    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
  • Hi bookie! :wave:

    evening all -

    my body clock is all to cocck! i went to bed before midnight and didn't get up until midday! Erin was only 10 minutes ahead of me too, we need to get back into the normal routine before work/school again on monday!!

    went out for a family day out today, to halfords and to running shop for new shoes for me, part of my Xmas present from big g. Trouble is running shops were both shut (grrrr! 2nd is a public holiday in scotland too!!)

    ended up going to Sportsdirect.com hoooge shop where it was massively heaving with people, however i was able to get some running shoes from there, although if they will be the correct style for my "gait" i dunno... i got some Asics for only £25... so i will be happy with them and see how they feel.....

    we went to Arcade for some fun, was going to go bowling but toooo long a queue.... so spent some of Big G's money in arcade!!

    we went for tea for a fish n chips tea, there was some problem with the printer in the kitchen and our meal was delayed, so we ended up getting it all for nowt!!

    Big g wouldn't let me order pudding as he said it was taking the !!!! by having extras once we knew it was free!!! he is so not MSE!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)
  • Ah Linda, he's lush! What a cutey patootey!

    do people let you use knives? cos with me my folks in particular used watch me as tho my left hand was really controlled by the devil and I would randomly stab myself!

    and scissors, I use them right handed, but Mum STILL insists that ooo she can't use scissors (er yes I !!!!ing can!) (i teach for God's sake, I need to cut stuff up)
    Nevertheless she persisted.
