Running Thread 16

[emummy]

New thread needed! All runners welcome, whatever your pace or distance.
Cold icy run for me this morning, couple of exciting sliding episodes! Not a fan of the ice...

332.2

Mile repeats this morning. Absolutely beautiful here - it’s -3, there’s just been a fall of snow, just enough to make everything look pretty, and the sun is shining. Tough workout but I survived!
Happy household today as Dd1 has got a place at medical school after not getting in last year. Super proud of her for working so hard and not giving up - a lesson for us all!
@Annoy sorry about your foot. Could it be something other than plantar fasciitis? I thought I had it, saw a physio and was diagnosed with something different and the treatment she gave really worked. Hope you can get it sorted, it sounds very frustrating.

858.5

Cold windy run along the beach and back along the golf course this morning.
emummy well done to your DD, hope have a good celebration tonight.

863.5

Think the numbers have gone a bit wrong here, was worried my double post had messed up the calculation but it looks like people started adding their miles onto a post by Annoy quoting 848.7 from further up the thread, rather than Iamblossom's 893.2 from the previous post. Since then people have added a total of 14.8 miles (from 848.7 up to Doublethecuddles's total of 863.5).

So adding the 14.8 miles onto 893.2 I make our total 908.

Thank you @UnaOfStormhold! I posted on my phone so couldn’t see enough posts. So impressed with our total - thanks to everyone who has joined! It’s been a while since we made it to 900. Can we make 1000 by midnight tomorrow?!

Thank you @emummy I’ve been looking at Sidas podiatrists online, there’s one near me so I’m thinking of booking an appointment.

Great news for your DD! Well done 🙌

Ach, sorry that was my fault! I added up from a quote I’d replied too! Thanks for sorting 👍

I can add 20 miles. Made my deadline so got out last night and this morning. In theory I’m doing a half ish tomorrow as well

928

11 miles to add from me today. Really windy and cold but enjoyable.

939

Well done to your dd @emummy!

@PaddingtonPaddington if you managed 11m in the weather we had here (cold windy sleet) you are extremely hardcore. I switched my long run day to tomorrow as I couldn’t face it. It was freezing and the puddles were so cold I couldn’t feel my feet after 2miles

943.2

Sorry been a while since I posted. A total of 24 miles run since I last posted, including a 27km trail run today over the hills of Wellington. Beautiful day for it - finished with pizza and cokes on the Wellington waterfront. Here's us on top of Mount Kau Kau.

967.2

Beautiful pic @Toomanynotes .
Great news about medical school @emummy
Nice to have positive news at this time!

I didn't manage my long run this week as chose to go out yesterday and was so rainy. I'm no good in the rain!

I am an early morning runner and don't eat or drink anything before. I struggle on afternoon runs, I think I prefer empty stomach. I love breakfast and could never skip it. If I had to skip a meal it would be lunch or dinner.

Adding my little weekly total

976.5

Loving all the conversation and great pictures. Sometimes I mean to reply but by the time I’ve read all the posts I forget what I was going to say
Been really struggling with sleep recently so am feeling very tired. Keeping the runs a bit shorter at the moment.
Very muddy run yesterday. Had to do an out and back as so much flooding I’m limited on the off roading. The headwind on the way back was hardwork.
985.5

Just back from a lovely 10k. Drove out to our local forestry park to do their way marked route. It was -1 so cold and bright, but all the mud had frozen so paths were passable now (this was my theory) . So peaceful !

Oh forgot the miles!

Loving the photos !!!

991.7

Beautiful picture @Toomanynotes, looks like a great run.
@IRun4Me I hope your sleep improves soon, it is utterly horrible when it’s not happening.
Freezing cold this morning, -4 but felt colder. It was quite grey and there was a slight breeze so that might be why; I never really felt warm at all. Ran through our parkrun start line at the castle, feels so long since we were last there. I am going to need a refresher course in results processing when we start back!

999.7

Another 12 miles today (two back to back) but no minus temperature wind chill in my face (still lots of mud mind)

1011.7

5.5 for me today - did a new route which I thought might be a bit less muddy (lololol nope). I was pleased though as it takes in my favourite local path and makes it a circular route from the door, which is not something I’ve done before. Bumped into DS’s class TA so had a nice chat, then went to the butchers and had my arms and legs removed in return for some special prizewinning sausages (I fully expect them to cook and serve themselves for the price), stuffed those into my hydration pack thing and ran home. Was pretty pooped today, probably due to hormones, so had quite a few a walk breaks but feel better for doing it.

1005.2

X-post there with @Amaura!

1016.7

Yay, over 1000 miles, that's an impressive total! I managed 7 miles last night, annoyingly 0.1 short of my 30k weekly goal. But I may end up going out again tonight - I should be doing half marathon training but can't fit in longer runs at the moment, so am experimenting with running back to back instead.

1023.7

A stunning 10km this morning along the coast road (no pics, maybe next time, loving everyone else's!).

Cold but no wind, so although I'm still slow, I felt strong.

@UnaOfStormhold my weekly is also currently 30km. I want to add a mile a week mid Feb, just making sure i can maintain this amount for a few more weeks before pushing again.

Another one who only has black coffee before running - I run early, so don't have time anyway!

1029.7

I’m so proud of all of us - horrible weather, lockdown, home schooling and all and we still did well over 1000 miles in a month between us. Go us 💪

Yay. Well done everyone. 1000 miles.
Can we do the same in February.........

spudlet is your butchers a local butchers for local people?

Came on to make sure I contributed my miles to get over the 1000 and we’d smashed it already!

Was super tired today. 14m and I was dragging by the end. Felt a bit dejected and then looked at Strava which said I had done an 11m run with less hills a few weeks ago at a higher hr and slower. So I guess I am getting fitter. It was hard work today - all mud and frozen flooded roads

Love the pics - esp the NZ summer one - it made me long for summer!
