Could only manage 3.5 miles today...maybe pushing myself to much? I might not run tomorrow and see how I do on Saturday, my legs just felt like lead today

Glad to see things are improving for you fedupandskint x

Sounds like you need to take it bit easier littlemisshappy
Good things come to those who wait.

Runs off for this weekend - I have a big infected toe! Super painful and swollen. Am now on super strength anti B's to sort it out so here's hoping it recovers quickly so I can keep the training going

I agree tirlittan so I've had a rest today and also had pasta for tea so I'll be ready for a nice long run tomorrow (hopefully!) I'm aiming for 8 miles...
Hope your toe is better asap fedupandskint - how frustrating for you when you are doing so well x

I didn't go for my 8 mile run because I went cycling instead (only 6 miles) but OMG!!! I have a very poorly behind ;)I haven't ridden a bike since I was 16......to compound this, the children were so excited about us going for a bike ride they made me and DH promise to go to their Grandparents today on our bikes too....my bottom is cringing but there we go

I doubt whether I will be getting a run in because of that, but maybe a good thing doing something other than running for a couple of days - I really enjoyed the ride yesterday so I'm ok with another bike ride, just wish it didn't hurt!

Back on the running tomorrow, though, when I will try for that elusive 8 miler

I thought to let you know that Liverpool marathon is off - just out of hospital had my vv done. Had to be done but running is off for at least a month; and I think that I'll drive me mad. On the bright side, I am allowed to walk as much as I can.

Firewalker - I can imagine how frustrating this is for you and I hope you feel better as a result. Don't worry about not running for a month as you need to recover then you can build back up again.

Mind you I feel pretty frustrated with no running this weekend and am busting to get back out there. Foot feels better but I guess I'd better make sure the infection is gone before going out there. Maybe Tues or Wed? Not sure, will have 2 days meds left on Wed and should be ok to get back out there again

firewalker - hope everything heals well and you are back up and 'running' in no time x
fedupandskint - have you been out yet and how did it go if you have?

Well, I managed 2 miles yesterday :eek: I don't know what's wrong with me I can only put it down to the cycling (my bottom is still a bit sore today!) so I am having another rest day today in the hopes that tomorrow I will finally get to do my 8 miler :cool: I'm thinking positive. In the mean time I have done an hours walking today, not strenuous walking, just enough to feel like I am doing a little bit of excercise. I may have to re-think cycling if this is how it will affect me :think:

Haven't been out yet as still waiting for foot to recover. It is much better now and I'm planning on going tomorrow if I feel up to it otherwise its Friday.
