Well done on the 10k beautiful bride
Plymscuba are you actually running slower or just feel it? I have felt slow the last couple of runs but am actually run at a good speed for me.
Shrimp hope you easing back into things well
Well its the start of another week of my plan and it steps up a fair bit this week!
Been out for a 4.5 miler and ran at an average pace of 11.52 again which I am really pleased with as I felt quite sluggish this morning! I didnt sleep brilliantly last night so that may be part of it.
The plan for the rest of the week is wednesday 3 miles, thursday 4.5 miles and saturday 7 miles

Wow Fultram - thats impressive mileage. I have a mental block even thiking about going over 4 miles!! Not sure why, strange really.
I am generally running a little faster (15 secs per mile), but just lately feel awful and tired! Suffering with headaches and hayfever so might be contributing to that x

Well done everyone! We are all doing really well.
Today's run didn't go as planned, I pulled my leg 1k into my 5k run so walked the next 1.5 so a measly 2.5k for tonight, was also feeling rather tired early on so maybe it's for the best. X

XPlymscuba - I used to think I would never manage more than 3k but once I pushed myself through it, it was fine. Saying that I am always nervous before a new mileage so am already worrying a little about saturday lol
Beautifulbride - Go steady with the leg as you dont want to agrievate it , best to take a few days off and heal up x
Hi to everyone else xx
Well did another 3 miles this morning at an average pace of 12.04 which is a little slow but I was working last night and only got 6 hours sleep so Im pretty happy. Also tried to break my foot last night by dropping 3 plates on it! Luckily I only bruised the top!
Its my eldest's 7th Birthday tonight so I need to make the last layer of his cake (made the other 2 yesterday) and decorate it

You are a machine woman! X
Shrimp- Bet it felt good to hit the road again good luck with the training x
BeautifulBride - Not a machine but a mother of 3 which means Im used to being on the go non stop lol, infact running is great as I actually get some time on my own without being pestered by a child for an hour lol
Been for my 4.5 miler this morning and within the first mile I could tell it wasnt going to be a fast one! I think its running 3 days in a row that gets me but due to work its difficult to alter the schedule oh well I still managed 12.16 which isnt horrendous I suppose and at least I went out and did it.
It has made me a bit more nervous of saturday though when Im supposed to run 7 miles!

Your doing really well. Take it stead 12 minute miles is good for training on race day you will naturally speed up!
i have been out again tonight and done 2.7 miles...and you are right it's good to be out running again. The 2 weeks off has been good for any recovery that I needed. I feel refreshed. Not running now until Sunday and not sure how far I will go.

i have not felt like running all week due to headaches, then when I finally got out fri night, I had a sulky boy with me, so that was basically a non run really, which was a shame as I felt good :-(
but I did manage a lovey coastal 4 miler yesterday, with some hills and managed to keep my pace to under 10 min miles so quite pleased with that.
i like your idea of a running diary shrimp. Not something I think to do or plan?

Very jealous of your 10 minute miles! I dream of being able to do that lol
Didnt make it out this morning as couldnt get to sleep last night and then when I did I was having weird dreams and tossing and turning all night
Going to take a step off the training plan this week and just do a few short runs to suit me and then back on it next week with a vengence
I do have a few spare weeks so it wont make a massive difference and it might do me good to rest up a bit
