Discovered this morning that I've lost about half a stone since getting back into the running, wasn't a priority but I'm closer to my 'comfortable' weight now so quite happy with that

Well done Red it's lovely when you start seeing good results of all your hard work, I'm not going to weigh myself until the end of my challenge but I managed to fit into a pair of trousers today that I haven't worn for ages!

Off on a 3 miler this evening, brrrrr but at least it's not raining.

Bad knee still need to get to Dr's. Half term no childcare so no running for me at the moment and schedule out the window

It seems to me that it is a not bad thing then. It will give your knee more time to recover.

No its a good thing in a way Chris just very down about it all. Not sure what the knee thing is all about. I had to run from car to tesco this morning (whilst I left DD covered in sick in the car) and it was so painful.
Must buy some sorbathane thingys this week

There was some nice heavy thighs today after yesterday's intervals which shows they were done plenty hard enough.

Considering the heaviness and the fact that, as a result, the effort level had to be kept low it was a little surprising to see the fastest 10K so far - certainly another encouraging sign.

Hurray, hubby having kids for an hour tonight and he's agreed to bring them to the reservoir to play on the 'beach' (very generous description) so I can go running (it will be too dark at 6pm to be there alone).

I'm still managing two runs a week, albeit only 5k each, but I'm quite proud of that in the circumstances.

thats great snaggles...enjoy it and wrap up its cooooold out there!

cnoelj

Hope the knee soon gets better Sally.

Rest is often the best cure. However a medical opinion would be approprate if it seems as if it is going to be prolonged

Have a good run Snaggles.. and have a good rest Sally!

Thanks Sally - it's actually not been that bad here, we have had sun all day, and more importantly, not a great deal of that horrible icy wind that triggers my asthma. But it's starting to look distinctly wintery out there now.

Got to keep running though - it's my first night out as a single woman on Friday so got to look my best! :cool:


Edit - thanks Squizz too
