Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 So sorry to hear that, Alli . What a waste of 2 hours, having to drive all that way . Don't feel bad about the training, you've enough on your plate. There's plenty of time to get going again anyway and the weather will be better (hopefully ) which will make it easier.

sparkysmum Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks Vicki, I really do need to get out of this frame of mind tho ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I got home feeling absolutely shattered, but after a restorative couple of mugs of tea and toast, went out in the dusk and did my 3 1/2 miles. I have no idea how long it took, but the main thing is that I went! Next run due on saturday morning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Good for you . I've been a lazy mare this week . Missed my step class this morning too as our bath was being re-enamelled. Zumba & step classes tomorrow morning though so hopefully that'll get me motivated again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I only ran on Tuesday this week and that wasn't for very far. I was having my done this morning so I am trying to not get sweaty for a little while I did walk to the hairdresser's and back though so feel as though I have done a little bit. That would be about 5 1/2 miles all together. I will TRY and get to the gym tomorrow afternoon. Alli - hope you feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 You're keen, Cathy . Quite pleased today . Went to the gym and did 40 mins abs work then did a really good step class. Had a shot on a running machine too - might have a go at a proper run on one. Went for a run late afternoon and managed 6.12 miles in 66 mins. Nasty hills at 3 miles and 5.5 miles .

jlo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Good going Vicki!..and I agree that Cathy is extremely keen! I haven't run much at all this week but have a couple of days off this week so must do better! I did cycle to Boot Camp and back today so that was 9 miles cycling plus quite a hard hour's work. I am now trying to work out if it is too early to go to bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I only work 3 days, that's how . I bumped into a chap I've known since we were in our teens today. We hardly ever see each other (despite living very close) but it turns out he's doing the Great North Run too . Not run more than a 10k before but is keen to move up to a half marathon. He is still friendly with another old friend who was my first serious boyfriend and he's doing it too - I haven't seen him for 20 years (quick, how do I lose a stone ).

It is getting easier to fit things into evenings now that it is getting lighter. I have just done a really really slow and painful 4 miles and it took 44 minutes including a couple of walks. I don't know why but everything hurt and my legs felt like lead. I was really disappointed as it has been getting a bit easier. Then my mum pointed out that I did play 9 holes of golf (carrying my bag - naughty!) this morning and have defrosted the freezer and done the vacuuming so that may have a bearing on why I was quite so pants!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Feel slightly nervous, if I'm honest . I'd known him since we were about 16 but started going out when I was 21. We went out for over 3 years and he actually proposed but I finished it . He was a lovely bloke and is now married with 2 boys the same ages as mine so I don't feel guilty any more . Was all set for a run this morning but one step on the pavement proved that there was a thin film of ice everywhere . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
