First run after yet another six weeks of rest after injury.

See how long my soft tissue holds up this time

Less than 3 weeks to my first marathon and after a maximum 20.4 miles a couple of weeks ago, we're now winding down a little ('bog standard' 10 miles, or less), but still doing 3 runs a week.

I'm trying to get to my target of £500.00 this time round and am £95.00 away at the moment, so if anyone wants to chip in that would really make a difference to the 1 in 2 of us who suffer from or will get cancer at some point in our lives. Thanks, again:

A massive 'Thank You'to Matt (?) for your generous donation to Sue Ryder to get me to the £500.00 mark. A true legend in my book. Take a bow and if I can ever return the favour, let me know. Proper humbling. 🙏👏

366 days wasn’t enough and I got an invite to the London Saucony 10k to finish my year long run off on a race.
Clocked in at 44.40 a new personal best which was great especially as the first 3k was dodging round people in front who obviously made up their PBs … 😁
Anyway … day off tomorrow at last 🥳

Flaneur

Well done Nic, you should be so proud 👍

YoungParisian_inExile

Got to day 374 ... really should have stopped after the 10k
last few days have been a grind, no pleasure or fun and without the goal of finishing it makes no sense.
Time to listen to the body, let it heal, strengthen my knees and hip and get fit for end of October.
In the meantime, gentle runs every couple of days.

If you're on Strava, come join our new running club, Get Lost RC , the Lance Mountain of running clubs 😁
Club rules:
Go run
Get lost
Dont die

YoungParisian_inExile You might as well do 500 now.

One week today...

That’s the thing about running. You’re either running away from someone/something or running towards someone/something.

The more you do it, the more you invest in it & the more distance you cover, you need to be damn sure that where you’re ending up is better than where you started.

@Harvest Misura

I couldn't run to the end of the street at the moment. Its like my body and mind held out to the end of the challenge and have now said 'Fuck You' 😂
Knees are killing me and cant put any weight on my right hip. Resting up for a while along with strengthening exercises. Get ready to go again in October.

'Running away ? probably ... running to... probably ...' anyway, its my sanctuary, safe place where no-one can fuck with me. And helps me stay relatively sane

YES!

Right then, guys and gals, one day away from the big 42k - or 26.2 miles, if you prefer, I know I do! Either way, it will be the longest I've ever run, my first marathon at 60, and I'm hoping to make it a big event.
The run will be difficult, but I've been training for weeks now, so I am as ready as I will ever be. As most of you will be aware, I'm also raising funds for Sue Ryder, both in memory of my dad who lost his life to cancer in February of this year and to help provide help to the thousands of other people who are battling this terrible disease.
If you are able to donate anything, no matter how small, it will all go to a fantastic charity and a fantastic cause and this will be the last time I'll be asking before Sunday comes around (thank god for that, I hear you say!). Anyway, here is the link to my page, whether you can help or not. Thanks!
N.B. A massive thanks to those who have chipped in so far. Heroes all.

Amazing effort Pies, I'm sure you'll kill it. Very jealous of you, even more so as I can't even run at the moment.
