Bramble Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm quite sure that neither of you are old enough or unfortunate enough to be my Mum ... maybe you could apply to adopt me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathybc Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Bramble, you are in inspiration. Two weeks since my last run but managed week 6 run 1 round Lake Garda (well, not quite all round it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well, with some trepidation I went out for a run this morning. It felt quite hard at the time but looking bck I don't think it was too bad, will have another go at the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well done . I've been totally pathetic since my race . I've only been out twice and that was only because OH had the car and it was the only way to get to my step/zumba classes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I know how you feel. Went out for a wee run this morning and as I huffed and puffed around a 3 mile route I thought of a plan.................Not a half marathon plan you understand , more of a get rich quick plan..........I'm going to write ..............Your 100 best reasons for Not Running Today It could be a bit like reasons kids dream up for not doing their home work. "I really did do it, but the wind blew it away", " I really did do it, but it fell in the river as I walked by" Bramble I'm intrigued by your podcasts.

Old Speckled Hen Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well, three days ago I fell over the dog larking about in some very long grass. I hit the deck and felt a sort of "crump" and thought nothing more about it till the next morning when I woke in agony. I have two cracked ribs under a boob so I can't even bandage the area to give me some relief. By the time I can run again it will be too late to train. I wonder if I can transfer from the Marathon to the Half? I was up to ten miles...........drat!!!! I am so ppppppppppppppppp off!!!!!!! PS well done you lot you're all getting going.....wonderful.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 OSH, that sounds really painful . Poor you, how long till you're healed, do you know? How annoying about your race, hopefully you'll be able to do the half . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Oh my goodness, OSH that sounds terrible. I can't begin to imagine how you must feel. Does anything help Painkillers, red wine If you heal quickly maybe it would still be possible...........it is a major event & there might be lots of walkers. Hugs & positive vibes for your recovery.

This is a link to the Amazon page where you can download the personal running trainer podcasts : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Personal-Running-Trainer/dp/B001E20FS0. A single week for any of the programs seems to be 79p, so if there's one you're interested in I reckon it's probably worth downloading the first week to see what you think?!!!
