keep on running

[sfxmum]

new thread

Thanks everyone! feeling so much better today yay.

Will try my best to do a bit of training but don't want to kill myself over it. At least it's not a charity one so not letting anyone down (except me)

Thanks for ParkRun link. Will prob give the Richmond Park one a go one weekend. Anyone else done it there before?

sfx mum we are same age, me 41 in january.

i have got new running shoes and they are a mistake, toes all numb. but have had to try them twice to discover this and now must take them back to shop which is not a nice thought. what if they say it is all my fault and i've just got to pay for another pair? i am partly to blame - it is no news to me that my toes are long.

fishie am at the start of February

about shoes so far the Brooks adrenaline have been my better fit, fantastic shoes

not been running since Sunday awful flu like symptoms lots of shivering and aching and high temp yuck hope it goes soon, just want my bed

girsly definitely recommend a walk/ jog incremental programme it does wonders pretty quickly and gives you small achievable goes that keep you motivated

hope everyone is well

Hello

haven't run since my 10k a week last Saturday . Half term not good for running and having two training days on the end really doesn't help . probably not going to run again until this Saturday when I fear my muscles will complain. Will do it though

well phew-ish from scary return to running shop. they gave me replacements for agonising shoes. but then in abject gratitude i bought another pair so now have on and off road. so had better get on with it!

haha fishie

Sorry you are feeling poorly sfx, lots of it going round here too, apparently it is swine flu. The whole of Year 3 seem to have it.

Girls, how is it going?

I haven't had the chance to get out this week as there has been too much rain and things going on. I think I'll try for a 10k on Saturday morning.

don't think it it is the dreaded swine flu or even the garden variety, feel much better today after 3 days on intense shivering and feeling awful
can just about contemplate a run on Saturday
actually really looking forward t it

Glad you are on the mend sfx

Well, am going running tonight after 10 days on the bench with a bad back. It is hill training at my running club. Wish me luck!

Hope it goes well

good luck/ hope it went well

Hill training was...well nauseating! Apparently this is the desired effect though so all good! Was actually good fun and I pushed myself much more than I would have on my own. Also got great fireworks view from top of the hill!

Not sure about this weekend. Was building up 1 mile each week but keep getting set back. Did 9 miles 3 weeks ago, but not sure it would be wise to do 10 until I'm sure back is 100%. Might try 6. Really looking forward to it, whatever distance I do.

Hmmm.

My 10K is supposed to be on Sunday. It is a local running club 10k. I am number 126. I will come close to last going by previous year's results. I stubbed my previously broken little toe yesterday and it hurts. I have hardly trained since GNr.

Force me to run, guys!!!!!

Ow at hurt toe (I have previously broken little toe and if I stub it I am very saw).

You do seem to be good at doing fast times so maybe it will work?

I'M BACK!

probably haven't even been missed! .

just came back from my first run since i had swine flu, was really worried i wouldn't be able to run but i managed just over 2 miles, it took me 20 mins so pleased with that.

My word even more plaesed with self now as i just checked and the last run i did was 12th October i have been ill haven't i!

Anyway my running mojo is back

HURRRAH

Of course you've been missed morethan! Welcome back and well done!!!

popsy - you'll do great, don't worry!

Back feeling much better and it is such a lovely day so am throwing caution to the win and doing 10 miles.

Have just realised I typed saw instead of sore a few posts back. Feel rather .

I Am Going To Go Running.

hello all

glad you are better morethan

popsy good luck

finally went out for 3miles this morning slow but felt great

Hello all
Lovely run in sun and leaves this a.m. Glad to be alone with my ipod rather than being shouted at by a sergeant major which is what a lot of people were doing... And I did 10k which i cant always motivate myself to do so am pleased. And can pig out when i go out with my friend later
I would love to exchange running playlist cds if anyone is up for it. I am much slightly older than most of you so could offer late 70s tracks from my youth in exchange for some of the tracks you were mentioning a few posts back?

Popsy, all set for tomorrow?

Who kindly offered to do me a CD? I'd love to take you up on it!

yes I am running tomorrow
no really 'set' as such but amrunning
it is going to be very muddy and exposed and running clubbish
but I will do it.
Hardly trained but looking forward to a bit of peace

The Ketchup song is one that gets played at a music group DD and I go to. It is very bouncy and happy and inspires me to (a) clean kitchen and (b) run

in need of a kick p the arse

am lying in bed having persuaded dh to get up with the boys. talking myself out of my run. it will be very very muddy and very very exposed and i dont feel mentally ready for it.
i daren't lookot of the curtains

Am on phone at MIL so excuse typos.

Pops - I was going to say stay in bed and enjoy the lie in but realise now its a proper run so maybe you should go.
Do you think you'll regret it if you don't? It'll be fine once you're up and out ( she says hypocritically sulking having been up since six wondering why Mil hasn't come to loo k after her smallest grand daughter and knowing when she does, she'll say ho good it is she slept till 6. Which it is but I would still like to be in bed

anyway LOVING the playlists. Will post mine in full when I am at home and adding some of these tracks. Mmargherita t'was I who said I'd do a cd. Let me know anything particular you'd like.

Having had a week or so off running with half term I am back in the swing and did my two gym sessions this El. 5k both times, found it f5ine so working on getting my speed back up. Might get out later for a proper out sidey run unless I think of a suitable excuse

Good luck today popsy!
