Some good advice here ITG but a tough choice. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision though.

I feel like a right fraud compared to you. Ran/walked parkrun today. Only half a mile in before I needed to walk. Nothing in the tank.

Not sure if it’s because for the last 2 months I’ve only managed to run at a weekend. Or I’m just scunnered.

Kim, some runs are just like that.

ITG, why not take ten days to a fortnight off running then go again and make a decision about Mývatn after that?

10 days to a fornight off? 😮😮😮 At Easter / chocolate extravaganza time? I'll gain a stone 😂😂😂.

Actually might have to. Cannot walk this morning as left foot has, for want of a better word, seized up. Might be plantar fasciitis.

You are all lovely. I feel like I am falling apart and am not sure if I am just a hypochondriac trying to make excuses for not being tough enough or if menopause is rearing one of its uglier heads.

At least I have an excellent swimming pool round the corner and an annual subscription. And I'll get a nice suntan in time for my holidays.

Fine, then you gain a stone, but might be able to run in more comfort and be happier about it.
(You won't gain a stone in ten days).

Mornage all bunny

I'm off to bed. I think the combination of track on Weds and mara on Fri has given me shin splints. I spent the night limping.

Morning and Happy Easter :)

My original plan was to run again today but I think I'll take another day recovery.

Enjoy your day, whatever you're doing.
