    Thanks Maz :)

    You're doing brilliantly too - I'm absolutely certain the 10k will be achievable for you.

    I've got 2 pairs of trainers, but neither are ideal. One pair has the gel insoles, but the trainers themselves give me blisters (as you saw! And I got another horrible one on Wednesday despite having a plaster on before I even started!). The other pair don't seem to give me blisters as quickly, but the gel insoles wont fit in them, which I think is why my ankle is a bit sore.

    I'll have to see if I can get some more I think, but my budget is rather tight at the moment to say the least. :rolleyes:

    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.

    Thanks Sammy. I can't fit 4 runs a week in unfortunately, sometimes it's only one or two.

    Basically I can go every Wednesday while Stu has the kids.

    Then every other week, he has them all weekend, so I could go Fri/Sat/Sun.

    So one week it might be once, one week, potentially 4 times (although the most I've ever managed is 3 :whistle:). Not ideal really.

    I can fit walks in more easily because I can do them while Ryan is at school and take Natasha in the pram. I keep intending to map a 10k walk to at least get used to the distance, but haven't *quite* got around to it yet! :o

    Snaggs, did you buy a treadmill in the end? I know you were talking about it a while back :confused:

    Hi all...

    Hugs for Bookie & DD xx

    I'm moving next week into a council flat!! Wooohoooo, will be so much better off, going from a band c council tax to a band a and much cheaper gas/elec as has a new combi boiler. Just gotta get my !!!! into gear and get packing! I have the car half full of boxes ready to go over. Carpets are going down 2moro which weren't cheap!! But luckily I had the rent ready to pay for this place so that paid for that! Be lovely to have new carpets etc.

    Just bit worried about living in a flat with DD, no garden etc but we do have the new forest 5 mins up the road and a park opposite us.

    xx

    Right, my surprise is done and ready. Many apologises for missing anyone out. Nothing personal, just me being forgetful and running out of ideas.
