    I can imagine it does feel like treading water when its wet around Roundshaw, BT.

    We've decided to have a crack at Bromley next week if you fancy it - flat and mostly on tarmac. Is that a convenient one for you?

    Bromley sounds good to me. Not really much further for me than Roundshaw. Hope to see you there!

  • I'm fine, just did one lap, slipping and sliding everywhere so completely rubbish time, and thought - what's the point, I didn't even feel like I was getting a run in, or any exercise, so I bailed out after one lap. However, I was the only one who bailed out, everyone else carried on and completed the course - so, disappointed with myself. Moving on!

    No park run for me yesterday. Had a long lie-in instead and obviously needed it as just slept and slept and then slept some more...
    Well done everyone else,esp Becky and Rich for your 3rd positions.

    I went for a swim late afternoon so had at least some exercise. Now off to REading for couple of matches.

    Proud to have dealt with my debts!

    Hello all, just a flyer from me as its manic here at the minute.

    I did the Reindeer run 10k this morning in 1:12:41 taking nearly 5mins off the Swansea Bay 10k in Sept so really happy as there was a rather nasty hilly section in this one x

    :(:(
    Today's run felt like hard work from the start and, despite it being a perfect running day, I never really felt like I got into it. I could feel my right hip niggling after a couple of miles and at mile 5 it started to go into spasm and my back hurt, at about 5 1/2 miles my right calf was niggling and I could feel myself starting to limp. I cut the run short at 6 miles (when I got to the end of the first loop) and walked about a mile home. I generally feel tired/under the weather and have a bit of a headache but I think that's because I'm not sleeping properly at the moment.

    I'm not sure what to do now, I can:

    i) have a rest week to see if the niggle in my hip/back clears up
    ii) have an easy week - running my scheduled runs slowly to keep my mileage up
    iii) carry on as scheduled and see what happens

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Hannah - well done on your PB that's a great result :T

    Simply - Dont be concerned, sounds like mere niggles.:D Just let your body catch up with itself. Go for a short walk for a few days instead and everything should mend quite nicely.
