    Would it be unfair to say he might be better off doing less talking about running and more actual running?

    Glad you managed not to actually fall over Becky!

    Went out for a 4 mile tempo last night but had to abandon at 2 miles due to sudden attack of stomach pain (it had been a bit dodgy earlier but OUCH). So 2 miles in 19:26 followed by 2 miles walk/ jog home with something of a sense of urgency!

    Hi guys, not much to report from me.

    Just finished fitting the carpet in my back room and we have moved in. Now to begin work on the front bedroom. It never ends!

    I don't know if anyone has posted this link before, but there is a facebook page for parkrun: http://www.facebook.com/parkrun

    They send updates from time to time.

    Meant to say had a reply from realbuzz regarding their useless quiz:
    Thank you for contacting realbuzz.com with your feedback.

    I am sorry to hear that you found some of the answers in the quiz misleading. The quiz was devised by a qualified fitness professional, as is all of the advice we give out on the site. We have taken your comments on board and have passed on your feedback to the editorial department.

    Best Regards


    Mmmm thats a useful engaging response - which rubbish school of marketing did you go to numpty!

    Evening Peeps :hello:

    Hmmm, well I think that all my aches, pains and niggles last week were viral (again) as they seemed to mysteriously diminish over the course of yesterday. :confused: I don't feel 100% yet but there was no reason not to try an easy one this morning and it felt quite comfortable so I'll probably do the same again tomorrow.

    I think the festive spirit is starting to get to people as several of the cyclists that pass me in the mornings shouted out a greeting today and not one of them was offensive. :rotfl:

    Oooh red - a 2 mile trek home with a sense of urgency doesn't sound good. I hope everyone else has a good run tonight with no dramas.

  • Oh no Becky - you posted whilst I was still typing away. Sorry to hear that you are still having problems; it's so frustrating isn't it???

    No worries - it seems to be stemming from a tight calf muscle thats putting everything else offline - its not surprising really considering the stride adjustments I have been making...a few days and it'll be settled :)

    Glad to hear yours is getting better though :D
  • Ah, I'd forgotten that you were adjusting your stride - you're getting very good at being patient whilst these things sort themselves out. I've got a lot to learn :o
