I wanna learn how to run !

Kido

Congratulations K9. Sadly my running schedule has taken a major knock already. I had cramp in my calf and it's not recovered properly and the pain has now spread down and into my foot. Physio here I come. Joy...

Claudie

A huge congrats K9 and well done!

Thanks for the encouragement AMO and others, I would say thanks but my button has vanished?!

Off on hols but back in Sept - hopefully well rested and motivated. Had to see GP about my dodgy chest and as I thought I may have had an asthma attack and I am still badly wheezy from last week. A few weeks of puffer and sun and I will be back with you

Claudie

How is everyone doing? It is very quiet here?

It has all gone horribly wrong here at ours. I ate far too many ice creams and put on half a stone in a week - it was a lovely week and I loved it but feel v v guilty now! And when we got back on Saturday I had a nasty fall in the kitchen (while sober, how stupid!) and I have twisted my ankle and have a huge cut on my arm and have pulled something somewhere in my tummy and can barely move.

My 10km is in 3 weeks. I am so unfit I feel right back at square one.....any tips on how to learn to run a 10km in 3 weeks?!

I'm injuired! Pull a ligament in my foot in the shower after an 8km run!! doh.. they said I need to rest 4-6 weeks.. no chance as my run is in 2 weeks!! I've sat on my bum the last 4 days.. and will cycle as that's low impact and run as least as possible until my run!

I'm hoping I can still nail the run in under 1 hour.. not so sure now! :S

Good luck to everyone recovering from injury. I made mine far worse. I couldn't walk without a lot of pain in my calf but found I could run quite easily. This was apparently a big mistake as I've apparently torn the calf muscle. It was feeling better today so thought I'd go for a short walk at lunch time, another big mistake. I felt the muscle tear again. Oh well, I've got another physio appointment tomorrow.

My Oasics lip balm turned up today! Thanks for the link Claudia!!

Claudie

Got mine too - it is sweet isn't it?

How are all the injured? My leg and side feel much better so we may do 1 mile on Sunday to try and get motivated again. I just bought a new running belt so I must get back at it!

Hope everyone is well soon.

Well a week today until my 8k!!! Doing my last 8k run tomorrow... then cycling the rest of the week. Fingers crossed it all goes ok!

Claudie

So how did you do K9? Did you give it a go?

We did our first proper run today in many weeks - managed 4km in 30 minutes but we were v tired; I imagine with 5 minutes more walking I oculd have done another 4km..at least I hope so as our 10km is next weekend. I have a feeling I may end up walking more than running. But back on track next week - I have promised myself!
