    I'm still running ;)

    Although not tonight which I said I would. I have a splitting headache and have been feeling a bit off the past few days. Don't think it's a good idea to leave my cat either, I came home from work to pee everywhere and him cowering in the corner, poor little boy must have been very scared, he never wees anywhere but his tray!

    Isn't it funny we all come in here with our excuses for not running :rotfl: I guess we maybe help each other keep going without realising sometimes ;)
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

  • I want to be running but the doctor has said I won't be able to for another week because of my back. :(

    well done both of you im still on week 1 but i had a week off for my hols and this week coz im still not feeling right, but getting better so hopefully normalacy will resume on monday
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • I really didn't want to go out today as I was feeling a little fragile (girls' night out last night :o). I did a mile and a half round the block whilst waiting to pick up the kids after school. They were less than impressed with the 'sweaty runner' look - but frankly I just don't care :D

    I'm glad I went out even if I didn't go very far. I did try to run a little faster than usual so I was quite tired when I finished.

    Me (dressed in running stuff): Dad, I'm going out
    Dad: Are you going out?
    Me: Yes.
    Dad: Where are you going?
    Me: Henson Lane
    Dad: What are you doing there?
    Me: Turning round and coming back.
    Dad: Why?
    Me: It's fun.

    Then when I came back, he insisted I'd run really fast and it had only taken me 10 mins. I followed the podcast which takes around 30 mins...

    I can't seem to get week 4 onto my ipod, I have all the others but just noticed as I was going out that I didn't have week 4. Argh!
