New Year Challenge

Hi CJBA - I've spotted you geeing people up the forum about the mileage - you are a hardworking kitty!

The resurgence of the old injury and new one is a mystery but fiz did some work on troubled areas in preparation for my 10K off-road on Sunday and gave me some extra stretches.  She also told me to hold in my glutes when running up and down hills and thinks this should help.  She recommends everyone should do this anyway.  I did a club handicap hilly race last night (prior to fiz this morning) and the niggles were there after, but minimal and I recovered quickly.  Thanks for asking.  Well done on the Blighty bimbling.  *Goes off to check database*

I was wondering that - thought that it might lead to some rather unpleasant experiences - for me and anybody else in the vicinity at the time...

You're both doing really well.  The original figure of 3,000 is a hell of a lot for squats as are the timings on the planks.  I might miss doing my squats today as I did a race this morning but will do the planks in a mo + as many press-ups as I can manage.

Keep on keeping on kids!

My club's race

I didn't have a good race.  Started off OK but suffered from lead legs halfway through and my foot went numb for a bit after running through icy bogs at about one mile.  Luckily the feeling came back and I could carry on.  Was lovely scenery though and the sun came out.  It was a great first race for the club - I think we had about 200 people.

I've decided to give myself the day off so I'm on the couch with a big bar of chocolate.

Had a rest from squats today as I ran 8 miles this afternoon (which is a lot for me!)
