HAHAHA actually the woman in front of me ran the whole way with her dalmatian - she was a beautiful dog - I was mighty annoyed when they passed me so thats a target for next week

And oh yeah Rich - opppps had a bit too many bubbles yesterday

Hehe I wouldn't worry about being passed by a dalmation - they are built for purpose!!

I thought you must have!;)

My DD is 14 and her best 5k time is 28 mins....I have just shown her this post and told her to get a move on!!! She now reckons she will do our race for life in May in 20 mins...........:rotfl:

Hypno - she needs to get on the interval training with you to improve

Good running Chick by the way - we missed you earlier in the week!

Hope you feel better soon Mellika - we're looking forward to hearing details of your walks soon

And Ukevas - sorry for waking you up

That is some progress!

Coupled with the amazing 14 year old in our race last week (sub 16mins:eek: ) maybe the youth of today is not as bad we would imagine!

There was an interesting character one place in front of her, Clive Tulloh, responsible for producing a lot of BBC1 programmes. Oh, and his brother just happens to be one of the most famous people in running circles and was European 5000m champion.

I wouldn't want to put any more training pressure on her, becky - she already skis to National level and is grading next weekend for her final belt before black belt in karate, so she trains for that 3 or 4 times a week too.

Running is something she is naturally quite good at, and her general fitness helps - she likes doing the 800m at school, but doesn't really try for it. They run as part of their ski training - up to 3 miles in the mountains in the winter. :eek: .....and she is no stranger to the dreaded bleep test, so I dare say she COULD do a fast 5k if she put her mind to it......perhaps once she has got her black belt out of the way she might be tempted!

Besides.....I want to be able to do 28 mins first! THEN she can race away from me!!!

Fair enough Hypno - jeez your kids must be soooo busy - where do they the energy for it all???

Tee hee you could run 28 minutes now I reckon - shame there arent any events near you to try them out

Ukevas

I hadn't looked at the weather forecast since its perfect at the moment with nice clear blue skies.

But it would appear that heavy snow from midday, and lasting the rest of the day, is on the cards.

Ah well, it's a good job we're northerners, eh ukevas?;)
