Still going strong, running and chatting as we go

Run with my neighbour this evening, I took her dog for last mile and she flew, think little pup is not liking the heat and pulling her mummy back! 231.2

Just a little 1.5 miles with dd's primary school running club, was good fun. Had to take ds as Dh at work early, he had fun but declared himself exhausted by the end. 2 mins later was playing high speed game of tag with his friends, wish I had his energy!
232.7

Slow (it's the only way I know!) plod after school. DH accompanied me on his bike.

3.1 parkrun for me too

Race for life 5k done with dds. Dd2 loved it, dd1 not so much! They managed it in 38 mins, could have been faster if not for all the walking breaks! Good day out in Aberdeen, cloudy but mild, good turn out, all happy.

245.4

Well done on the Race for Life emummy. I'm doing one in July which I'm looking forward to.
Went out with DD(12) for a drizzly two laps round the lake. 3.2 to add

That's not bad at all emummy well done to your dd's

Running in the hammering rain with my neighbour and the dogs who had a blast and I actually laughed more than I ever have while running!! 268.5

6.5 it sucked 275

Adding 15.6 total from 3 runs- 2 in Hyde Park over the weekend and then just my standard route yesterday back in HK to try to get rid of longhaul bloat.
Didnt do my gym commute this morning as it's just too humid- truly revolting

290.6

37.25 to add from the last week, getting used to having wet feet again with all the rain and long wet grass on the footpaths. Not to mention having to de-tick my legs after every run. Ticks are a PITA.
327.85

good morning! a sticky 3.5 miles from me. New fella came on his bike. Did I mention that when we rekindled this, he stopped in the street on his bike doing a massive skid...impressive eh?

331.35

Sounds irresistible stillearnin!
Was having lovely, if very wet, run this morning when disaster struck. Looked up at an incoming dog when running up very rocky hill right at the end and tripped over a rock. Crashed down onto mud and lots of little sharp stones. Both hands cut to ribbons plus one elbow and one knee. And a hole in my new capris, sob! And Dh is on a plane out of the country, the kids are all in school and my mum lives 200 miles away! Sitting in kitchen feeling very sorry for self after fun session scrubbing mud out of wounds. Thank goodness race foe life was last week!
Never mind, onwards & upwards,
337.35

Poor you emmummy that sounds awful! Hope your wounds are better soon.

A drizzly, humid, slow 3.2 to add.
340.55

Feel better soon emummy, hope they give you lots of sympathy over the phone!

Nice that he's joining you stilllearnin!

A sunny but very damp run, the air is so moist and the grass is very wet!! Massive storm last night here. 344.55

Lovely run again this morning, still such damp air 348.55

18 miles to add from me over 4 runs.

366.5

I've lost my mojo a bit, but I've still been getting out there!

Poor emummy falls are horrible and it's even worse whe there is no one to look after you!

Well done karate.
Pity party over now, managed a run this morning. Knee a bit stiff, main problem is trying to keep dressings on my hands, have taken one off this morning and the other is covered in rock tape to hold it on! Nice cool damp run this morning, lots of dogs to distract mine - where were they all yesterday when I was walking her in a monsoon?!
Today's job now is to get ready for getting both dds to their dance show dress rehearsal tonight, special thanks to the ballet teacher for making me re-sew the elastic on dd1's ballet shoes today. Had to run to keep the stress levels down!

371.8

karate here's to knowing your mojo will return!

emummy my dd has just joined a new dance school - the costumes are amazing so I am thinking I may have to start saving now!

Oh 3.4 hill intervals today - crikey I was puffed out

375.2

Currently on holiday. I haven't run since last Thursday but today DP and I put the dc into kids club and went on a guided run with hotel staff. We were the only 2 guests. Fabulous trail run slow but over the southern tip of Lanzarote over rocks and sandy beaches. 4.8
380

emummy your fall sounds horrendous, glad things are better now.
Still nice your new DP is supporting your running.
Karaté I'm not surprised you've lost a little mojo after 2 marathons (I think you did 2 in the end?) Take it easy, it will come back.
30.6 to add from the last 3 days. Still raining quite a bit but not too cold. The rain hasn't stopped the ticks attaching themselves to my legs. Wondering if the dog flea/tick treatment is safe/effective for humans?
410.6

After work run, with DH accompanying me on his bike. I'm feeling a little despondent that I can't seem to get any faster. My DD just says to make my stride longer, but I just can't!
I've got such stumpy legs!
