Morning, first run of the year in just vest and shorts. Ten miles banked at bang on 8:45 minute/mile pace average although the run itself was progressive.

Good luck to any racers out there today.
I just did 12 miles out and back along the Soar Valley. The sun was shining and all is well with the world.

Hope everyone's races have gone well today.
I ran 10 miles early this morning, then OH and I went out for a lovely country walk in the glorious sunshine. My feet are a bit tired now. Walking is much harder work than running.
Yesterday's thrice-posted veggie burgers didn't turn out too well - nice flavour, but texture all wrong, they wouldn't stay in shape as burgers and fell apart in the pan.

Mine didn't go too well, White Horse half, the heat really got to me I am afraid, it was never going to be a good run post chest infection but to struggle from 6 miles and resort to run/walk is shameful for me

dont be too hard on yourself Mrs Jigs.....if you struggled that much then perhaps you underestimated how much the chest infection took out of you.

Sorry it didn't go so well for you today, Mrs J - it was very hot out there, and it can take a surprising time to get over illness properly. Onwards and upwards, the next one will be better!

Thanks Doc, I know I was nowhere near 100% but I should have been able to at least keep a slow run going.

Sorry to hear it didn't go to plan Mrs J, but as Doc and JK have said, having a chest infection can really take it out of you and can take longer to recover from than you think, combine that with the heat too it can't have been easy. Take it easy, and I'm sure your next race will be better.

The heat today was ridiculous and with an illness. Move on to the next one Mrs J.
