Did 5.28 cross countryish with running partner but it was very slow and painful for some of it. I feel like I've lost so much fitness in just a month. boo hoo where's the wine....
PQ May 2007 5:38pm, 26 May 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin PQ It's soooo demoralising isn't it chicken? I worked my ass off throughout jan,feb & march for my half mara and was really improving a lot and now I feel I'm back to where I was before xmas I know it will come back eventually but I've got no patience and I want to be back at my peak NOW ! How are you now chicken?
PQ May 2007 4:00pm, 27 May 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin PQ Chicken glad to hear your run was better, onwards and upwards from now on hopefully ! No run for me today, went with run partner to support as he did half mara in peeing rain this morn. I was a bit envious that I couldn't run but the weather was so crap I didn't mind too much. I'll probably try another shortish run tomorrow and see how that goes. Only 4 weeks to my next race so I really need to get some speed in my pins !

Shins still niggling but nowhere near as bad as friday. Did 4.17 miles in 35:24 and wanted to do more as I felt so strong but resisted in case I relapse. Really hope this is the beginning of the end of my injury ! How did your run go chicken?

If it wasn't for PB and others allowing me to pace them at runs I'd have gone nuts ! Lost a load of fitness and pilled on over a stone in weight now ! Hopefully I'll have my op on my knee in a few months !
PQ May 2007 9:57am, 29 May 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin PQ Chicken that's good news, hopefully you're on the mend too ! Not quite sure if I'm back just yet as shins sore again today but am off to the gym in a min to try my new Asics on the tready. RGP - sorry to hear you've had such a tough time. Pacers are great though so yay for you ! My running partner paced me at my last 10k and I took 4.5 mins off my pb because he drove me on. Fingers crossed for your op soon.
TooLilac May 2007 1:26pm, 29 May 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin TooLilac another one with sore shins - apparently due to my stiff neck (??) have had 2 weeks off, 1 weeks following physio's orders, and did 3 miles last night. Which was lovely - how I've missed running. Knees are stiff this morning and am in denial about stiff legs. Physio's advice today = try another run and see what hurts. how can I plan for anything with that sort of advice ??? Lilac

Sorry to hear about Partyqueen & Toolilac's shins - hopefully your physio will have some more constructive advice next time. As for me, I had a wonderful hill-walk & scramble at the weekend. Hip twinged a bit, but was generally okay so I'm feeling confident about being back climbing & running soon. I'll have lost some fitness (despite regular gym sessions) but the though of being able to get outside again is making me all giddy! Exercising indoors isn't natural, it really isn't.
