Marcus

Thanks, Marcus! Very kind of you! :C

Hey Markooos... how is the pain today?? Hope all is well for Race Day...

PS yeah it was horrible being out so long, especially after around 4 weeks when I'd taken 10 days off and felt ok, then went out for a run only to aggravate it and end up limping again the next day... at that point I started to wonder if I'd be out for several months! Injury really is horrible and it's made me re-evaluate the way I train.

I don't think it was the mileage so much as going back to my old shoes which are neutral, despite being an overpronator... long story, lesson learned...

I am trying to do it more gradually now though. I've eliminated hill sessions and speed work for the time being, concentrating on buliding a base prior to the start of my marathon plan on 1st February. I do have a 10k on 28th December but I don't think there's any way I can expect to get a PB after 6 weeks out and the next 2 weeks at least just trying to run without the injury coming back. Instead I've decided to run it with my wife, who's recently taken up running and will be aiming to break 60 minutes. I will be the moral support!

Hey Marcus good luck for your half at the weekend. Where did you say it is again? Looks like you're getting some serious mileage in at the moment, and at a good pace too.

I've unfortunately had 6 weeks off with this stupid calf strain but I finally seem to have come through it and am now building the mileage back up just to try to get back to where I was before!

I would go with the clock... anything that shorter !ha ha
outstanding time.. i cannot WAIT till the day i see a 4 at the front! THATs when i will start to believe that i might be any good...

No more 10ks this year.. got the 6k Funrun on 13th Dec and then 10k 10th Jan... you?

he he!! I was over the moon!!! The weather was nasty but the atmos and feeling after well worth it!

How did you get on??

He wont believe the 20quid lie... maybe i could say i got it off one you lovely people??? ha ha

3 years? Marry her. Its time. ha ha

LOL I know.. i hate my job so i feel the company OWES me a bit of forum time..

Makes more sense in my head!

Never dated online myself either.. not really done the whole dating in general.. my first boyf was the ol ‘it love’ at school from 15-20 then I met my husband and been with him 7years…

I suppose if I was being sold on Ebay I could get away with new without tags?! Hahahah

I’m like pepperoni me!

I would be shouting after my scarpering attacker.. ‘come and finish me off you pansy!’ ha ha


Thats what i am hoping with the race every month.. I know the cold weather will start to get to me.. i think the forum will help me get out there.. that and my hubby's size 10's up me backside after he found out i got a Garmin! hahah I need to justify it!

Thats true.. just a bit like internet dating! hahah Do you like them when you meet !hahaha
