Mandy - how about training for events and then working on your PB? Bristol half is in September....? xx

I might have done the Bristol Half, but the week before I'm doing a welsh mountain 3 peaks challenge, so to do 2 things 2 weekends in a row like that probably isnt the wisest move. I've also just missed out on doing the Bristol 10K last weekend as I was away on a canal boating holiday.

I'm probably going to sign up for the Bristol Race for Life event in July - there is a 10k event as well as the 5K runs.

And next week I'm going to Barcelona - maybe a few runs along the sea front in the sunshine will reawaken the enthusiasm!

 

[KazzW]

Oops I forgot to update. I have been running 3 X this week and my total is now as follows. Well done everyone else. I feel much better for getting back into again. Hope you all do too.x

A bit of a cheat of a run today, I went to the opticians which is about 2 miles away, ran there, went in to collect my glasses, then walked half way back and ran the final bit. So 3 miles in total, just with a big gap in between - heck, its still 3 miles so I'm counting it.

Felt rather embarrassed that when she was checking my glasses fit okay that my head was so sweaty!

 

[Pinkie1973]

A run is a run Mandy. And I like the idea of it serving a useful purpose.

Anyhoo, my 25mins done. Phew!

[mandy296]

No run for me today, but just got back from a 9 mile hike in the Brecon Beacons, involved about 4000ft of climb - I think that makes up for lack of run today!

There was some kind of event on there today and there were some people actually running up the mountains! I can run, and I can walk up hills/mountains, but I don't think i can combine the 2!

Someone posted this link on the couch to 5K thread

parkrun

I was looking for something like this before, but it seems the Bristol run is relatively new so wasn't there when I last looked. I think it seems like a great idea - anybody else think they might sign up if there's one nearby?

 

[Pinkie1973]

Jules on my thread does these. Once I get to that point, if my boy can do it with me I would prob be,very interested actually!

I think your mountain hike just about covers it yes lol

Off to a wedding now to eat, drink and undo all my hard work.

 

[Woodland girl]

Good going Mandy! I seem to have come to a bit of a grinding holt! Was working in the wood yesterday and today should use all my energy doing jobs at home!!

 

[Woodland girl]

I did a mile outside today - saving my pennies for another go in the gym!

[mandy296]

Updating 2 runs here - last night I ran to a gig, today I ran to work.

I love a functional run. I just have to get hubby to be my support team and bring a change of clothes for me as I hate running with a rucksack

Yep. And you are most welcome to join us! Just cut and paste the latest list, add your name to it and start your countdown. We need someone very sporty to catch Mandy, although I guess unless you're an ultra-marathoner it's already too late....
