Yep, I'm sure - I would seriously love to be fit enough to even consider a triathlon! Hmmmmmmm, now you've got me thinking! I already have a twin sis so I either have a stalker, a long lost triplet or a doppleganger (as if it's not enough that there are already two of me )

Ha ha .
I'm certainly not fit enough at the moment, but am planning to do the Bristol sprint tri next July. I haven't booked it yet but will soon and will look into joining the tri club in the new year.

I've wanted to do a tri for couple of years now but never done anything about it. Next year will be the year! That's why I need to get my base sorted, am so much unfitter than I was last year.

You'll do tirlittan I may even go and join TW to see what is needed to get myself fit enough to do it and we can train together (although that LMH may think I am stalking her!) Off for a run in a couple of minutes - I will be really trying for 3 miles today....looks like I got my mojo back by training in the morning!

ETA - only managed 2 miles but this time it was all together (last time I did 2 miles it was split into 1.25 miles, rest for 20 minutes, then the other 0.75 miles ) I will get there in the end

Hi ladies. I think there might not be any running tonight. We participated in a 'safari supper' last night and although I didn't drink that much we had a late night (for me) and went to bed at midnight. I am sooo tired I wish I could still be in bed. Some swimming planned for the weekend though.

No running for me today as my knee was a little sore last night and this morning so I thought it better not to risk it and giving it a rest for the day. I'm planning on running Sat and Sun though Hopefully Sat will be my 3 miles (I think this may be a psychological barrier for me!)

Never mind tirlittan, there's always next week Have fun swimming x

I made myself go for a run this morning. Breezy out there, glad its done today!

Same 40min interval today as recently. Hoping to get out again tomorrow for another run to make it 4 this week.

Hope you 2 feel better soon - LMH and tirlittan

Hi ladies!
I was going to give running a miss this week but as BF started watching F1 qualifying and I was reading my runners world mag, I decided I'd go for it! Felt really strong (prob as haven't really done anything this week) at the start and decided to try a new route which was lovely but mostly slightly downhill to begin with which obviously meant it was going to be uphill on the way back. I felt really really good and had a strong finish as well. Exactly what I needed for my motivation.

Hi everyone Didn't manage my run today because I was busy, but will definitely be running tomorrow Good on you tirlittan for getting out there and fedupandskint you are really motivating me too
