4 mile run today, actually wasnt as bad as i thought it would be.

starting my half training properly now, today was just a practise run but tues (as of next week), thursday and saturday are going to be my run days. will be doing a quick run to the gym fridays and sundays but thats not much.

some bad bruising on one knee and my other knee feels tender but i think thats a result of too much champane at my brothers wedding sunday.....

Well done on your run Gina!! When is your half marathon?xx

**gina_b** · 14th June, 2012

28th of october, but i also have a 9 mile run in september to train for.

only managed 3 miles today but it was faster (yay!) 33 mins 23 seconds.
friction burns again, not under my arms because of a good tshirt, but on my sports bra line. only noticed in the bath when it felt like i was on fire with the burning pain. red raw :/ first time thats happened. ive done 3 mile runs before with the same type on and no burns :S

Unlucky about the burn Gina theres some good creams you can get for chaffing if its a continued problem

**gina_b** · 15th June, 2012

when its only a short distance run i wont bother so much about them, but i will maybe get one for the longer runs.
still a bit sore from the burn but nothing i wont get used to with my runs 3 times per week

this week ive done 3, but wont be doing my saturday run with the race for life being on sunday

Try a bit of Vaseline on the bra line Gina, may help

**gina_b** · 19th June, 2012

this isnt as hard as i pictured it to be. did my planned run today of one hour, cant be sure of the distance as i jsut ran round various paths, the park, around the park ect... even started singing along to my ipod. at the same moment i bumped into not one, but 3 people from the gym i attend. they heard me singing terribly. *shame*

Hi,

Though I'd pop in and say hello. A newish runner. Just finished the C25K programme. Doing Race for Life this weekend. Already downloaded the bridge to 10k app and will start that next week. I've entered the Great South Run in October so will be working towards that.
