Excuses Excuses!!

Go on then, we'll let you off for a bit! I'm up at 5.45am tomorrow for a gentle 30 mins - of course with the bronze and waxed legs :rotfl:

Its days like this when I love running, I can feel myself getting fitter and the miles don't seem so daunting. I did 4 miles this evening I went down by the beach, the tide was in so it was lovely and cool.

I can't believe the amount of people who drive down to the beach and just sit in their cars! And that's the younger couples too

I had a few words with some teenage lads who decided to wheel spin their bikes behind me and frighten the life out of me, I don't think they expected me to run after them and get them to do it again as I really thought they were 'big'. I told them where to go and they scampered home! Hubbie not impressed and I wouldn't have said anything if there wasn't loads of people about. :mad:

Anyway back to the running, I going to do 4 miles again tomorrow then on Wednesday DH and I are going to do some speed work :eek: Not sure if I'm looking forward to that one or not.

Glad everyone is getting out there, half the battle is putting on your trainers sometimes and once you're out it's fine.

I never look forward to speedwork evab, although when I keep at it regularly I really see the benefit

That's so true, once the trainers are on there's no going back. Since going out on my own last week I know that even if my friend can't run then I will go alone and this is the deal we have struck. She hates it if I run without her (incase I beat her :rotfl: ) so our incentive is to run alone if the other can't run so that the other feels like they're missing out - does that make any sense at all I have just drunk a glass of rose

Hi Guys!!

BA, are you flirting just a little in your post there? Tsk!:D
Good for you evab, speedwork though...:eek: Does anyone have a training schedule for speedwork at all? remember one in runners world a while ago but had to ditch all my copies during house move.
good for you for having the guts to give those two little oicks a piece of your mind. think you should've used the simpsons stylee on them!!:rotfl:

Well i made it out as promised, just a little one round the village bout two miles. back home now, collapsed ont sofa knackered!! OH got the hump as he downloaded pirates of the caribean for me and i fell asleep while watching it!
He's turned it off and gone upstairs with the hump now. Running may be good for the body and soul but realtionships forget it!! He he!!

Have promised my little running partner (DP) that i'll take him out for a run in the morning, running up and down the fence line together just ain't shifting the pounds on either of us!!

think i may go have a post run bath....

Hi all

I've just read through this thread and I am sooo impressed with you all! You're doing fab

I ran for a while a few years ago before getting pregnant with my son, and would really like to get back into it. I can't afford new trainers, but have some decent ones still. however, I am scared of hurting my back again as I did it in by overdoing it at the gym in feb and am worried about doing it again.

Has anyone any hints of what I could start off doing in order to protect my back so tht I can start running again? I didn't like running at first, but it didn't half tone my wobbly bits after a while

I ran with Dh early last week and ended up having a row with him as he wouldn't slow down for me :mad: when he did slow down I overtook him and as waiting for him for about 5 mins at the end :rotfl:

He drove home in a sulk and didn't speak to me all night and accused me of being competitive :rotfl: We have agreed never again :j
