A wet and windy run for me this morning - it was more than a little bit blustery but it woke me up quite nicely.

Nice running Becky and Uk - I sometimes run with a backpack but wouldn't fancy running with books in it. Carrying water on my LSR's is enough for me.

sorry I haven't been posting recently, life has been pretty hectic with one thing or another and running has been way down the list of priorities but hoping I have turned a corner now
I managed a 4m & 8m last week and today did a new longest distance.
Todays was 11miles in 2:11:40 11:58/mile
only about 4/5 weeks til the 1/2 marathon now so well behind on the trainning plan but I must say it has been great to be back out there again though xxx
Hope everyone is running well & doing ok, I will try and catch up again on the thread over the weekend x

Went to run club tonight, it's -1 and we were all freezing!

The moon looked fantastic though!
I found tonight's short one harder than Wednesday's 8 miler :eek:
I felt really stiff, couldn't 'relax' into a comfortable pace at all, I think it's just that it's so cold I don't think it helped that I hadn't eaten much today, just a cornish pasty and a yoghurt at Uni at 12.30.

I nearly didn't go tonight -nasty monthly tummy pains -but then at the last minute I decided to get off my butt and go, I knew that I'd feel better for going!

Sat30/1 parkrun Reading 5K 18:53 (6:05/mile) (4th)

A very frosty Reading this morning meant that the backup 3 lap course was used rather than the usual 2 lapper. The ice on top of flooding on the usual course made it impassable.

But the firmness actually made the course we did run pretty good. Pleased with another solid sub-19 performance and 4th place.

But, yet again another barn storming performance from Becky smashing last week's PB of 23:25 into pieces with a time of 22:48 (7:21/mile). Is there no stopping her.....?

So that completes the tour of 11 different parkruns in two calendar months and what a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was.:D:D

:j:j:j my racing shoes have run 3 times and scored me 3 pbs - excellent work :rotfl::rotfl:

And news of another storming PB performance:

Beer Tins has landed a 22:24 (7:13/mile) at Bromley taking an impressive chunk off the previous best of 22:44. :T

And a new best WAVA of 57.92%.

Rich, Becky, Beertins,

amazing. i need to have another go at one soon.....i loved my wimbledon ones...

7 miles today at 9.20 pace.
knee was still a bit achy but i have decided to get out there tomorrow for my 14 miler.
should be ok....


lovely sunny day down here......:cool2:

becky_rtw

Well done Mascott - keep it steady tomorrow and see how the knee holds up - might be worth doing a course where you can cut back early if needs be
