Morning all. Calf is feeling better, but I'm still leaving it the full week before I try another run. That's 2 more days, I'm coping well surprisingly. Usually I go a bit stir crazy when I can't run but I think because it's only a week I can handle it OK. And I'm seeing the bigger picture. Short term annoyance, long term…

Thoughts with you @polskagirl

Oh and had a pleasant surprise on the scale today, so relieved to see the line going in the right direction. I was surprised cause I had a salty meal yesterday but very happy

Oah @CMorning99 you have so much going on! Crazy. I went a bit silly this morning. My current phone I've had for a year and it's been driving me more and more crazy. The connection drops for no apparent reason, and the Bluetooth s awful. So I had a little extra cash this pay so I decided to upgrade. I went with my mum. And…

Hugs everyone

@swenson19 ahhhh cuddles! Day 3 of rest today. Calf is feeling much better. I'm going to have a 2 more days of complete rest then work tomorrow night as a test of walking. May try a walk Saturday, then short run Sunday. Will see how it goes. Day 3 of being on track. Going well. Not exercising is a challenge...

@kgirlhart I can never understand the concept of carrying a gun, let alone having special running shorts. We are so lucky in NZ. Heck we have a protest of government grounds atm and even the idea of someone having a gun on them is laughable.

Morning all. Well this week is definitely going to be recover week. I got my exercise bike back, so I'll be using it. Calf was getting very sore at the end of the day just walking around. So frustrating but that's life. I'm planning a hike up our mountain in 3 weeks, so may postpone HM training till after the Hike. HM…

Morning guys. So I have a couple of days off work (yay). So basically these are going to be rest days. I'm going to get on the bike this morning for a workout, and try some weights but need to be careful. Probably do the same tomorrow. Then just relax. I've got some compression stockings for my leg. And apparently heat is…

@quilteryoyo and @shanaber thanks for the kindness. Keeping in mind the "why" is so important, yet usually the first thing to go. @shanaber while you are healing, you can definitely be kind to yourself, it was a decent fall! Calf is still sore 😭 I've definitely pulled something, but haven't torn it. Grrr so frustrating. Oh…

Thanks @quilteryoyo. I kept thinking it was so easy last time, but it wasn't. I had days where I didn't stick to plan etc. The big difference is those days didn't lead to me falling of for a whole week like I'm doing atm. So I need to refocus, a day of indulgence doesn't matter, a week does! Weight this morning was down…

Morning Calf feels better but a few "pulls" when walking. I'm not risking it. Id rather take a whole week off than end up out for 4 months again. So today will be rest day. Tomorrow will be bike, and I'll see from there. It might be over kill but a week off won't hurt and I would rather that than the alternative. I was…

Evening all. Still here, still trying sigh. Went looking back at my insta from 2 years ago when I hit my lowest weight and its really motivating me. I really want to get there again, I like how I felt and how I looked. I realise I struggled then too, so consistency is the key. I'm starting 2kg heavier this time but I'll…

Sorry been quiet. Been following my plan this week. And really enjoying it. Did another 13k run yesterday. Today was a rest day so went for a gentle hike with the kids then played indoor netball (think basketball without the bouncing). Well something was too much because half way through the game my left calf started…

Ohhh hugs @shanaber! Glad nothing is broken.

@CMorning99 free shipping always wins for me! Lol. But shipping to NZ or even around NZ is disgusting. I had a rubbish run this morning. Went out for 6.4k but just didn't feel it. Gave up after 3.5. My whole body was aching with every step. Like jolting. So gave up. Didn't care. And I ate too much last night. Probably a…

Hey been a few days since I checked in. New shoes are awesome, I have to get another pair! Wore an old pair today and got a few niggles again. I didn't get them in the new shoes. Given the old shoes are a year old, I'm happy. I had 3 pairs in rotation. Now I need to spread out the purchases a bit haha. Didn't manage any…

I had a good day yesterday, relaxing admin in the morning, then angiography in the afternoon, so not a lot going on for me. A lot of sitting around waiting. Just a calm pleasant day. Food was good. I've increased my protein, I now have a protein shake for breakfast and try have more protein in my other meals and I've…

Hugs @quilteryoyo I know that feeling. My moto is I never regret a run. I've regretted missing runs though. And I'm not a fan of walking though as @shanaber said walking is just as good! That's how I initially lost the weight! Hmmm maybe too much running is why I'm not losing lol. also it sounds like you have a lot of…

Hey guys. Was on call this weekend and was exhausted. I didnt run and ate everything. Weight is back to "oh crap" weight. Sigh. This roller-coaster sux. So back on again. At least I have a chill day at work, doing admin. Easy.

Morning guys. Ah the weather here is hot. Not @runs_on_espresso hot. But still sticky and awful. Took the kids to the beach yesterday after work. It was so warm and wonderful Food was better yesterday after my pig out day on Tuesday. I'm also off to Hawera today, the next town over, for work. Usually means an indulgence…

Tried the new shoes this morning. Nice! Definitely seemed to help with the worst of the niggles. And seem more grippy than my last pair. I also went up a size. I'd heard these were a different fit, and people weren't wrong. It's incredibly hot here, and so humid. As soon as I got home from work we took the kids to the…

@shanaber beautiful pics! Looks amazing

Does he look guilty? No he looks hot (it's really hot and humid today.

Sigh. Tired. Only 5hrs sleep last night. Had a mouse in our room courtesy of Leo. He was disappointed he couldn't fine it. It was on my bed at 5am and ran along my back. Now I don't generally mind mice, but not in my bed. So been awake since 5am. Food today sux. Can't be bothered. Hungry so eating.

Shoe porn! Been getting niggles so new shoes are necessary. These are the gel kayano 28s. So so comfy! Can't wait to try them tomorrow

@martaindale could your shoes be too tight? I get weird pains like that if I do my shoe laces too tight. Hope it sorts out

@rheddmobile hope the power stays on. Love you looking after the raccoons! Too cute. Work was BUSY. My feet hurt this morning. It rained all day yesterday, and looks set to rain all day today. The garden has gone nuts in the warm wet! Today I'm just relaxing before work. Might try do some yoga.

Hey all. Work last night was pretty chill. I'm expecting tonight to be crazy sigh. It took me so long to get to sleep last night when I got home, and I ended up with only 6hrs sleep. I toyed with leaving my long run till tomorrow but if I have another rough night tonight then it's just worse. So went out, and it was…

Morning all. @polskagirl that sounds annoying. I was sick last week with some weird virus, and now have a post viral cough that's driving me mad. Keep getting coughing fits in the middle of the night. Today was the first long run of my training plan. Strangely the garmin coach thought I'd be fine to tackle 13k (8 miles)…
