    just under 4 miles along the beautiful promenade in Nice. Bit too hot for a long run even early in the morning though. Ive never seen so many runners in my life, outside races. people even running at midday :glasses: crazy

    My competitive side is kicking in and I'm checking out everyone else's tickers like this is a reeeeally slow 150 mile race.

    Must.... stop. :tongue:

    Ankle holding up, think I worked out all the muscle soreness from nearly a week off. So going to try an eight mile run tonight.

    Nobody told me how quickly the body and endurance fall apart. Was totally shocked at how difficult my first runs back were. Ok, the first was great, think I went out to fast. Because after that my muscles just hurt and it sucked!

    Wish me luck, I have some serious work to do if I am going to be ready for that race at the end of the month, let alone meeting 150 miles.

    According to Jack Daniels, here are the fitness losses that happen when you take off:

    Up to 5 days — no loss
    7 days off — 0.6%
    14 days off — 2.7%
    21 days off — 4.8%
    28 days off (one month) — 6.9%
    56 days (two months) — 15.3%

    Although it's hard to get back, you lost minimal fitness. You just need to jumpstart things again. I bet it doesn't take long at all for you to feel your best again! :)

    Hey Bunches,

    Thanks for the insight. Not sure why the mental block in regrds to those first runs. Today was awesome, even caught myself with that silly, joyous smile at times. Even the continuous two mile climb out of the canyon was bad, found my legs wanting to run more of it than I have yet :-)

    Just joined a trail running group, first run with them was tonight. Not having run with many people,I was nervous, and afraid I would hold them back. It was a practice for the first half of the up coming race on the 31st. Hung out at the back of the group in the beginning. Slowly some of the runner started dropping back. I just kept right on going, and by the end was right on the heels of the front runners. Was a good work out, but by no means do I feel depleted.

    Love taking people by surprise, especially myself :-)

    i dont think im gonna make the challenge anymore either. Meant to go for a good run today, but barely slept last night so dont think i can face it.
    With 3 kids, its hard to fit it in, if i miss one opportunity for a run, i dont always know when my next chance will be, and ive got the summer holidays coming up at the end of next week, so will have even less opportunities
