Running thread part 10

[cinnamongreyhound]

The newsest thread for all runners to chat and keep track of their miles. Everyone welcome for support, guidance and general running talk including very important kit choices

Good luck tomorrow emummy

mouton certainly sounds possible.
I added a minute last time due to period issues

My husband is also away most of this week so planned a couple of short lunchtime runs.

Was 3000m at the track with warm up and cool down came in at 3 miles. I was tantalisingly close to 7 min miles (7:04). My goal is try and take that pace and extend it to 5km. A long way to go yet.

127.5

Thank you Climbing.
Great track work, very speedy!

Very windy lunchtime run and still recovering from 10k - not my best.

130.3

Feel I've got the hang of this now - when I first came on I thought the numbers were each individual's total after only 5 days of June!

Buggy run this afternoon- almost got blown away

134.2

A soggy 5k. I need a hot chocolate. Or whiskey. Or both.

137.4

It's a beautiful evening up here now, perfect for running but am so tired I just want to collapse. Hope you are warmer now IsThatYouPaul!

Thanks emummy ! Warming up nicely

2 miles within circuits at lunch and managed to bag a last minute babysitter to play badminton (son of someone who goes). Now playing rounders tomorrow so unlikely to run until the long slow run at the weekend. Also gearing up for a cycle to work on Friday, will be good to give my legs a rest as having shin and knee niggles actually.

139.4

Buggy run along a canal tow path today, a tree had blown over blocking the path so had to turn back and run further in the opposite direction. That's three days in a row and my legs feel it - 25 miles in total this week

144.9

Argh!!! I didn't post for a couple of days and you've all chatted so much I haven't had chance to read back. Will add my miles from the last few days and read back when I get chance! 156.9

Just wrote a long post and lost it, grrr! 11.4 to add for this week.

168.3

What was supposed to be 12 miles ended up at 14.4 (after DD's 2 km and somehow finished over a mile short from my car on the long run.

A whole day climbing tomorrow, hence the day early long run.

182.7

Parkrun and an attempt at a warm up beforehand

186.7

A treadmill run on Friday, and yesterday's parkrun for me.

I reckon there should be a few extra metres for all the puddles/swamps we had to go round and detours through trees. Fun though.

193.1

Oops forgot i had rejoined this and haven't been posting! So since my last post I've done a 9.31km, a 3.88km, a 5.13km and just now a 14.33km so that is . . . 20.29 miles.

Training for the hm next Sunday going well. Me and my running buddy drove down to the Wellington waterfront this evening and did a 14km out and back along the route. Made a nice change and a good evening for running.

213.39

Sounds lovely Whowould!
Very achy knee/hamstrings this week so first run today since Tuesday. And in the night I got cramp in my calf that has left the calf sore. So went out this afternoon covered in tape. Felt ok but just did 3 miles.

216.39

Hello I have 19.9 to add from the last week.

236.29 i think

Hope the ache is nothing serious emummy!

Good to see you getting the miles up again stilllearnin!

A fabulously fun but slooooow parkrun to add 239.39

I missed my long run yesterday as legs felt dead, wasn't planning to run today but the boy had a meltdown and refused to sleep despite being exhausted, so I took him out for 40 mins in the buggy and he slept!!

243

Quickly adding tonight's run. Wasn't really in the mood but did it anyway before I could convince myself otherwise.

248

Thanks cinnamon. I'm faithfully following a HM training plan so feeling good. Dd rang me last week to say she was feeling suicidal but I spent the evening with her and no actual attempt so that's an improvement. Let myself have a little fantasy that she might spend more time with me and lo and behold her dad is giving her a dream room makeover .

Fell over while running really hurt my hand and I think I'm on my way to losing a toenail

I've still got a black toenail from the hm i did in May, so pretty sure i am going to lose it altogether following my hm on Sunday!

A 3.2 from me tonight

251.2

Track session today, nice sunny day

254.7

6 mile recce of leg of a relay race on Sunday. Over 350m of ascent😮

Also cycled the 8 miles to work and back. Slightly scared of sitting down during tomorrow's attempt ( I've only cycled one in the last four years)

260.7

still hope you've something to look forward to (even its a relaxing cup of tea most days)
