I've got my 10K on Sunday, and I'm SO not ready. I got started preparing for it late, and I've been sick all this week. I'm gonna be walking a good portion of it...

I've been pretty good about getting back into running regularly this week. It's been nice to be out on the road.
Awww, well good luck. I'm sure it'll be fine.
What'd you get??

New Balance 470 - nothing special (ie, nothing expensive), but definitely a step up from the Target specials I was wearing...

Well, I did NOT finish the 10k today. I woke up coughing and congested. I went down to the race, planning on just picking up my shirt and leaving, but I went ahead and started the race. But I had NO energy... I've been kind of sick all week, and was NOT prepared for the race at all. Got about 2k into it before I decided I couldn't go any further. Turned up the hill and went back home. So, at least I gave it an effort. At least I got my shirt. And now I'm gonna shower and march in the parade. THAT, I can handle...

Aw that's a shame Randy, can't help being sick though. Well done for giving it a go!
I have shiny new shoes too. Got me some Brooks Green Silence because they had great reviews, sounded exactly what I needed and were only £29.99. Can't wait to try them out, but still recovering from yesterday's long run (14 miles after work I am so damned chuffed), will be a couple of days. Took them for a walk in the park today though and they fit at least (bonus on the last 2 pairs of running shoes I bought!).

I love Brooks shoes. I have one of their other models and my husband just bought some this weekend. I'm glad you're liking them Yally, there is nothing better than a nice pair of sneakers!
I've been spending a lot of time exploring the paved multi-use trails around our new apartment. There are some really nice places for running

We've had record high temperatures here this past week, which has made running hard. A front finally came through last night so the high for today is only in the high 80sF. I'm looking forward to a nice run in the shaded woods later today!

Did some gorgeous runs in Greece, really hilly and hot so didn't get very far, but the views were amazing.
Got back and ran 10k yesterday. Today is meant to be my long run day but I'm stiff and achey and my hip is really painful again. Frustrating. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I don't want to go back from holiday a total zombie, but I also really want to run. Does anyone else find their long runs leave them zombies at work for a few days?
