Next run is Tuesday morning for 4 miles. Then 6 miles again on Wednesday and I need to try get it to 57minutes total =D need to get to 50 by race day...I'd be ecstatic with that!! All about the speed training =) impossible to consciously speed up and slow down without the guidance.

I'm going for a run today after a smear test (oh goody). I'm going to see how far I get as I have a 5k mapped out and need to build back up, so either to the signal point or bridge. I'll see how I feel. You can tell I run by a railway track!

Aww hope the knee is better tomorrow!!
I feel bad that I deliberately skived off the scheduled run today and yesterday. I've been a hormonal mess! I didn't want to get out of bed was really depressed. However tomorrow is my day off, and committed to another 10k with my friend at 10am so no choice but to go do it and feel great about it! Really excited to break the 60 minutes mark....we have to push and do it!!! We never push ourselves so it'll be mile 3 then mile 5 running at a fast pace....eeeek =D
Not sure what to change this thread's name to...but it'll probably be different when you all check it soon =D

How did you get on?
My knee is 'meh', its definately sore going upstairs so its weight baring thats the problem. Spinning will be fine being stable but the running i'm not so sure of! Its only a mile to spinning so I couls always speed walk, the slowest group is doing 13 min miles so i'm sure I could power walk and run a bit if its that sore! We will see tonight!!

I did! A deep dark competitive side of me came out tonight, I like to think I'm pretty good when it comes to going up hill, and tonight I overtook about 5 of the group going into 3rd place (not that it's a race) but people started to overtake me downhill (which I hate!) I wasn't for letting that happen and I realised tonight that I actually can 'run' and not jog when I try. I was striding along better than I've ever done!!!
Spinning after 2 miles at my probably race pace was hard but I loved it, nice to hear my friends saying after 'bloody hell your legs were going that fast your bike nearly blew off' and then a nice 1 mile under 10 mins back to the car.
Only trouble? I've eaten awful tonight since I got back! Ho hum!!!!
