622.4. We recce'd the first half of a race course for October. Was a good run despite torrential rain. Felt very comfortable and might even have sensed my mojo creeping back.

Congrats kimme hope you and ds are doing well xx

familygermsareok · 15/08/2015 08:23

Aww, he's lovely kimmi . Congratulations Smile

3 slow and gentle miles this morning to ease my Achilles back in. Avoided parkrun as it's quite hilly. Stiill achy and stiff but better than a week ago!

625.4

Whowouldfardelsbear · 15/08/2015 09:04

aw kimmi he's beautiful. Not had new born cuddles for ages - getting broody now (no more though, no more!)

A 3.44 treadmill run midweek and a 6.25 outside run today. I am sticking to my 1000 km personal target, but altered it slightly to 1000 before I am 40 (so that is just over a year now). This gives me a bit of leeway for illness/injury etc!

635.09

MyBlackCat · 15/08/2015 09:07

3 swift miles with a colleague this morning, gutted to be missing Parkrun but away working Angry

638.09

cinnamongreyhound · 15/08/2015 10:36

4 miles with parkrun and putting signs out and collecting them. Not a fast one but a nice one 642.09

emummy · 15/08/2015 10:49

Interval session today in the pouring rain. Me and dog got very very wet!
646

suzannefollowmyvan · 15/08/2015 15:34

12 miles from me, some rain would have been fab, still at least there was a good bit of cloud to shield me from the bastard son

658

suzannefollowmyvan · 15/08/2015 15:37

I mean sun obviously, I do not need to be shielded from my male offspring!

FlukeSkyeRunner · 15/08/2015 16:24

7km run, well, 6.97km to be precise! Nothing compared to some of you guys but my longest run yet, 40 minutes. I have pleasantly achy legs now Grin

658+3.4=661.4

runtothehills · 15/08/2015 18:12

Kimmi he is gorgeous, congratulations xxx

Welcome back Keyser's mojo Smile

Suzanne post gave me a good giggle, pictured you running away from moody teenager and sheltering in the mist Grin

7 up the hill behind house this morning in the same horrific rain as emummy experienced, took a lot of motivation to leave the house. Also 4 from evening run on Thursday. 672.4

Have 2 races this coming week, local hill race on Thursday night and then trail HM on Saturday. Feel the need for some tactical carb loading scoffing my face Grin

suzannefollowmyvan · 15/08/2015 19:00

teenager!
he's nearly 30Shock

emummy · 15/08/2015 19:12

runtothehills are you doing the Fare Challenge? I am just doing the 5k, feeling lazy!

phlebasconsidered · 15/08/2015 19:19

Ten miles from me. Quite pleased as I managed to negative split it.

Congrats Kimmi! He's handsome. 682.4

runtothehills · 15/08/2015 20:27

Suzanne I notice you correct the age but not the "moody" bit Grin

emummy yes it's the Fare, here's hoping the weather is better than today Hmm

suzannefollowmyvan · 15/08/2015 21:21

ha ha, my children can be as moody as they please since they have their own homes to be moody in :o
(they are both pretty cheerful as far as I can tell)

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 15/08/2015 23:36

3.1 parkrun miles, plus my 3 miles from Thursday that didn't get added on 688.5

Don't talk to me about moody teenagers Grin. DS1 is at an 18th birthday/A level results party and DS2 is apparently in bed having had his phone prised from his hand and doing an excellent Gollum impression.

emummy · 16/08/2015 10:39

Long easy run in the sunshine this morning, so nice to not get soaked! Hilly route in preparation for next week's hilly trail 5k, so not as fast but very pleased to have coped with all the hills without stopping.
698.1

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 16/08/2015 20:11

5 slow miles make 703.1 Smile

Have a great week runners Grin

lastqueenofscotland · 16/08/2015 21:41

Been on my holidays and it was far too hot to run (and I drank far too much wine to get up early enough to run when it was cool) my one aborted attempt was a measly 1.08 miles

704.18

I will run ten miles tomorrow I will I will I will.

Purpletoes · 16/08/2015 22:35

Just 2 miles from me. Run to and from kettlebell class on Tuesday after which my legs were very stiff for 2 days.

Didn't get to run again at home as my dad had an accident and broke his heel badly on Wednesday so was helping with that till I came back with kids yesterday.

Will hopefully get in some good runs this week.

Kimmi congratulations he is beautiful.
706.18

cinnamongreyhound · 17/08/2015 07:18

Ow sounds painful purpletoes!! Hope he makes a quick recovery.

5.5 miles from me, my friend overslept so slightly less than we'd planned as I had to get back for she to go to work 711.68

suzannefollowmyvan · 17/08/2015 17:25

another 12 miles in the midday sun from me
723.68

MyBlackCat · 17/08/2015 19:20

cinnamongreyhound · 17/08/2015 20:14
