    Thanks but I cheated a little - I used visualisation of me crossing the finish line in the time I was after and I forgot almost to start running when the start happened - it took me totally by surprise :D

    It was quite annoying to see 400 runners pass me through the course of the race though - but I just kept saying to myself - 'run your own race dont caught up with everyone else' and I kind of forgot they were there really - probably why I was chatting for two miles and not quite at my full racing pace :D

    Sorry for subjecting you to my singing on the way back to London Rich - poor you :(

    7:30am and nobody has posted a run yet?:rolleyes:

    As strange as it seems, that is quite a rarity recently...............but Monday is a convenient rest day for a lot of people!

    Good luck to everyone who is planning to go out today!:D :D:D

  • Ukevas, it still counts when you run a good time on the flat - even if we northerners do tend to think of it as cheating!:p :p

  • Well Morning all.
    I cannot believe it iv had weekend of rest, just catching up on sleep and iv missed the start of the new thread and 5 pages of wonderful support and excellent time.
    Well done rich and becks on your race.
    Ukevas well done on getting a faster time you most be pleased, i know im happy everytime i managed to beat a distance time.
    Iv got some sort of circuit training today, so if its not too hard i may go for a run, just depends on if its overloading the legs, will have to give a run a miss.

    Hey guys..

    Ooh, shiney new thread - how exciting!

    Well, my "get back to running thing" is still more or less on track, after the 5.5 on thursay, had a rest, then 7.75 on Saturday (1:04something - 8:29 pace) and am hopefully off out today.

    At the risk of sounding like an old lady, though, I fell in the supermarket yesterday and landed on my knee and hip, which has made them a little sore. If they're stiff when I get out, I might take it easy, but hope I'll be ok.

    Well done on the race Rich, Becky - great running...and a *fantastic* time, Rich...

    Are we gonna have a race calendar on this thread, or has that fallen by the wayside?

    Rich can you import the race list later from the old thread later?

    Well done on getting out Idio - nice running - did the pace feel tough or easy going?? Sorry about your fall though!

    Enjoy circuits JJ (you nutter ;))!

    Oh and another thing - I ran over 40 miles last week for the first time ever and am hoping to get over 50 this week :D
