Hoping the sick people are less sick now! Doesn't sound like some of you are

Running club seems to be seriously agreeing with you Linda!

Keep going pinkhayley - what 1Hannah says is true for me too - I didn't run before February of this year. It gets better/easier/more fun. Honest! To the extent you miss it when you don't do it - as you can see from some of the posts of those trying to infect the rest of us

tirlittan - the only thing I think the Drs do is peak flow which is only the short sharp power part of lung capacity. And becky - running hasn't helped mine - it's still pants (less than half what someone of my age/stature should be)! Drs always moan at me for it! There is another test I had done once as a child at a hospital which is about length of time breathing out rather than force of breath out - I was good at that one...

Running in the rain rocks - so long as there is not an accompanying bitter wind I've decided. Though I suppose a breathable windproof should do the job there...

I'm reporting 3 more runs since I was last here - yep 4 consecutive days running! And I have full hold of the tigger legs right now! :cool:

Tuesday - 4.1 miles in 40:18 (9:49/mile) - could really feel the legs from the 8m on Monday and I felt hungry enroute - can't remember the last time that happened?!
Wednesday - 4.4 miles in 41:48 (9:29/mile)
Thursday - 5 miles in 46:47 (9:19/mile) - didn't feel fast, but obviously wasn't too slouchy! A couple of (just) sub 9 minute miles in there too (and a nasty stitch)

Final weekly total = 21.5 miles

Unlikely to get out on Saturday due to other commitments. No idea about Sunday, but I may cross train or something as I've reached my weekly mileage target (20). Will see how I feel hence the final weekly total above.

night night Becky xx, want to go to bed myself but oh is moaning at me 'its only 9!'

Hey some good running there Krider! puts my measly 10m this week into perspective, can't wait til I'm running 9mm pace again, can't believe how much I've missed it (well I can, got muffin top and a c cup to show for it lol!!!)

Good work, Krider.:D

And speeding up as the week goes on...it shows that your body is enjoying itself.....

Simplycynical

Wow, well done krider looks like you're taking excellent care of those Tigger legs for me. Please don't wear them out though I'm gonna need to borrow them again soon

For the wuss who doesnt like wet feet (BJ) SealSkinz do waterproof socks which I guess would be much better than sweaty waterproof shoes.

My eldest's birthday yesterday I took him to KFC and we had this conversation.

Me: Now look lad If you dont like your present tell me then we can change it for something you want as it was a lot of money.
Him: I cant do that, theres children in this country get no presents so we should be thankfull for what we get. :A

Thank goodness he liked it anyway

Sheesh I feel like a threadslayer where is everyone this morning?

I did 4.5m of hill work at an easy pace yesterday. Im going to do a 9 miler today.

I pinched oh's windproof gloves for running when its cold :money: They're like new apparently they arent warm enough for her :rolleyes:. I should probably buy a proper running hat( baseball type). I dont like them but I like rain on my glasses even less cos that means I cant see where im running :eek:. Im using my Tobermoray distillery baseball cap at the mo :rotfl:
