Grrr, my sorbathane things have arrived but I can't get my original insoles out of my trainers. They're glued in. I've tried to just pull them off, but they're ripping and leaving chunks behind in the shoes. I'm knackered just wrestling with them.

i think people are running Idio, but the runs are getting lost in the chit chat non running related posts... of which i'm guilty too......

oh no! mines just came right on out... what kinda trainers?

Are they tight? i guess sticking sorbodoodahs on top would make them very tight?

This happened a little when I was trying to get my old ones out - had to pull off a few chunks seperate from the rest...just remember, you're putting the sorbathingies in on top, so it doesn't matter if there's the occasional *small* bit of the old ones left...

You are trying to recover and you watch Emmerdale and Corrie. What are you? A glutten for punishment. Just the sight of Norris or Gail gets me reaching for the sick bucket. And that is before they start whineing

Anyway I had a good run this morning. Perfect autumn weather. leaves changing colour and falling from the trees. What more could a man want. Well my former fitness for starters. But we are getting there!

I'm going to resist temptation and not rise to the bait!

Gentle inclines are what is required - length rather than steepness. Although my memory of Battersea Park is that its totally flat or have I got a bad memory? There was definitely a running track there.

Afternoon all

Won't bore you all with details but feeling at the moment. Only thing keeping me smiling is the running.

So idio as per my training plan (thanks rich this week consists of Mon ( 2miles cycling) Tues (2 mile brisk walk) Wed (4 mile fartlek run) thurs (2 miles cycling) friday (4 miles easy run) saturday (DAY OFF!!) Sunday( 10 mile distance run)

I would like to get a good swim in there too but time dictates as does the fact that I am sooo behind with uni work and spending quality time with DD so will see what evening I might be able to squeeze one in.

I was just looking at the terrain view on mapmyrun
