I am a paranoid niggle monkey

Loved that! Thank you x
Well the niggle is well and truly there. But not the end of the world as, oddly, it doesn't seem to be a problem at all when I'm running - its just after!
Had a great 4 miles with Jo today - managed to increase my pace twice (once on a hill - get me!) and it was funny as she kept saying to me "blimey, you've really picked up your pace" but I realise afterwards the shortest run we've ever done together is 9.5 miles, so yes, I would expect my pace to be quicker on 4!! It was our last run together, so I felt kinda sad that we won't see eachother til after the marathon - but I think we're going to try and revive the little local running club - so something to look forward to.
More advice today from a seasoned marathoner - he told me to "walk before I need to" next Sunday - said I'll enjoy the second half of the race more. This sounds like great advice and makes a lot of sense to me. No point at all in desperately trying to run 21 and then collapsing in a heap!
Right then - off for my first large dose of mash of the week. Have a good Monday, all x

kizzi10000 'I'm a full believer of the walk before you need to theory. I knocked huge chunks off my 10k and half pb's by adopting the run/walk pattern instead of running as far as I could and then crawling. Enjoy the rest of the week and hope the niggle doesn't get worse' added 6th Apr 2008
