Tough luck Pinno, you still going to go ahead (as long as it feels "okay") do you think?Quote:

Hopefully back at it this evening though.
Pinno, whats is the half mara your aiming for?

Plus the guy who leads it is a bit of a nutcase and a real fitness guru so he's ace at making you push hard.
Needles at the ready then...:pQuote:

Total distance was 18.7mile time was 68:39 ave HR 130 and tried to keep my rpm at 80, much better than going on the turbo trainer in the garage, and it makes me feel better, but don't think I will be able to do Hutton Roof Crags this weekend, hope you are OK for the Trail, did it last year, it's a nice run.
Tonight: feet up, wife's out tonight and nippers will be in bed. Choice of movies to watch, perhaps a beer or two....
Don't get many nights like this! :p
6 hours to work tonight, finish at midnight, couple of cider's to unwind, rest on Saturday, eldest lad up from London for weekend:cool:
Hill walking with wife and kids, yes, the wife has purchased some walking boots and wants to walk, result:cool:
Walk will end at a pub for lunch, obviously:rolleyes:
Have a loverrrly day out walking Merrylegs. I have hurt my foot so no running today. :mad: But I will be out dancing tonight after a wine or two! :DQuote:

Cheers MG, a good walk but flippin windy, good nosh up in pub after;)Quote:

flippin eck ahs noone rested since JUNE :eek:
well I rested today......well not really, not mentally, but physically, boy my legs are sore :(
I'm going to rest for a couple of hours int Huntsman at Thurlstone in about half an hour, to get a bit of rehydrating done. :D
Had a vasectomy the other day, so due to the fact that my plums are like space hoppers I've been resting.
Any idea when I'll be running/cycling or even walking properly again :rolleyes: ?
I had mine done on a Tuesday and started jogging on the Saturday. More importantly, I was also back "in action" ;).Quote:

As a highly-trained endurance athlete I believe it's important to listen to what your body has to say. Tonight mine said, "lie on the settee, eat curry, drink beer, and occasionally open one eye to check what the score is in the footie", so that's what I've done ;)
I've decided to play it safe and not do the 3 Peaks on Friday. Give my knee a chance to get better.
Listen to your knees folks.
Ive decided to rest now until next tuesday's track session.
This morning both my knees are seriously painful and the walk up the hundreds of steps to the computers in the library seemed to go on for ever.:(
a run to me is a rest, beats this crappy job i do, other than that, my heel still hurts, but i dont care, stuff it, it can suffer
I am still resting my ankle :-(
However, I have taken to riding the bike in stead of running, just to retain so,e aerobic fitness. Suppose that does not quite count as resting?
We'll let you off:rolleyes:!Quote:

Still resting :( .
Doctor's signed me off 'til the 4th Dec with my swollen plums :eek: :mad: .
Four days ive been resting for now to try and get my knee right. I think its doing the trick so far, as it only hurts when i run:eek:.
Tomorrows the final day of resting im allowing it though!
