oooh lurkio where you off to?? just be careful not to hit me on the head ok!!! good news re not aching that body is obviously adjusting to the rigours.. i'm going to be brave in a bit and put my current weight and target onto my sig. gulp!! sparkles it is absolutely fine to run a few days in a row, just vary the distances. the best advice i can give (no expert believe me!!) is to listen to your body... it will tell you. x

off to the land where I grew up to continue my mid-life crisis :rotfl:

Well done all who got out :T :T

marru - chill. that's an order!! :cool:

I wouldn't worry about the speed of it, P (which was excellent, in any event).....just concentrate on getting the miles under your feet. The speed will just happen later.

Starting Week 5 on Saturday - eek!

Well done on your run Pania....the speeds will get faster the more and longer you run..but you know that! Its taken me 2 years of continious running to get from 11-12 mins miles down to just under 9 min miles...

pania

and today in not so happy news, pania has an ouchy knee.. pooh pooh and pooh!! it was going so well!! will drop the distance back and go for shorter faster runs for a few days and ice it when i get in from work. I AM NOT going to have problems with it again!!! NOT NOT NOT!!! **stamps foot like petulant child!**

welldone sparkles on getting out there and thanks sally and hypno for the encouragement! hypno pack your running kit for next week!! and marru, yes relax.. it will come, your body will tell you when you are pushing it and when you are ready to progress. xx

Don't stamp your foot!!!! you'll hurt your knee that way.... :rotfl:

Seriously... go easy. As frustrating as it is, you don't want to aggravate anything.

pania

problem is lurkio as soon as i do anything i aggravate it!! wonder if they will make couch potatoing an olympic sport anytime soon!! think we are heading down the surgery route if it doesnt go away... I feel an ice bath coming on!! yuk!! :rotfl:

How is it going your end have you been out lately?

hypno06

If you MUST run, P.....and why would you EVER listen to ANYTHING I say.......do not worry about going fast!!!!! Just trundle along, enjoy the air, and don't put yourself under any more stress!

Speed doesn't matter......reducing the risk of damage does!

Well done with your runs P and H and Pania good luck with your adventures next year but look after that knee now!

And Hi by the way :rotfl:
