Managed to fit a 3 mile run in this morning around Sherdley Park whilst Tracey took Harry to see the animals.

My legs are a bit achey now - been walking up and down and up and down round chrome hill way :cool:
2nd time hill walking this week, ok ok I know it's not running but hopefully it will be doing my uphill muscles some good all the same :D
Working in Moscow this week - needed time on my feet in preparation for Kentmere and Borrowdale, so ran along Moscow river for 3 hours or so and found nice(ish) park
Crossing Moscow roads is much more hazardous than any downhill

won local bike race 18 miles . 59 mins !!! which means 2 things . 1 there was nobody else any good in it . 2 something good as come out of having plantar f for one year .
As for me...well...hmmm...went on a night out and danced some...like really dancing!!! :D
Does that class as training? :confused:
Hmmm perhaps not,as the alcoholic calories intake far exceeded the dancing calorific expenditure me thinks!
(Foot swelled up too!) I'm still in the knackers yard! :(
Well done on the win Lilactime. :cool:Quote:

Felt very pleased to be just 2 minutes off my 1/2 mara pb which was really surprising, as it didn't feel that hard.
Today I went up Ben Lomond, up the more interesting and mountainous Ptarmigan Ridge and down the tourist path. 7.5 miles or so and just over 3000 ft. Felt very good again.
Shame to miss the race but just keep going for Borrowdale now. Its good to have something to aim for.

Hour or so this evening. Fourth run in last 11days and best I've felt since my come-back
3.5 mile through Broughton Woods yesterday (a futile effort to rid myself of the Large ice-cream and dodgy chip butty consumed at the Broughton Show), calfs feeling very tight following the Scunthorpe 10K on Friday night, oh and my milky-white skin is now a lovely tinge of salmon following glorious sunshine yesterday, I quite like the tingling!
Well, I managed to squeeze one in last night after getting back from a Center Parc (!). 45mins on hilly roads and quite chilly out. :rolleyes:
7.5 mile this morning around Pex Hill, Rainhill and Blundells Hill back to Cronton
10k RUN! :) :) :)
well done !!! feells good to be back eh ! me nothing sore throat headache , here we go againQuote:

Cheers DT. Yep the mileage will be a bit low for a few months I think, but it's a start, better than nought!Quote:

Just managed a quick 30mins (hilly roads, inc 1 x ~500ft climb) before going out for father-in-law's b'day dinner last night.... :rolleyes:
12.11 miles around Pex Hill and Sutton Manor this afternoon in the sunshine but quite windy across the hilltops of Sutton Manor.
Hour run local in the rain with the club followed by a couple of pints. 1st time since April. FAN-BLOOMING-TASTIC!
Yippeee!!!!!!!Quote:

Great fun, felt ok on the climb despite a hard weekends running, and got stronger on the final climb to the summit. Then passed loads on the descent and my only fall was on grass, BONUS!
4 minutes faster than last year hurrah!
Training for long runs improves all my running.:D

A lovely refreshing run over hill and moor in the heavy drizzle and mist. I need a local fell race now to give me a kick start, where's that calendar gone.............:)
8.5 miles (70 mins) from home - usual mix of woodland, fieldpaths, parkland, road, riverside, towpath. Plenty of ups and downs:) but also too many flat bits :(
A nice little 5 mile BOFRA a week a Wednesday Gargrave way :DQuote:

Still felt yesterdays race in the legs, especially up the bigger climbs but a nice plod all the same. Great evening, sunny, warm, with a breeze. I carried a drink and some dates, there were plenty of streams for the dog. Top off all the way. Meal and a pint at the other end where the family were out for a walk.
What a night! :D

A wet and soggy 3 hours on the push bike on the lanes around the Ribble Valley. Perhaps we'll have an Indian winter or somthing?
Running around doing chores today.
Ran to my dads (to move his car for him) and back.
Ran to the vets to pick up stuff for the kitties :rolleyes:
7 miles total
:D
2500m swim this morning in 50 minutes so pleased with that as I ain't no mermaid :cool:
Then headed to the hills and did the first part of the winter hill route as far as going up the ramp to the top on to the trig point at the mast then picked up the belmont win hill route down to noon hill then georges lane then down to somewhere else (!!) and back in. Weather held out it was glorious sunshine, in fact think I got heat stroke!:rolleyes: PAH - chucked it down the whole time and unless we do get an Indian summer or something then you may as well take your snorkles come february as it was a record thigh deep bog delve today :eek:
Great run though.....thoroughly enjoyed myself - not sure my singing was much appreciated though!
