    Well I'm back, and after thinking it was quite hard going over that short 4 mile route, I surprised myself by running in a time of 36mins which is a good time for me.

    Glad I didn't leave it any later as it was very warm on the way back. Next run planned is for Sunday

    Well done sparkles! Nice to have you up and running again!

    Friend at work has bought a new gadget, exercise computer or something and he texted me last night asking if I wanted to go for a run this lunch time. I said it was going to be hot but he still wants to go. We only going to get his prescription from his doctor, so about 1.2 miles there and then back.

    2.6 miles done, boiling!! Could take it easy though as my friend's a bit slower than I. More miles in the bank though. :)

    Just back from quite a disappointing 6mile run in 60 mins - longer than usual and I can really feel that time off now. Will get it back though over the next couple of weeks by bring consistent and building up some stamina and strength again.

    Boiling when I got back and very glad its done!

    Don't be too disappointed sprakles. You've been laid off for awhile and 6miles in 60minutes is not that bad!

    I went for a run at 8.30am, 4.1 miles in 44:34.

    Easy 2.9mile run after work yesterday. Still hot but just took it easy. Need to really start upping the mileage a bit but hard work in the sun. About 4 miles seems to be my limit atm. At least I'm a bit more consistent now. Off mountain biking this weekend but will try to maybe get couple of 2/3milers in,maybe...

    Certainly is very warm out there and not my favourite weather to run in

    Anyhow,no run for me tonight as late home from work and way too hot so I have made a decision to go first thing in the morning for 4miles before work

    I wish I had time to go for a run before work but I'd have to get up before 5am!

    Just done a spin tonight and will get a run in tomorrow.

  • I'm still lurking ;) Went boxing yesterday and hurt in places I didn't know could hurt :D It's my birthday tomorrow and I might be too busy for a run so next one will probably be Thursday :)

    I went for the run first thing this morning. It was very hard work running 4 miles so its still taking time to regain some stamina and strength.

    Next run is Friday morning - happy running one and all and LMH hope you're not too achy
