Dont push it - I know you're frustrated but the last thing you want is too make it worse by going back too soon and then be out for months and months!

You'll be running sub 25 soon enough

Thanks Hypno - I'm currently relaxing now (and for the rest of the day )

However, I entered Sussex Beacon yesterday and it looking pretty full so Sally and Rich if you're going to enter I would do it asap!

Have you finished your binge-drinking now?! Laughed that you were a bit tipsy this morning...you stilll managed a brilliant run though!

Hypno, I'm doing the housework thing too this morning.... I can't say I've got very far hehe. I'm hitting the gym later this afternoon.

Rich, I love reading about your progress and times. Always gives me belief that I can get better!

Okay a few stats from this morning's 5K race re Becky's run which are rather impressive:

16th out of 56 ladies.

164th out of 664 in the all-time Ladies league for this course.

Age grading 60.08%

This was the first time racing at 5K or anywhere near as sharp as this, so I think a big well done Becky is deserved all round!:D

Hi everybody. Great running this morning Rich and Becky. That sub-20 is dangling tantalisingly in front of you isn't it Rich? And Becky, a big dose of self-belief is needed. You were predicting sub-26 and you ended up convincingly sub-25! Fantastic running both of you!

I found this morning really tough for some reason. Last weekend I ran 15 miles and was skipping along right to the end. This morning I did just over 12 and the last 4 were such a slog. I felt like a different person from last weekend. Anyway, even though I didn't really 'enjoy' it as such, I am now feeling totally hyper and I'm buzzing .

Lets see if the legs still have a decent 10k left in them for tomorrow.

As instructed by Rich (and very deservedly so): WELL DONE BECKY!! (Is that big enough?)

Thanks Chick,

Still buzzing a little

Dont worry about the run - its better to take it easy today and push for the race tomorrow, besides 12miles is a good run!

Good luck tomorrow!!

Well done Chickadee - 12 miles is another good block of miles in the legs. The struggle towards the end is no big deal, it could simply have been a little too quick or even if you had run later today a few hours more recovery might have meant you wouldn't have had the struggle.

So another big stride forwards.

Good luck with the Chernobyl tomorrow. Beating 53:13 would be nice, but considering you're not resting before it something around 55:00 - 56:00 would be a decent performance.

PS Yes it is plenty big enough - we don't want her ego getting too carried away!:p
