New Year...New runner

lol, i must be crazy Maam, the more i think about it the more i wonder if theres such a thing as race refunds. but worth a try 5k's are an excellent idea, get a lot of free entry ones too so no reason not too. as for the cleaning, i'd say you've done enough for the day, leave the stuff on the landing and call it art.

thanks for facebook link, finally got it, request to join has been sent

Cuba...Mexico....Jealous of you all, your so lucky.....closest i'll get to "sunny" will be turning big light on in living room maybe get something booked for after the dreaded marathon, serious incentive!!!!!!

like your treat idea........though i did that completely wrong this morning, i was so annoyed at myself for my poor performance this morning that i got myself a jumbo chocolate cream donut from greggs to try cheer me up lolol........from now on, i'll only get it if i complete the run i set out to do lol x

hi lidi, welcome to RW consistency's a good resolution. good luck, hope you do well with sticking to it i've actually had an achy knee this week after my run on monday, just the one knee, but was just trying to ignore it, so b good to see if anyone does come up with any advice on that.

Wilson- r u referring to the Jaffa Cakke Greggs Donut..........cause there's no way a person could chose to have that when its placed insignificantly next to the jaw dropping strawberry milkshake donut lol.........i have to start dieting lol

Lidi - sounds like you're in the right place, running, fun and laughter is the aim Well for me it is and the guys on here definatley help with that one.

K- def keep the donut as a treat, it will make it taste so much better, or you might find you're so proud of yourself that actually you don't want to undo the hard work and go without with a huge smile of satisfaction on your face

I sometimes get knee trouble, I tend to just rest and listen to my body, if knees hurt during a run I stop and walk.  No point pushing it and causing more problems, I did that with my ankle and has put me out for 3 months, never again. Pain is a warning sign of don't overdo in my book

I've almost made it far enough with the cleaning, just feel like I have done yet another workout. Must confess, I have dipped into the celebrations for a odd sneaky choc, just for the energy of course Decided was ok after all the exercise I'm doing today, going to work till 5 ish then stop for my dinner and a chill out, now there is an incentive, better get back too it

No - just sorting house until 5, as in now, I've done for today and am somewhat pleased with what I have acheived.  Not looking forward to his face when he gets in though and I break the news how much he has to sort, oh well all in a good cause.

Now its me time, only chor left is the dishes, but they can wait until I've eaten.  Feel like I always have food on the mind Happy thoughts

Dishwasher - what's one of them???? In our house, when he works late, I am the dishwasher!

Chocoholic I think seems to be a theme, but everything in moderation instead of just pigging out is going to have to be the way forward, or just get it out the house then I'll be sorted

Have I mentioned I can't wait till sunday to go for a RUN!!!!!  Just a little sad won't have new watch by then, but guess you can't have everything.

trying to put weight on Wilson, thats every womans dream, i'm just in from a nice dinner, literally got my moneys worth then some lol, defo be heavier on the old sneeker soles tomorrow lol, not more Greggs delights for me!!

Maam, 2 more sleeps till the run.......then you'll b back!!!!!

night guys x

lol lady with the donut......i'm definately gonna have to make that my new screen name hahaha, classic....if its easier u can call me Kirstin, though lady with a donut definately suits me better

5 miles well done you that amazing, can't wait till i can cover three miles lol......i reckon that would have merited cheesecake & wine lol. how many times a week do u run Lidi?

as for your knee joints, yoga is a shout.....i actually found a few articles in the blog section that had 14 or so yoga poses or positions to really help your muscles, joints and posture after runs. It has pictures, step by step instructions and includes the benifits of each pose, found it really interesting, not tried them out yet but its definately on my to do list. also, wither your interested i don't know, but i've heard a lot of runners take glucosamine capsules which are aimed at keeping joints supple??? wither or not you'd be willing to try i dont know, sometimes i wonder if these things are a bit of a gimic but i reckon it want do me any harm to try them for a month or so, so i'm gonna give them a bash.

been flat out at work all day, done massage after massage to the point where i want to kick my next client off the bed and try get a leg rub myself, legs are aching to do. swapping tomorrows rest day for today and going out a run tomorrow as i've more time

Hope everyone is doing well today

Right so its agreed........friday is the new day of rest....works for me!

wonder how Maam is doing today? i missed calculated last night and said it was 2 sleeps to her first run, but it was 3 bad day wen u cant count to 3. 2 more sleeps now though!!!!! must be excited

Hey all,

I'm doing good thanks, been finishing sorting out the back room, hopefully picking cross trainer up tomorrow (change of weekend so can get earlier ) After 2 days it is finally sorted. Car full to the skip, few bits to charity, shopping done!

Not that I could wait I've done 30mins on my stepper, had dinner and a nice choc yoghurt as a reward

Friday rest day would sound good, but mine is going to be tomorrow before the run on Sunday, did I mention that I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

Kebabs are def memories from student days, many nights in Liverpool! Many nights unable to remember too

Since we're onto names, I'm Ange. 

Sounds like everyone is doing great with the running, going to be a great running weekend too! I'll be running again
