Any Runners On Here??

[SteveF]

My problem, such as it is, is simple - I'm overweight! If I could shift a few kgs, I think I could get under 1:30.

Anyway, cross-country races Saturday and Sunday.

Give up beer??

Fair play to all you 1.30 half marathon runners!
I have a PB of 1.43 and well happy with that at 47 years young

Nostell (#124) this morning, & not feeling great, due to a lousy nights sleep, & banging my knee at work yesterday, in the shed. On a steel cabinet

Started about 3/4 way down the field, & just pottered for the first lap
This is the 3rd run on the new course, & there's some truck damage to the path up to the Obelisk, but it's only a sand/gravel path - at the moment

Managed to make up a few places (not as many runners as last week), finishing with a 39th/157 @ 24:20
Had to limp back to the car though
Thankfully it felt good enough to let me ride this afternoon

Local 10k today (mostly on the beach). It went well, the amount of running on the sand made it tough, but I soldiered through. Ran a solid 43.03, where I would have loved a 42:30 if all on tarmac, so am very proud. I'm waiting for the photos to show up, but I'm not sure I want to see my 'suffer face'...

14 miles today, 2 hours on the nose, a little slower than normal as not feeling 100%.

Apart from a few months where I was ill, recovering from a bike accident and doing a marathon that's a half marathon each month (I caught up on those that I missed).

Leg seems to be OK again. Did 10K on monday and 5.5K on Wednesday with no problems.

Was the work xmas meal today.In previous years i'd have had a few beers at the meal then carried on in the pubs after. This year it was water during the meal then straight home for a 5 mile road run.

How I've changed!!

Will be hitting ParkRun tomorrow, provided I wake-up

Just back from the physio and its good news. From next Monday I can do 1 road run a week for 3 weeks, if I haven't had any problems I can then do 2 road runs a week until I see her again 30th January.
The work I've been doing the last 4 weeks with the elliptical trainer, treadmill & exercises has extended my ankle range by 0.5cm both legs and removed all the damage in the calfs.
I am so looking forward to running the streets instead of looking at my kitchen wall!

Just spoke to my brother. We're going up to his place in the Lake District for Christmas and he has signed me up for his club's Boxing Day run - over Carrock Fell and High Pike!

We're stopping off in Liverpool on the way up so I'm hoping to do the parkrun at Princes Park on Christmas Eve as well.
