Ran about 4 miles today, and my bad leg held out smile.gif.

Now to work on my lungs!

I'm really feeling my lack of lung capacity...gotta work on that big time.

I missed a few days of running last week because of work and childcare issues, and then I picked today, our first humid day, to start back. Ugh. The humidity really got to me. I didn't run the distance I had planned, and at first I felt bad. But, I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, and I'll try again on Thursday.

I started jogging / running when I was 18 or 19 years old and I am 45 now. Mainly because I was starting to be a lazy overweight git. I always played football ( soccer ) since I was a kid so I was always quite fit. I have completed 7 or 8 Marathons ( just been listening to that !!!! ), including the London Marathon 3 times and god knows how many half Marathons. I never get a good time ( best was the Sheffield Marathon 3 h 44m years ago ) but I enjoy my training and I can try and solve problems I may have in my life because it is suprising where your mind goes when your on a long run. So anyone thinking of staring go ahead but take it easy and build up gradually, plenty of fluid and eat properly....God I sound like me mum!!!!

In other news, I ran for 8 miles straight last night. I could have kept going, no sweat.

My next goal is to listen to S&A twice, non-stop smile.gif

Thanks, B. biggrin.gif

 

Wow, 8 miles! I'm still at just over 3. But I'll get there!

I run 3-4 miles a day. I do need to extend that distance soon biggrin.gif

I don't even run every day...more like every other day. Someday maybe I'll get to daily.

 

Good luck in your 5K...when is it?

Well, I have been doing it for a long time. Yes, in time you will work your way into it biggrin.gif I must clarify my race is actually a 5.6 mile run. It is the 27th of June. Last year I finished 46th out of 127 men. My time was 43:47. Not too shabby for an old guy old.gif laugh.gif

I did a pretty stupid thing tonight -

 

I was going to run, probably go for another 10 miles. I didn't eat much, but that was ok because I was going to eat when I return.

 

I was about to leave, then I had to do yard work. Then I had to look after Ryan. It was a good few hours after when I planned to leave.

 

I had a bit of soup before I left.

 

It wasn't enough... I ran for may be 2-3 miles and I said "screw it". Ran home, with a light job, and ate frozen lasagna. I'm still hungry...

 

I'll have to make it up tomorrow now.
