I crossed the 700m mark on Saturday a number I chased for many years foot seems to be doing ok (touch wood) struggling with a bunion on my right foot & seriously considering speaking to a doctor about surgery. I can’t get shoes that don’t rub and I am struggling. I wonder if that has played a part in the left foot issues if I’ve being compensating for it.

TheScribbler Jun 2021 9:20am, 9 Jun 2021 5,507 posts	0 TheScribbler What a numpty I am. I ran 6 miles this morning for the virtual Blaydon Race, but forgot to change my Garmin to miles from km. Never mind I thought - just run 9.6km, which I did. But I must have pressed stop rather than lap at 9km so my route trace and race log is 400m short! Not so bothered from my 500 miles target, but I hope Fetchies will trust that I did run the distance. I ran the length of Longsands and turned back to make sure!

Ev I’ve spoken to doctors today they are referring me to make initial enquiries having to explain I don’t do support shoes/orthotics that in the past I’ve tried and it’s undone all the work I’ve done & that barefoot/minimalist running is possible if you train right so we’ll see.
TheScribbler Jun 2021 11:48am, 9 Jun 2021 5,510 posts	0 TheScribbler I should have just run 10k and been done with it, but I was anxious about getting back home and having a shower before an 8am meeting. I'm sure I won't be troubling the Blaydon race results with a fastest finisher time

Surrey Phil Jun 2021 9:05pm, 20 Jun 2021 6,613 posts	0 Surrey Phil Managed just over nine miles last week and then a quick two plus miles at lunchtime on Thursday before self-isolating. Off for a hospital procedure tomorrow which suggests no exertion or exercise for seven days. Annoying but necessary I suppose. It just means that I am unlikely to manage an ideal long run before the Brighton Marathon in September.

*EDIT* in the current situation we are not entering races but I think we can still log any plans we may have over the coming months, whether it is learning a new skill, ticking jobs off a list, moving house(!), doing alternative exercise, aiming for training hours instead of miles, writing to family & friends, finding inventive ways to be together virtually or even entering virus races please fill in the planner and I’ll update this thread and keep our little social group going to share our goals.

Everyone is welcome, whether you don't want to set an official target or you may be aiming further but still want to pop by for a chat/offer some words of wisdom or just because the door is always open and kettle is on.

(When you go in give yourself a colour so I know you're wanting to be on the sheet so I can keep it tidy)

If you update the race planner after I've updated the header drop me an fmail or a reminder (or 2) on the thread so I know to update. Thanks
