For one pointless -excuse- reason after another I get so far and then stop .

This time I have signed myself up for a 5k in May so I have to do it now . I do enjoy it once I get into it and I really want to finish something for once .

If anyone has any hints tips or kicks up the arse spare I would appreciate it .

Yes but he's nearly 5 Shock and DH is 51 and neither of them sleep!

AF arrived this morning so even less incentive to do anything. I have to clean the house top to bottom so that'll be my work out today. Did some pilates the last few nights so haven't been totally useless.

Thanks user
world what about going out for a week 1 run again if you don't feel you can tackle the week you're on?

Just finished W7R3.
Tried to go out last night in between the rain but just as I was half way through the warm up it turned into a thunder and lightening storm Shock. Tried to go on but only managed 2.5km. So I resolved to go this morning.

Week 8 here I come!!!

whothefuckhas5children · 09/06/2017 08:01

boat thanks. I'm really pleased!

Boatsnack · 09/06/2017 12:25

Dd was off yesterday because of the election and she's off today because she has earache so no running for me. Is it sad if I admit I'm disappointed I can't get out.

whothefuckhas5children · 09/06/2017 18:51

boat I know exactly what you mean Shock

If anyone is looking to increase speed I've just come across these from the NHS. Designed for graduates of the C25k. If you're not quite at the 30 or so minutes after 8 weeks you can look to these.

I'm certainly going to give them a go.

Hello. I'm still here and I still haven't made it out. Had hoped to go this morning but had the worst night's sleep ever. Maybe tomorrow hey... well done to all of those running. Hope your DD is better today Boat

Just had a very disappointing trip to buy running shoes. Big lack of running shops here even in the city centre it seems. Might need to look further afield for somewhere that has a good range and doesn't cost £120+.

Hi all, been quiet for a while so just catching up. I ran a few times whilst abroad I say run, more a of a long walk with a few quick jogs thrown in

Did 5k yesterday in just over 30mins, that's a PB for me!

TheWorldHasGoneToCake · 11/06/2017 07:47

Well done Pink and How

I want to go to a proper shop in September (my birthday) but it does scare me too!

Still not been out and not really getting more sleep. Going to bump DH out of bed and go back for another hour!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 11/06/2017 08:06

I don't think we have any proper shops here. The two we had have both closed down.

Stupid Turkish autocorrect. Grin

For anyone interested that post contains reference to an umbrella, a towel, a tree and a weed. None of which played any part in my run. Grin

He was holding the umbrella Grin

😂😂 rafals

DD is still not well, raging ear infection. She's got antibiotics but we're struggling to keep her temperature down so no one's getting much sleep in my house.

I did 5km yesterday 33mins not particularly good but to be expected given I've had about 2 hours sleep in 3 days. 😣

TheWorldHasGoneToCake · 13/06/2017 21:04

LOL at that post!

Boat, I hope DD turns a corner. We've had sleep hell here too, but have new meds to try on DS fingers crossed for tonight

I haven't been out but did walk a good couple of miles today.

Boatsnack · 14/06/2017 21:12

Dd is still off school, not sure the antibiotics are helping. Her ear looks clearer but she feels sick and lethargic.

I managed to get out this afternoon once dp came in from work. It wasn't great but I did it I really don't like running at half 5 much prefer going out in the morning.

inniu · 14/06/2017 23:54

I have been so busy for the last ten days or so. Nanny off sick, kids party, scout camp (I am the leader) 10 hour round trip to see family member but...... Tonight after work I did the last run in my C25k.

I might try that plus app linked above next. I average 6 mins 20 seconds per km.
