    10 miles today, and my legs feel great.

    It's falling into place slowly I might add....

    Welcome Webitha, 25 mins is excellent and running is the best way to lose weight, my love handles and chins are dropping off.
  • Hello webitha and welcome!

    Mellika - don't worry, I still feel a bit embarrassed about posting my 'achievements' with all these experts around and especially after asking about running a marathon this morning. I never thought that I'd be doing that. :eek:

    Becky - I would like to confirm my interest in Abingdon (oh, my gosh I've said it out loud now) but obviously have a lot of work to do. It would be good to meet up with peeps and I need something to work towards to keep me motivated. Would you be kind enough to pull me a plan together (pretty please)? I can send you my current training log so that you can see what I've been running recently if that would help. :D

    Jeez Uk those times are FAST!!!! Go you :D

    Well done rusty on another 10 miler - nice work, did it feel like you could have gone further??

    Simply - I can indeed :D - I'll need you're target time, current longest run and time and how many days you'd like to train a week - pm me your email addy and I'll do the plan this evening - it might take a bit longer than a beginner one as I'll need to run it past Rich too since hes the expert :D

    I have decided to do my long run in the morning, so won't be running tonight. I did work out my average milage per run over the last couple of weeks (since I got my new trainers) and it is over 8 miles per run, which I am pretty pleased with......

    After the disappointment of last weekend's long run, I am not making any plans - not planned a route or anything, I will just see where I go, and take it from there. That way, I can't be too focused on trying to achieve something specific. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, but I thought if I just go out to enjoy my run, I might get further!

    Last weekend, one of the things I noticed was that I was needing water, so I bought some doughnut bottles today......that should solve that problem!

    I am tentatively saying I would like to do Abingdon, but I will decide once I have done FLM......definitely possible though!

    Fair enough Hypno - sensible and logical as always, I didnt run today either so that makes me feel better :D

    I love my camelback I have to say - even if Rich hates it and says its pointless, I think its great for long runs because I can have free hands :D
