Evangel wrote: Thanks, Ebb.
Columba wrote: 10mm - that's impressive.
Evangel wrote: It came as a pleasant surprise to me!
Columba wrote: :-)

Columba wrote: Good to see Mrs. Ev back and running.
Evangel wrote: We often start together, and then do our run, but today I stayed with her for her whole run, then I did a short run by myself.

Columba wrote: Good news on the good shoes.
Evangel wrote: Yes but at the moment I'm using 3 pairs of Ravenna 11, but different colours!
Columba wrote: Why not, if you've found a brand/style that meets your individual requirements.
Evangel wrote: Make and model don't change, but it depends on which year's model has the best price.

geordiegirl wrote: Nice one
Evangel wrote: Thanks, GG.
Columba wrote: Good that OH is back running. Your company is clearly encouraging her.

Columba wrote: Oh dear, a non-usual pain. Hope it went as quickly as it came.
Evangel wrote: It was OK after a while. I just seem to get lots of annoying niggles - it's my age you know.
Columba wrote: I do know, yes. :-(

Columba wrote: Cycleways are very useful for running.
geordiegirl wrote: Great pace Ev! Nice to see you feeling relaxed & comfortable again.
Evangel wrote: Oh I am most of the time, but sometimes I get problems in the first mile or so; it comes with age, which you, GG, may discover in years to come - say 50 years time!!
geordiegirl wrote: Lol I would say I’m already there Ev

Columba wrote: Another reliable 5 miles. You must be well on your way to this year's 1,000.
Evangel wrote: Thanks, Columba. The total is currently 930.
Columba wrote: You'll be there well before December.
Evangel wrote: I expect to finish the year at about 1350 miles, but I'm not really obsessed with the number.
Ebb wrote: 930 is a brilliant year to date figure!
Evangel wrote: Thanks. I've been blessed by not having injury issues for quite a while now.

Ebb wrote: A really good pace even though you cut it short. I hate 5ks when I struggle and slow and realise I've gone out too fast!
Columba wrote: Respectable speed and WAVA.
Evangel wrote: Thank you both. I shall have to do it again and try to get the pacing right, before I do an event!
Columba wrote: You have an event in mind?
Evangel wrote: Perhaps parkruns or a local 5k - 10k race that's not on a Sunday.
Columba wrote: parkruns are brilliant. Which is your nearest?
Evangel wrote: Brynaman at 2.4 mls. distant, mainly along the Amman Vallet cycleway which is where I do some of my runs anyway.
Columba wrote: Have you done it before?
Evangel wrote: Yes, I think I've done it 3 times; the last time was in February 2020.[ By the way, I didn't mean 'Vallet' above, but rather 'Valley'.]

Columba wrote: Hope back feeling better now.
Evangel wrote: I think that I'm just stuck with the problem, as it's the result of different back issues with the discs, etc. I must try to put it behind me!
Columba wrote: That shouldn't be too difficult ;-)

Columba wrote: Good time, especially in today's warmth.
Evangel wrote: Hmmm yes, warm!

Columba wrote: At 11 o'clock this morning, not surprised you felt very hot. Well done for persisting. Hope you feel rested and rehydrated.
Evangel wrote: I'm OK, I'm a survivor. We then had unexpected, but very welcome visitors this afternoon for about 5 hours, so it was relaxing.
geordiegirl wrote: It’s amazing how an increase in temperature affects the running but good effort Ev esp heading for mid day heat.

geordiegirl wrote: Sounds like a nice run Ev
Evangel wrote: Yes, it was quite pleasant.
Columba wrote: Impressed by the mile-by-mile acceleration.
Evangel wrote: It wasn't as good as it may seem. The first mile was at 12:14/ml., and the last one at 10:34/ml. I didn't plan it as a progression run - it was just how it worked out.

geordiegirl wrote: Canny pace Ev hope it was a good run.
Evangel wrote: Yes, it went well and I enjoyed it.
Columba wrote: Reps do tend to be challenging, whether hill or interval.

Ebb wrote: Another good running week Evangel, and you're not far off 1,000 miles now.
Columba wrote: nearly an hour and a half, - good long run.
Evangel wrote: I'm very thankful for the past two and a half years, being without any injuries or significant health problems. I expect to reach 1000 miles on Monday week the 20th. It is only a number; to enjoy running and to keep fit are far more important of course!
Columba wrote: Absolutely.

Columba wrote: Another reliable run. Feeling good is sure to be good.
Evangel wrote: Thanks. Columba.

geordiegirl wrote: Nice running apart from the early niggles, glad they disappeared.
Evangel wrote: Thanks, GG. A little manual massage helps.
Columba wrote: The early bit is often rather niggly, I find.
Evangel wrote: Columba, an older body is perhaps more temperamental than a younger body. When I was a little younger my body never seemed to complain!

Columba wrote: Strides=fast, yes?
Evangel wrote: Yes fastish, but not flat out.

geordiegirl wrote: Sounds lovely…. Esp the coastal walk well done as always Ev
Ebb wrote: Good running Evangel. I love a coastal walk or run.
Evangel wrote: Thank you both. Coastal path walking has always been our favourite, and a non-running day is ideal for it..

Columba wrote: Not overdoing it, I hope!
Evangel wrote: It's been a tiring week for us, but tomorrow is our rest day, as is appropriate! I shall take things a little more sedately after Monday.
Columba wrote: Hope you both had a good rest.

Columba wrote: Congratulations on the 1,000 miles! *bunting* And there's still a quarter of the year to go!
Ebb wrote: Congratulations Evangel. That's seriously impressive mileage.
Evangel wrote: Thank you both. I celebrated with an extra day off today.
