Morning all, from a wet, warm and rapidly thawing Iceland.

What: Meant to be '5M easy including strides'. But as all roads and paths have turned from lovely grippy packed snow to wet lumpy ice, this will probably translate as '5 miles of slithering, slipping and falling over'
Why: I don't know, I really don't know

Last hard: Friday, pre thaw
Last rest: Saturday. And Sunday, as only managed 25 minutes of slithering.

I'll go away and stop whinging now.

What: Hopefully a gentle 4 miles.
Why: Haven't done anything since Wednesday due to still recovering from heavy cold and terrible weather. Have a chesty cough which is not helped by a run! Hoping to get back on track this week, but don't want to push it too hard tonight.
Last hard day: Last Monday.
Last rest: Friday, Saturday, Sunday ...

Feeling very cross with myself that I haven't been for a run since Thursday - normally run right through colds!

Hello everyone!

Afternoon all :o)

What: 5.2 miles easy
Why: Recovery run
Last hard run: A long long time ago
Last rest: 9 days ago

After reading in RW of people's running streaks of 30+ years, I thought I would start a mini one. Going to try for 100 days, running every day. Up to 8 days at the moment. At least this way I will be able to force myself out of the door in the midst of winter.

Back again after a very relaxing week in Cyprus.Sun shone,kids behaved (within reason) and despite my best intentions,I didn't do any running.
Feel totally refreshed but it doesn't take long to get fed up again does it ?

So having not done any running for 9 days I'm going for a gentle 5 miler tonight.

It also looks like I've got plenty of race reports to plough through....
