Good news about your mum, Kaffeeg.  Hope her recovery continues well.

Siony - thanks for the info.  I found the sports physio helpful although still not cured.  Maybe I should use the foam roller a bit more....

Pip = you are stil super quick!  I can only dream of 8 minute miling.  I can only dream of 9 minute miling too!  I have never been speedy.  I did a park run for the first time last November (and then got ill so not done it since).  It was great and I really recommend it.  As soon as I can start working on my speed, I'll be back!  Running along the seafront sounds nice .... although probably quite breezy!

Anyone out running in this stormy weather?  Glad today was kettle bells and gym day!

Hellooo! I am getting notifications again too now.  Good to hear from everyone.

Siony - it all sounds very technical.  Where did you get your advice from?

I'm back running again, although only on the flat.  The problem has been my IT band.  I'm trying to limit my running and go to the gym and do a bit of cycling.  Find cycling takes too long to have a decent run out though!  I've contacted my local leisure centre about adult swimming lessons.  I can swim but only breaststroke with head out of the water, so think learning front crawl may help me get the aerobic exercise without damaging my knee any more.  I too wonder about when my fitness levels will return... trying not to think it is old age or my body telling me that doing a marathon last year was just too much!

Big waves to everyone! 

And me.... why???  Maybe I just want to get to use my blue ribbon again!

Kaffeeg - hope your mum still improving.

Hope those who did this year's are still resting.

I've had a couple of weeks off running, on the advice of a sports physio.  Am now gradually getting back into it.  Just hope I can keep injury and illness free so that I can do a marathon next spring, whether it's London or Manchester or somewhere else.

Great run B&T!

Hope things ok with you Kaffeeg.  What a weekend you had.

Terrible about the young man at Brighton.  And now the news coming in from the Boston Marathon.  Hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

Hope all those doing London are winding down and not stressing.  That was my big mistake last year - losing sleep in the lead-up to it with worrying about everything!
