Big G - seems that MP is where it should be, good timing too.
Good luck to Rcouture and Ian in their respective half marathons tomorrow. I'm assuming they're doing different events.
Gym done and I even managed to do the full 20 minutes on the treadmill, walking at 10% incline.

Thanks Shades-I ran on Thursday and felt a soreness in my lower back,it was causing me to limp so I stopped and just ran 4,took 2 days off and it seems fine again.I did have a poor run on Weds so it may have been the start,hopefully couple of rest days has got rid of it.
Looks very cold today,2° feels like minus 2,but no rain and not too much wind,just need to run fast to warm up.

Ian good luck, hope the back was just a niggle. As long as it’s dry I don’t mind it being that cold for racing (also hopefully not too much standing around).
Rcouture hope you have a good half.
Shades your rest days from running seem harder work. Can’t remember the last time I used more than 1 incline on the treadmill.
WP enjoy your child free routes, I don’t run that often during rush hour and forget how annoying the prams and kids are taking up the paths 😝
Got my assignment in, doing an open masters but am a bit behind. Two months left (2 assignments) on this module on law, car and human rights. It’s a tough one as not studied a law module before. Need to get myself back on track over the next couple of weeks.
Just the one run during the week and then 13 miles to parkrun mainly along lovely tarmac disused railways. A newish event near St Albans, Oakland College ran in the school grounds, it’s a multi-terrain, mainly two lapper and the muddiest I’ve ever done. As I left a bit late I ran a bit faster than I wanted and my legs were tired and as I stopped my calves were on fire. Took about the first half a mile to warm up! Bit further up I recognised someone ahead of me… it was Cal. Ran with her for a bit before I needed to stop and tie my shoelaces before losing a shoe. Then caught back up and had a quick chat. Finished in 33.29 quick stop off at garden shop for a coffee then a lift back home only to drive elle back to St Albans for a bottomless brunch. Rather than just drive home and back i decided to have a wander round the cathedral and did a tour where they were housing a piece of art called the moon.

Good luck on the assignments, Rob. Nice run there and good to catch up with Cal. I did message her a few weeks ago about the forum here but I don’t think she’s keen on the ads.
9.5 miles today on an undulating, country route and had a decent run out. That’s 39 miles this week. Not sure what I’ll be doing the coming week - probably I’ll run Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and then it’s a travel day Thursday. Not sure about if I’ll run Friday/Saturday but I’ll figure that out when I get there
