Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There was a time today when I was thinking the weather wasn't so bad and that I might sneak in a short run, even though the plan was for a rest day. Since then the weather has deteriorated rapidly. Might still go though :-)

Meant to do a nice relaxing 5 miles with friend this afternoon.

Turned into a tempo 5k after we stopped for almost an hour to help with a horse stuck on ledge & barbed wire. Just enough time once it was freed for a dash back to car as I had sports massage appointment. Also had something to pick up at opticians and needed to wolf down a sandwich!

Oh dear Kim that sounded stressful. Hopefully we have no such encounter tomorrow.

3.65 miles with Shona. My Garmin played up a bit but I just copied her stats.

I did my run to the coffee meet in just light drizzle - result! I did have to avoid lots of huge puddles though. The place we were meant to meet up turned out to be closed, so we walked to a nearby cafe instead which was actually much nicer! By the time I'd run home I had 5 miles on the watch and although it was even slower than ever, it felt quite comfortable.

At the cafe we were talking about nutrition for older women runners. One of my friends has taken on a PT to get her in the best condition possible for the Boston marathon this year - the last of the six Majors she needs to complete the set - and the advice is that people like us (ie 60+ woman) need more protein than we realise and we should spread it evenly over breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack and tea. She's also been told to have that protein - a handful of nuts or a slice of cooked chicken - as soon as she gets in from a run.

Does anyone on here follow that routine? I think I'd like to give it a try.

Torrential rain here all day, it's eased now but it's dark and still very wet underfoot so I'm delaying my run until tomorrow and having a glass of wine instead :)

I made it out. Wasn’t the most sprightly of runs but it was a small victory against the weather
