Well done Jenny! I was going to but I seriously don't think my knees could take it, struggled doing 3 miles on sat :-(
Decided to do some strength exercises and some Pilates instead with the odd 2 miles in between see if it improves but I have a feeling my running days are coming to an end.

Good luck Jenny! I've had to pull out of reading half marathon because a friend's getting married in the north the day before. It's probably for the best - I've been running once this year! I'm doing a commute that can take up up two hours each way and I just don't have time at the moment.
hiya jenny!! ive not been running since around the end of last august!!! eek!!! determined to get back into it.....well i tell a lie i did 4k(pathetic) about 2 weeks ago,lol but other than that!
really am determined to get back into it though as it helps with the toning etc so much and i really enjoy it - but my god its hard getting back into it!

I'm here too. I didn't do the half marathon in Reading - my friends were getting married the day before so I couldn't get back in time and I haven't had the time/motivation to train since Christmas!
I've just joined a new gym near work so I'm hoping to start running again soon!

I have just found this thread and would love to join you all for motivation.
i have done the Great North Run for the last 2years and have a place this year. I have not been out training since the middle of January because I had a detached retina and had to have an op on my eye. My doctor has just given me the go ahead to get back out so did a very slow 2.6 miles last Sunday with a doctors check up again 2 days ago. All is ok so the trainers are back on but you know how it is trying to stay motivated when you have had a long break.
please keep posting
