I'm just returning from the injury couch (technically not injury because the problem is arthritis, i.e. not running injury induced, but has the same effect) so I'm interspersing short runs with Nordic walking sessions.

I was just wondering about you yesterday Adam, and how you are getting on now. Nice to see you back here xx

What a co-incidence I'm just about to pick my poles up again after a good few years break to help work on my core. Hope your arthritis settles, I have just come through an attack in my hips, physio said stronger core is needed hence the start of Nordic walking again. Hope it helps for you too.

I normally run every other day unless I do a particularly long run, then I take an extra rest day, so probably 7. Unless I feel like slipping another little one in somewhere!

Well, I have obviously put 0, but I shall be running as many virtual runs as I can, let's say two a day, morning and afternoon, up to 7th January! That should stave off the ever increasing waistline due to delicious Christmas fare. 😂

I'm due to graduate on Christmas Day.

The plan is then to go straight into a bridge to 10k while my son is home to keep me company/give me a hand :D

Hiya PP. How are you?

I have been cursed with the dreaded plantar fasciitis -both feet!!!!!

Its been quite a while since I have ran and I am missing it - weight has gone up but I am looking forward to scaling the C25K mountain again and reaquainting myself with Laura.

Hope things are well with you
