Hi all, I haven't been out at all - enjoying time with the family and getting sleep where possible as ds moved into his own room and trying to establish a routine with him for when I go back to work.

Not sure if I'll be out this evening or tomorrow as need to check with hubbie so we can get back to alternate days.

I'm very impressed with all your runs, well done everyone but brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it's cold!

Sorry you havent been able to get out evab...running keeps you warm though so its better than being out walking around

Hope you get some in soon...

Yesterday I tried the 15 again, but gave up again (13.8) *sob* - just such a failure of mental strength...After around 12 miles I really find I have to use my mind to pick each leg up, move it forward, put it down again...Found myself stopping and saying "just can't do it"...and I'm like "what do you mean *can't* - get moving lardboy..." but to no avail.

Well done Idio just for getting out there in what sounded like horrible conditions. When I was doing long runs in marathon training (several years ago) I used to find that it was the boredom that got to me eventually. Every credit to you for doing 13.8. Not many people would have even had a go in the conditions you described.

I get that - I want to give up thing too, usually about a mile or two from the finish - I try to zone out by thinking about how I'm going to post my finishing time on here and what exactly I'm going to write...stops me thinking about the pain in my buttocks long enough to get back into the rhythm again

You know, the discipline of having to post on here has made me get off my lazy backside once or twice as well. I don't want to be thought of as a 'giver-upper'!

Chick - I dont think any of us would think of you as a 'giver-upper'!!!!!!!!! But I have to agree about the motivational aspect of posting on here

I know that feeling, we have a little lad who sleeps in his ow room but likes to join us in the morning and an 8 week old thats still in our room, so trying to balance running and feeding can be a bit of a challenge.

No running for me over the weekend, finished off the christmas shopping, so probably put loads of miles in just walking the shops LOL.
Iv got training at 3pm today, i think its going to be the wonderful Bleep test again( I just LOVE this test) NOT!!

Everybody has had such good time im well jealous, will be trying for some more runs this week.

Hi JJ,

Good luck at your bleep test today - rather you than me

hypno06

ooh good luck with the bleep test!

Great running there idio - as everyone has already said, it is all good stuff!

I ache after yesterday's run - it is easing up as the day progresses but nevertheless I still know that I worked hard yesterday! Can't run this evening but will go out tomorrow evening for a steady run.

Hope you all have a good day x

Met hubby at lunch-time to take his kit to him so I can go for a run this evening, fitted in a mystery shop just after I met him too - very mse!

So planning to do 4 miles, hubby is going to write a training plan for me so I have more structure to my progress.

Will check in to report this evening!

becky_rtw

Oh Evab a training plan eh! Thats when it really starts to bite you again...

Hope the aches are working themselve out Hypno - mine took all of yesterday and I'm still a bit stiff in the thighs when going down stairs today
