My Great South Run - 10 miler

Well I didn't run with the Camelback but I think I will next time I do a 10 miler as trying to sip a Lucozade pouch drink without slowing down is a tad messy, especially on a cold windy day [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]. The run was a good one but it was a very damp, windy morning and started and ended along the seafront [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cold.gif[/img] The final mile and a half felt as if I was in a wind tunnel so the best I could do was shuffle. Great medal though [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Did it in 1.35 which was 4 mins (or so) slower than my first ever 10 miler.

Spent an hour plus waiting for the coach pickup back to the hotel then shared a cab with some other vexed people [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad2.gif[/img] . Spent more time waiting for local transport to the train station before finally reaching home 4 hours later [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cold.gif[/img] Unsurprisingly I'm coming down with a cold, but I'm going to rub some Vicks on me and have a shot of rum. That might help [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] Good thing I'm on hols tomorrow [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

My first cross country run is in 2 weeks. I must remember to pack enough warm clothes to change into as well as a flask of rum for a post-run/anti cold snifter [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/breakdance.gif[/img]

Re: My Great South Run - 10 miler

Good job on the run!
Is the Camelback that has the water spout that comes around your chest? I'd like to have one, especially for the bicycle riding. The reaching down for the water bottle can get wobbly at times for me.
I have a 10K run coming up on the 11th...mi ongle worried bout the coldness.

Re: My Great South Run - 10 miler

Hello runner, biker, swimmer people...

Good to see everyone still hanging in there even though the weather has shifted. We got lucky last week and this past weekend...our run days were sunny and crisp and the inbetween days it rained. Did our long run on Sunday...I did 10 miles...Mr Ochi did 12. My knees made it to about 8 and started yelling at me...but this time I didnt listen and just adjusted my stride a bit. Managed to make it 2 more miles. Probably could have gone longer but didnt want to risk injury. 4 weeks until my Half Marathon...gonna shoot for a 12 mile long run this coming sunday and the one after then taper down.

My biggest worry is bad weather on the day of the run. in 2005 when I did it...it was sunny and crisp and BEAUTIFUL...last year...I didnt run it but hubby did and it was MISERABLE! Rainy Windy and a little snow even.

Anyway...MILES AND SMILES everyone!!!

Re: My Great South Run - 10 miler

You know sey I went running this evening and after a mile and half one piece a pain catch up in my right foot. The foot felt like it got cramped up, like I was standing in freezing water. Pins and needles started shooting up in it. Think I need a new pair of running shoes. Anyway, I just kept on with the run and took my mind off the pain. Right now two toes on my right foot feel like a hammer whack them.

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Hey runners, bikers and swimmers how is it going. Well I was to do my 10K run this Saturday but my son's team made it to Regions in cross country so I'm going with the team to Gainsville to cheer them on instead. Feeling kinda bump that I will not be running but have to support him and his teammates.

I did run 8 miles last night wanted to go longer but the darkness set in too quick.

Anyways happy running everyone! I think we need a running icon!

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

I have a 10K run coming Sunday. The weather calls for scattered thunder storms so mi just hope sey dem don't put it off. Temps should be in the 70s. This week it was just too cold to run outside, so me utilise the treadmill at the gym. The treadmill run boring nuh hell...it limit my running abilities. Each time I set out to do about 6 miles on the threadmill, I end up doing 4 miles instead. Still haven't gotten a new bicycle...my backup squeeze mi poor batty mi cannot ride it at all...it out to give me pile. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img]

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Hush SandiF mi need to get a new bicyle also. Not a lover of the treadmill I find it boring a matter of fact the whole gym atmosphere is not for me.

We still need a running icon.

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

THANK YOU Ladies...I would rather eat worms than run on a treadmill! First of all...IT BORING! But...I also feel so darn uncoordinated on it...feel like I am going to fall or trip or something...

Exced...congrats to the son and his team!!! GOOD LUCK AT STATE!

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

yeah di tready is rather boring. i have to put on one hell of a playlist or be watching a movie in order to stay on it.

Got some new kicks and it seems to have done the trick. guess my shoes wore out faster than I thought. Anyhow...just came back in from a 25 mile ride. Yup, it's time to put the bike away for the season. Wind burn just isnt my thing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70388-shameonyou.gif[/img]

Anyhow ladies and gentlemen keep doing what your doing [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/icon_hug.gif[/img]

Re: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Hey gang how tings?

I've been recovering from a stinking cold after my 10 miler then managed to damage my hip (or muscles in that region) something bad. The pain on Monday was excruciating [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img] so I've been on painkillers and gentle stretching exercises til my next physio appointment on Thursday.

Not sure when I can run again, but I'll find out how soon I can do something as I'm feeling sluggish and yuck despite the hip pain and I was actually looking forwarding to doing my first cross-country run today.

Oh well, I'll just have to do long walks in the meantime [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whatever.gif[/img] More chocolate and beer anyone? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/popcorn.gif[/img]
