Hello all! Are you still lurking? No updates for a fair while.

We went for a cycling holiday last week with BF. Started in Swansea and worked our way up the coast and to Mold in North Wales. 7 days and 421 miles. Had absolutely fab time!!!

Has helped my running as well though haven't done so much of that. On Tuesday went for a 5mile run and for the first time got all the way up this off-road uphill bit that haven't managed to run up before, so very pleased with that.

4 weeks and my half mara is on and I haven't done nearly enough training, just fell off the wagon for awhile. However, I'm still gonna line up at the start and do my best. Trying to get in at 2.30 hrs.

Did my longest run ever tonight, 8.38 miles.

5.1 mile run today. Legs definitely getting stronger, managed the off road uphill and carried on running after all the way to the end.

Come back people!! Surely it's time to run now.

10miles yesterday, can't believe I did it!

Well, I seem to be here all on my lonesome but,

today I ran the Bristol half mara. It took me around 2hr 40min, official times not out yet. Felt good till 8/9miles then started to slow down. Last 3 miles were the hardest, and a little stupid incline at mile 11. But the very last time was a killer, I almost wanted to give up but I kept telling myself I could do it and that I was gong to run all the way and I did, just. Next time I definitely need to do more training. I want to get down to 2hrs.

Chip time: 2:20:22! I'm so much happier with that!

Well done Tirlittan! Well done on your half marathon, great time too!

Not just you - I took my running stuff on holiday and managed one run with all the rubbish weather last week. Nice run though although a little out a practice!

Planning one run this week as I've been focusing on strength and toning over the summer. Just about to finish Ripped in 30 this week which has gone very well indeed

Well I did it, finally got up for a run again on a Sunday morning - 10k and really enjoyed it too!
