Excited new runner

Silver - well done on getting out

I'm feeling a bit deflated and exhausted today.  Feel like I should be running! Just don't know what to do

24.4 kilometers = 15.1614571 miles (thanks be to google)

Maam - its because you did such a good time yesterday! just have a day off today and don't worry about it.  Tomorrow should be better!!!

Thanks Emma, will be out running again tomorrow too so should really life my spirits Think my body is greatful for the rest

Oh, I forgot to say one of the guys running, just infront of me at the beginning was totally barefoot! Not even the minimal shoes, I'm talking no socks or shoes barefoot! It's the first time I've seen it for real

Been trying to see the pics that were taken too but the site hasn't got the ability to search by race number and I haven't got the patience to go through the thousands of pics on there Was hoping to get one too if I could find a nice one

I can't remember how far I've run this week but I think it was a 2k and a 2.6k (miles sounds puny but I'll still convert it) 2.8 miles.

Is it not possible for everyone to work in miles?  I am guessing we are all using garmins and its only a case of changing  is it just because it looks more  lol  come on tough up and use miles

Rested y'day, club run tonight

lol I don't to be honest because, well you just know don't you that its not as good  miles is just hard core

Sadly, my garmin stopped working last night.  Now I have raised a repair call which could take 3 days and tomorrow morning, I will go out and do it 'on guesswork'.

I don't really mind being without it for the run, but I like to have my stats there for afterwards so I know how far, times, calories burned... boo hoo.

Lets hope when I get home tonight, if I try to hard reset my watch again, it'll work....

I definitely don't have a Garmin. Maybe when Little Baby Moo becomes Big Girl Imogen I'll suddenly start clocking up the miles and invest.

Must dash, cheecky baby has got into a kitchen cupboard and is merrily making a mess!

*cheeky not cheecky, dear me!

Emma - hope you get the garmin going  pesky things do have a mind of their own at times

Mal - I hope your cupboards had not been emptied my little Moo by the time you got there  

We are having storms here at the moment  am contemplating the treadmill  

Hi all,

I've just done an 8k run, sorry Boo, I work in k as all my training plans are in km for the GNR, I do convert it though

Mal - good luck with the cupboards

Silver - good luck for tomorrow run, don't know why your Garmin takes so long, think longest mine has taken is a minute

It will be 4 months tomorrow to the GNR so I thought I'd look back through my diary to see how much training I have done since I got my place, now given I've lost around 4-5 weeks with illness I can proudly say I've done 128 training MILES to date!!!! I'm feeling rather proud of myself at that

Ok, off for shower now then to chill out a bit, or is that sort dive kit as I'm teaching tomorrow

Yes I actually went on the treadmill  the weather was awful all evening so I made myself do it lol  it reminded me of why I started road running it was so so boring  I did 3 miles and that was enough lol

I have now had confirmation I am in to do Lake Vyrnwy HM on 9th Sept  cant wait (did I just say that  am sure after Silverstone HM I said never again )

Silver - my garmin sometimes takes a while so I switch on before I get ready and leave on the kitchen side, then when I am ready its usually always loaded  but sometimes if it takes forever switching it on and off again helps  not sure why that is but it does

I know I have said it loads of times before but you should all use fetcheveryone.co.uk to record your runs, it tells you so much its great

Maam - where's your pic gone?

4.35 miles this morning. i used mapometer.co.uk as garmin is still dead.  rubbish.  it appears to be a common problem.  technology eh?!!! pah!

Enjoy your runs guys
