Runsnetters keep on Mumming

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

May I?

oh glitterfairy that is fantastic!!! What a lovely dad
Just been chat to my job share partner at work who is also doing RFl on Sunday (along with another friedn at work). We are getting all excited. They have been running way longer than me but are used to longer distances and they have a bet that I will come in before they do.

anyway
we have a plan

duchess - my legs feel good. Tired but good and not at all painful. Thikning about it, I think it was a lack of stretching after Sunday's run. I went in the car and subsequently had to stretch back at the car in a residential area. I felt like a prat and didn't do half the stretching that I usually do. That will teach me

I did RFL last yr & didn't run the whole distance non stop until the actual race. Had ran for months before, doing the run, walk briskly thing. It seemed much easier on the day.

I quite enjoy running, just haven't been doing it properly since May & consequently feel sooo unhealthy. (Previously went 3 times a week & stepped the other days).

Thats lovley Glitterfairy.
Keep up the good work!

can I join? have not ran for about 25 years, how do I start?

have rickety knees that click, is that a bad sign, will I make them worse pounding pavements?

(popsycal - how is the sleep thing going? dd2 now in bed, not cot, and (fingers crossed) has gone ok since Sunday)

doublebluff - now you could always cancel that weekend away and run a 10k instead!

glitterfairy - what a thoughtful, considerate dad!

well i managed to drag my ass out tonight and do 3 miles. i always find the hardest part is actually getting my kit on, once im out it's never actually THAT bad!

This thread is so busy - it is great. I think that this new, improved weather helps

oh sorry oliveoil, didnt mean to ignore - x posts! im new here so will allow an oldtimer to give you advice!

oooh olive oil!!!!!!

First running:
about to post a link that has helped me go from a novice, amateur, non-runner to a 3 and a half mile in a reasonable time runner in 2 months....

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??!! dd2 is wailing from upstairs

I will be back when she has been bribed back to sleep

grrrrr

Joined womens running (well walking to start with) network when DS was 7 months, still BF at that stage. Walked dialy for twenty mintues and tried not to snack. Was 13 stone, DS now 14 months and i am 10st 11lb, still a few to go. Target is 10st 4lb. Running is the thing.

This thread iis gathering pace.
Iread somewhere that the largest uptake in running has been mums in their thirties.
Love to keep up with the demographics me!
Running is so much better that sweaty gym classes. Am going for a long run tomorrow AM, when DS2 is in nursery - my treat of the week!

Weel done yellow poo.

I started in my 30's

Hello new peeps.

I thinki mums in their thirties is popular for running (god - dreadful grammar!!!) as it is the most flexible thing and you realise you have to do something before it drops totally, never to return!!!!

Olive oil - now about the sleep...

am back, dh settled (which is a first as it is normally my presence required)

Hello new folks

I've only just started 'running' and am 31.

OO - i'm overweight (about 14st) and I have a right dodgy pelvis.

I think the key is a slow but steady start and my MOST important lesson so far - good running shoes.

The sleep

well

DH tookd boys to his parents for 2 nights last weekend....

MIL - Mrs Purposeful 'I will get him sorted; I am really strict with boys when they are in my housel he should be On A Routine By Now; they have great table manners with me......' Woman.....decided she would sleep with ds2 over the 2 nights. He woke several times and she agrees he has sleep apnoea (she was a practice manager of a GP surgery and therefore thinks she had a medicine degree.....) BUT

he has been slightly better.

No evening waking since returning.....
Potters into our room at some point without me noticing around 2 ish then sleeps til abot 5ish at which point he is pretty much ready for the day.....

Oh, running is (apart from the shoes...lol) the cheapest and most convenient exercise. It right on your doorstep after all....... I think thats why it appeals.

Certainly did from my POV.

I went for a run this evening. I was getting quite twitchy about not having run for 48 hours

I run for longer periods again, and came back 3 mins earlier . NO pain in my shins. Loving it.

Glitterfairy is getting up at 6 to go running tomorrow

And I must go been slacking lately

oh you are all too slow, call yourself runners

I have to go and make 2534 sandwiches for tomorrow, I will be back, maybe not till I am at 'work' tomorrow

can you link me a program pretty please? ie walk 1 min, go home and eat crisps etc
