Hello everyone, I'm back from the wilderness after a manic summer. I've missed you all, but I've not missed any running. Far from it!
Just been out and managed a comfy 7K on home turf for a nice change, although I did nearly go base over apex on some early autumnal litter.
How's everyone been then - need any cake??? (Coffee and Salted Caramel)
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!!!
Good to see you again and great to hear you are doing 'comfy 7ks' 
Ha ha yes - I hope I didn't sound trite! To clarify, by 'comfy' I mean I didn't feel like I was going to die, and I didn't actually die 
Good to be back, hope you're well too
Hiya Sazz !!!! Long time no hear ! How are you ???
Good to hear youre still out there running your little legs off , 7k is superb !
Oh that cake looks the dogs wotsits !!
I have been doing a healthy eating plan , I think its about 12 weeks to Christmas , so I am planning to lose a 1lb a week so I will be 12lb lighter by then , so loads of room for cake - Ha ha !!
Great to hear from you again, keep in touch !
* Clinks teacup full of GREEN tea * Ooooh get me ! xxxx
You're a paragon of virtue PP!
I'm very well and hope you are too.
Back home for the autumn/winter so hope to bore you all regularly xxx
Ha ha , I know ! I have lost 3.5lbs this week, I am highly delighted !
Aw it is good to see you back on here Sazz , looking forward to reading your posts and seeing your lovely cakes, even though I cant eat any xxx
Oh wow Sazzle - that looks amazing. We've missed your cakes - and you of course......
Cake!
That's a great distance to be comfortable with.
I now have distance and cake envy.
Wooooooooooooooooooh cake! I'd like to dive in head first but like Pops I'm having to watch it. I lost 2 lbs last week and was due to weigh in tomorrow but it looks like I've put some back on. Booooooooooo!
Hello there Saz! Been missing your cake pictures. I did flick through my cake recipes the other day and found your choc fruit cake which I have put on the top to make when I'm carrying less ballast
How are you then petal? Good I hope. It sounds like it if you're dashing off 7k's!
Speaking of autumnal litter, goose poo and falling tree fruit are a lethal combo. Skidddddddddddddddddddddddddddd! I was in the park this morning. Those horse chesnut shells (or whatever they are, nut-like things) are crippling under foot. Bah!
I know Miss W - so many hazards out there for us athletes 
I'm super duper. Not lost any more weight, but dropped a further dress size since I started running. I confess I do use running as a bit of an excuse to treat myself - but after 18 months on a diet it was a sustainability issue more than anything else. I'm so chuffed that I am feeling fitter and enjoying the odd guilt free treat whilst not gaining any weight.
Still got a couple of stone to lose, but after a life of yo-yo ing I'm happy to be stable for a while. Now I'm back at home can eat more regularly and healthily so it will come with time
How are you chicken - injury free and running well I hope? It's good to be back amongst you lovely people - such a positive place
Just leaves are very slippy but glad to hear you didn't fall and injure yourself!!
I love the photos of your cakes - they make me a bit home sick as i want to sit with my friends with cake and pots of tea and set the world right!!
That. cake. looks. amazing. 😍
Yep, most problems can be sorted out over tea and cake.
I'm not fit Saz! Still on the bench with shin splints but I'm getting back but it's frustratingly slow
I feel very lucky not to have had any injury issues (touch wood)
Hope you're mended soon xxx
well hello stranger
Paths are slippy out there!!
Does it matter if I leave 3 days (gulp)! Between runs?
Middle aged man runs for the first time since leaving school 
The highs & lows of running - and some runs just aren't that good -Laura's right!
1 - 2 weeks without running? You're having a calf aren't you?
