well done sw thats fab! How are people doing? I cant run for a couple of weeks as burst one of my stitches...hopefully will be able to go for a swim sometime this week! How are you all feeling? Not that long to go now is it?!

Ouch, hope you're ok!

I've not been able to do anything this weekend as my lower back decided to seize up on me Thursday night. Really annoying as I'd planned a lovely ten mile walk It's easing off now, but I think I need to go back to doing something like pilates for some core strength.

Hope everyone else is doing alright!!

:hello: fellow runners and walkers

Am just sat with feet in warm fizzy water. I did 13 miles today but not without a mini tantrum it has to be said Basically chased my DH for 8 miles as he's faster than me and then flipped, stropped, cried (yes in public :rotfl: ) asked if he deliberately picked the hilliest runs, and proceeded to rant that I was dropping out of the marathon. Gave him the house key and declared that I was getting the bus home. After a great deal of persuasion DH decided to run ahead...... then I felt rather stupid and kicked myself up the !!!! and ran home :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sure it's hormones:rolleyes: so including rants and strops I did 13 miles in 2hrs 02 Bless DH though, he was encouraging me so much as I was so mardy - ah well, what else are husband's there for

RS and ISOM, hope you are both feeling able to do something soon - would send you a dodgy hug, but they are just too dodgy

Oh dear Im in trouble

Have tweaked my hamstring and it is tight as hell, not sure I can do this now, seeing physio in an hour, Im really worried Ive balls this up

Hope you're ok SW - I know I have been very very achey and twingey last few weeks, are your trainers ok? I am replacing mine in hope that fixes things.

Fingers crossed as I can only imagine how gutted I would be if I didn't get to do the Marathon, esp after all the training. Really hope you are ok to do it.

Good luck

Yes we are all in that worrying 6 weeks before the Marathon stage. Just been for a long run and fighting the negative thoughts about whether I will be ready enough.

Hope the hamstring is going to be OK SW and the lower back redsquirrel.

BA - doesn't sound you have much to complain about. You have someone there to encourage you and bring the best out in you! I know it probably does not seem like it at the time. Oh and can I have one of those dodgy hugs?

blackangeluk

Wise words as ever cnoelj! I think it is just the impending task ahead and I have so many doubts about whether I can do it, paranoid about injury and also suffer negative thoughts whilst running - really need to find other things to think about instead :rolleyes:

How is your training going BTW

oh and here you go :grouphug: :grouphug:

great idea!!

I did the Reading Half Marathon yesterday and am aching today! Really bad race unfortunately but I'm doing the Bath half in two weeks time so will hopefully have a better day out then

Am training for the Edinburgh Marathon on the 25th May, and then doing triathlon's all summer leading to a half Ironman in September.

Good luck to everyone, running is fantastic way to keep fit, fight body fat and improve confidence and all you need is a decent pair of trainers!

Hi all

Just got back, Physio says it isnt torn because I would be liming when walking and Im not, its just a bit tight; Have to stay off the running for a week and get on the bike and then we can re-evaluate, he reckons there will be no problem with running the marathon in 6 weeks

cnoelj

That sounds like good news. You must be pleased

Over the moon but wary and that first run after injury is going to be a bit nervy
