    Thanks everyone. I think I probably did try to run a bit too fast, and it was into the wind too.

    Actually, I don't mind it in the cold and rain, keeps me cooler. But the wind is a nightmare, wasn't as bad as I thought tonight though, the rain had actually stopped by the time I left :)
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
  • Morning everyone...I know I moan alot about the running :D but I just wanted to say thank you to Drea for starting the thread coz there is no way I would have even entertained it without knowing about the podcast and reading everyones experiences of it. So I know I moan alot (and the running is still ghastly) but I do feel good when I've recovered and I am pleased that I doing it :T See I don't moan ALL the time :D only about running :rolleyes:
  • Hi all. Missed Sundays run due to babysitting. Made up for it tonight though. Went on to Week 2 - forgot how difficult a step that was. Did feel very guilty on Sunday though for not going. Felt like I had skivved. Looking forward to the next one on Friday evening. :think:

    I'm pretty out of shape but can do a few minutes ...

    Does anyone live in Preston by any chance? maybe we could go together as its much easier when you know you're meeting someone or going to a club or summat.

    hello topdrawer where in preston do you live as thats where i am,
    going out after school run to do week 1 run 2 (again lol), 'i am going away for half term but i willl be taking my running gear and running 3x and i might even try week 2 if i am brave enough lol
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • I'm not going to go out today. I have a poorly DS1(14) upstairs in bed and I feel pretty rough this morning myself. :( I know - excuses, excuses :o:p

    We have a Wii fit somewhere so I might just give that a bit of a go today instead.

    Good luck to everyone who is going out today. I think extreme weather running should be made an Olympic sport in it's own right. :D

    You cannot live as I have lived an not end up like me.

    Oi you lot - please :heart:GIVE BLOOD :heart: - you never know when you and yours might need it back! 67 pints so far.
