Afternoon all.
WOW your all doing sooooo well.
Iv not been out much lately due to the cold weather being perticular icy around here.
I have managed to keep up the circuit training, the knee feels a lot better know it just seems to come and go, so hopefully iv gotten over th worse of it.
Had that stupid virus last week that ruined any training that i had planned didnt even make it into work.
I managed to get the fit test in on tuesday after a perticular hard legs circuit on monday and managed to get to 9.4 only 6 shuttles off passing thats 120 metres really peeved off but never mind just means i can smash it next time.
Hoping to get my butt out of the door this weekend and put some more miles into my legs.

Well this running is helping the weight fall off, a stone in just over a month.

May do a x-train session at the gym before my dreaded night shift....

I celebrated my weight loss by treating myself to a fry up this morning as with all this running lark, I know I'm allowed to.

Oooo fry up - havent had one for ages - good suggestion Rusty

Well done on the weight loss by the way!

I do love a good fry up as well. And if you're doing lots of running, you can have one without guilt!

Played football at lunchtime, but as we had 2 subs today I don't feel like I've had a proper work out. Need a run tonight I think. On the plus side, there is no sign of any knee trouble, but I will continue to go easy.

Went out today on a slightly longer run...really didn't enjoy it at all...

By 1.5 miles my MP3 player ran out of battery, which sucked.

At 2 miles I was really feeling like it wasn't coming as easy as it normally does.

At 3 miles I had to run through around 8 inches of water. My feet got wet. And cold.

At 4 miles I really wished I wasn't 4 miles from work.

At 5 miles I officially went into "limp home mode" just to try and get back.

At 6 miles my nipple started to feel significantly sore.

At 10k I removed my tops and started running topless.

At 7.5 miles I was way colder than someone who's just run 7.5 miles should be.

At 8 miles I stopped and got dressed again, walked the last half mile back.

Feel a little bit exposed now, quite shattered and fairly sure I wanna go home!

I don't know if it's just down to footy on weds then the moderately brisk 5miler yesterday. Maybe it was just "one of those days". Maybe it was the 6 pints I had last night. Maybe it was the drunked running I did to the train station from the pub...Who knows...:) But one way or another, it wasn't a good day, runningwise.

Never mind idio, just try to shrug it off as "one of those days" the ipod, wet & cold feet etc. didn't really help. It will be different the next time you set out.

Idio - should have checked the calendar before you went out eh?!?
