Phew thought I had offended you then x
Im still amazed that my legs dont collapse during each run lol
Another monday means another week closer to the Great North Run!
5 weeks till the National Lottery anniversary run and 14 weeks until GNR
Just did a 4 mile run at an average pace of 12.44 which is ok as I finished on a pretty steep hill (plus it was my Birthday yesterday so I am even older now lol)
Plan for the rest of the week is
Wednesday - 2 miles
Thursday - 4 miles
Sunday - 6 miles

I'm really struggling to get ou running. I keep saying I will run when I get home from work but don't get back until 7.30 and once I've got back can't motivate myself so set my alarm for 5 to run before foing to work but then keep putting it on snooze and don't get up in time. Im going to have to get my act together!!!!!!
I have found having a
challenge good motivation
I am on a tight training plan for GNR so can't afford to miss a single run come rain or shine!
Maybe sign upto a 10k in say 12 weeks time and then undertake bridge to 10k so that you have to train. Make sure its a sponsored run and tell everyone you are doing it so you can't back out x

Been for another 4 mile run this morning but only managed an average pace of 13.01 I could tell from the off that it would be a slower time this morning and I just couldnt push it faster. Oh well 2 rest days from running and then my first ever 6 miler on sunday
Hi, you're doing very well. What time did you get up this morning? I'm doing another Race for life next month but will take your advice and sign upfor a 10k after that to give me incentive.

I was up at 515 am
But I like running early when no one is around to laugh at me
Have you thought about doing couch to 5k? You could either skip the first couple of weeks or use them to increase speed. Its really good to help build stamina and then follow on with the bridge to 10k one
Good luck with the 5k xx
Well done ladies. I did manager a 3 miler last night.
I did the GNR years ago - they had Status Quo at the start line. It was a great atmosphere. I just remember running down to the finish line by the sea and it was pouring rain and wind in my face!! Mind you I'd rather rain than sun x

Wow good effort Shrimp! Rather you than me. Funny I always used to say 10k is the perfect amount without having to put in too much training!
Hope the eye op isn't a detached retina? I had to take 6mths off exercise for that, in fact thats when the weight gain started! x
