Sound crazy??? I'm not good at running on the road and definitely prefer treadmills but after a LONG break have managed to get up to 4 miles. I'm so proud of myself. <br /><br />I also figure that if I'm running at the gym I'm more likely to carry on through the winter - I'm a real fair weather runner too but i did invest in a really nice Ronhill showerproof jacket at the beginning of the summer that I'm yet to use. :( <br /><br />Good luck with your run and keep up these posts. <br />Oh, and thanks for the link about runners toe- I'd wondered what that was (especially as it had developed under nail varnish so was a little surprise!)

I did a 10 mile race last week and really enjoyed it ...just posted about it today if you pop over. <br /><br />Did you get a gait analysis with your trainers?? I've always gone to an independant running shop and had my trainers fitted - they video you on the treadmill and can see how you are running. I do probably between 20 to 30 miles a week and have never had any problems with my feet because of this. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about running.<br /><br />Anyway, hope you enjoy running your training plan : )<br />Fleur xxFleur Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494664647481875838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-29638197592767420072012-08-04T09:46:30.207+01:002012-08-04T09:46:30.207+01:00Interesting to read your training plan - I've ...Interesting to read your training plan - I've been a bit freaked by the complicated and varied advice out there! Difficult to know what's the best plan. I'm trying to stretch one long run a week but the thought of 13 still seems a bit unachievable to me! In part its the time factor to get the training in (and I do know thats a pretty poor excuse but it would take a while for me anyway to run that distance!) but I also have to confess I get a bit bored after a while! I have made my regular run at least 5k now and find if I don't go three times a week I'm missing it but maybe time now to crank up the training... Agree with you about timing etc being a bit irrelevant, I've never been very competitive and this is about personal fitness and satisfaction rather than anything else! Good luck with the half marathon! xSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869694240743414050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-19610433240281611932012-08-04T01:16:10.768+01:002012-08-04T01:16:10.768+01:00I envy you your running ...

It was such a great experience, but I didn't care what my time would have been or beating my personal best (I'd never done 10K anyway so it didn't matter!) What I loved was chatting here and there along the race with one person or another as we both slowed down a bit. I didn't use my mp3 player, because I found counting my steps with my breathing a fantastic "mantra" for me. I'd love to start running again...I got pregnant basically right after the race and haven't returned to running yet! Good luck with your training and half marathon!Roannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186173646221380285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-40175770752858738022012-08-02T23:24:13.270+01:002012-08-02T23:24:13.270+01:00Not at all boring for me and I certainly forgive y...Not at all boring for me and I certainly forgive you not posting about crochet every time ;) I am probably the worlds most unathletic person but for some strange reason I started running (or taking incredibly long stumbles, as it sometimes feels like) in April and so far it's going great. I don't do any great distances yet, 2k is probably the most I've ever done. But I can fit in my old jeans again, which has got a plus and I'm enjoying the feeling of doing something positive and healthy. Good luck with your half marathon :)<br /><br />Sandra xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-83018614320511513792012-08-02T21:29:11.779+01:002012-08-02T21:29:11.779+01:00Incredibly impressed - I can only manage a brisk w...Incredibly impressed - I can only manage a brisk walk (knees not very good) - I've always thought it must feel wonderful to be able to run - really free.

I would almost give my right arm to be able to run again...I walk, but it is so boring. I started running at 15, stopped at 24(also track, cross country) and loved every minute. Sometimes while running I felt if I could just run a bit faster I could fly!!! Oh, the wonderful feelings I had running. I completely understand the part about your own personal best and not worrying about what the "experts" may say. In high school, one day during practice, I ran an eight minute mile. All my coach said was, "I want a seven minute mile out of you!!" I knew then, that 8 minutes was my best. So hated the competition part of running after that.<br /><br />Although I can not run due to early stages of arthritis in my right knee(running injury) and my back, also caused from running, I would still run again if I could. <br /><br />Best of luck with your next race.<br />blessings, jillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-59050408342129593852012-08-02T18:17:16.998+01:002012-08-02T18:17:16.998+01:00I was supposed to be running in one of the Race fo...I was supposed to be running in one of the Race for Life events this year, but my choosen event would have been in late July and my due date is in August so needless to say I never did it lol though someone offered to push me around in a supermarket trolley .

I am thinking of starting to jog to begin with around the park. then gradually build up. I will have to save and buy a descent pair of running shoes though- And one of my pet hates is trainers!. I was very fit before my pregnancy at 26 years old. Now my weight holds me back on a lot of things, confidence mainly. I think its that big kick i need to do it though. I love power walking and walk miles and miles and swimming but I know i'd shift weight by jogging. good luck on the marathons ;0)xCountry Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928461971291765354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247444515135484880.post-47187560417907590342012-08-02T12:46:09.459+01:002012-08-02T12:46:09.459+01:00You are very inspirational Jacquie!
