Well done sparkles!

I almost talked myself out of going for a run tonight as I was feeling pretty tired, but something someone said on one thread made me realise I was just making excuses. So, 5.2 miles later I'm very happy that I've done it. Slow and steady as this is my 'long' run at the moment.

Up and out this morning for another 4 mile run in 38.5 mins. Went much better than the other day. Still a bit of a slog and a plod but better all the same.

Might try out my new handweights tonight on my stepper routine if I get time

No exercising for me at the moment except of the brain variety! Roll on Monday night (exam Monday afternoon) Hope you are all out there running, I will be joining in again soon! x

I went for a run after work - 6 miles which was rubbish and hard work. Not getting any better yet and I feel so far away from the 13 mile mark I was at 8 weeks ago. How times change?

Have a very tight right leg muscle too which needs a lot of stretching out as I could feel it being sore on the run today which was one of the reasons it didn't go very well. Could also feel myself lacking in stamina - where has it gone?

Oh well must keep on running and keep going to recover the strength and stamina again

Hi Tirl, its true 3 times a week has to be the minimum for me to get results.
Just had a week in cornwall, and managed to do my back in on day two, so not a single run.
The good news is thats its back to normal now, so off out tonight.

Well done LMH good to see you are enjoying it.

Hopefully a few others will feel the calling....:)

Only 2.37 miles today but at a faster pace than usually. Then spin after.
Long run tomorrow.

Good luck on your long run

Thanks LMH!

5.3miles for me yesterday. Uphills were bit more of a struggle after yesterday's run and spin but I did manage! Finally starting to feel that if I keep this up, it'll get easier and I'll get faster.

Great going tirlittan I am back to just walking I don't want to say that I can't find the time because I could but it would be at the expense of something else - I am just up to my ears at the moment! Must prioritise it

Hey, where is everyone???

Was supposed to go for a proper run after work but had to stay later so ended up just doing 2.65 miles on treddie before body pump.
