    Does it feel like your runs are getting a little easier, SC?

    I din't run for the whole of last week because my right foot hurt, and still hurts. When I walk on it. But my colleague told me to "just run, and if it gets worse then stop". So that is what I did and finally ran.

    So, would not say it is getting easier. But I will get on it more frequently and hopefully when April ends I AM A CHAMP.

    Once you start a regular routine you will be able to feel your progress. For me, it still never feels fully easy, but I am running faster and have more than doubled my miles from when I started. You will get there.

    Hey. How was today? I checked in a few times. The satellite view was cool. Hope it is going well.

    On the homestretch, go man, go!


    7 measly miles for me this AM.  :)
    Longest run since last year and smashed my previous 10k time along the way.  Pleased with that.  Have a ten mile race in three weeks with 30,000 plus friends.  :)

    Can't wait to hear how you made out with the 2 day suffer fest!

    Sounds like you had a great run. It always feels good to beat your previous time. Good luck with the ten miler. You’ve come really far since your injury 👏👏

    what a weekend guys! 60 miles covered, day 1 was up and down all day smaller climbs, day 2 was flat with 2 big mountain climbs, the 2nd of which was fucking brutal and super technical 😂 celebrated with a couple of beers and a local malt. Separated from my mate on day 2 due to a problem with his hip, absolutely thrilled to shout him over the finish line.. what a legend. I just love making these memories, can't wait to get home to my incredible wife and daughter.

    Wow, that is so amazing.  Proud for anyone who does this sort if thing - and it sounds like your partner had to really grit it out, which is even more amazing. 

    What sort of shoes did you wear?
    I'm thinking of the 7 hour mountain climb I did last year (mostly rock scramble past a certain point) and the agony my feet were in.  

    Look forward to learning more about this.
    Told my wife I was converting to a half marathon this weekend and she gave me a verbal lashing about my desire for pain and suffering being totally selfish and potentially hurting the family due to knee replacement, etc. 
    Unless I divorce there is no way I can do something like this so will have to live through you!  :rofl:
