    I ran this morning for the usual run and route before work.

    3 runs this week and one more on Sunday I think - if the weather holds ok

  • Haven't been running again - just been away for a few days and I've been doing lots of walking, cycling and swimming so hopefully that will keep some relative fitness :undecided I'm having vague thoughts about getting back to it in the next few days :o

    I had 10 days off running with a terrible cold and cough. Nearly talked myself out of going tonight but talked myself back into it again when I got home, and very pleased I did. Stuck to the usual short route and it went really well.

    Will try and fit at least another 2 in this week - maybe even 3!

  • As per usual for me lately not much running done :( I have a sneaking suspicion that I am bored of running on the treadmill so must get my confidence sorted out to run outside - my new years resolution I suspect :D Happy running for all those getting out there x

    Another run this evening and very enjoyable. not going that far, only about 4 miles but its good for me to keep ticking over in the dark evenings.

    LMH - When I started running I felt really embarrassed as I could hardly run for 30seconds, then thought to myself - what does it matter if someone is looking, at least I'm doing some activity. Then the embarrassment went away as I concentrated on why I wanted to start running again. To get fit, get some exercise and feel better about myself as a result - and it worked!

    I have just come back from the best 6 mile run I have ever done. So pleased I went and all the interval training has paid off. So glad I went out! First time I've done any exercise on Christmas Eve too!

    Yesterday I did my usual 4 mile route

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Well done on all the running done. I've been still having my cold so have kind of decided just to relax this christmas and hoping to kick the cold on its head before I return to work so I can start exercising properly again.

    I hope you're feeling better now tirlittan.

    My cold has finally gone away and I hope that it's the last one now!

    Went out for a quick 30min sprint run today which was quite hard work but pleased I did it and I know it will get easier the more I do it

    Longer run today of 45mins which went pretty well considering I felt a little fragile first thing! Hoping tomorrow is ok to go a bit further
