    Spud - you will manage Leeds!!! Even if you have to walk it, so what!!! It's taken me aaages to get up to running 10k, so don't set unrealistic targets that you'll set up to fail.....even if you walk it, it's a major achievement (another major achievement in 2009!!)

    Maz, I know I wont be able to run it. Those tests mean I've not got enough time to get fit enough. Maybe next year ehh ;)

    I'd be happy if I thought I could walk it, but I'm not even sure of that to be honest. Me and DD went out for a ickle bit earlier, but I got out of breath just walking up to the woods where we run. Maybe I need to just go out and do one, then I'll know one way or t'other wont I.

    I have this huge fear that everyone will have gone home by the time I get to the end, if in fact, I make it at all :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
  • Hello. been gardening. shattered but garden looks LOADS better and we are going to the nursery tomorrow.

    so even tho I am way behind in work I have to say I feel very content and not stressed.

    Linda sorry you are so ill. I wondered where you were, thought you had gone away for Easter. (((((((((((many hugs)))))))))
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    SPUD! I will NOT leave you believe me I am bricking it BIG TIME.

    I can't even walk to the bloody station without getting out of breath.

    I 'll crawl to the end.

    I'm even having dreams about it Buffy, or should that be nightmares :rolleyes:

    I guess I'm a bit ashamed of how flabby and unfit I am :o

    Hello. been gardening. shattered but garden looks LOADS better and we are going to the nursery tomorrow.

    so even tho I am way behind in work I have to say I feel very content and not stressed.

    Linda sorry you are so ill. I wondered where you were, thought you had gone away for Easter. (((((((((((many hugs)))))))))

    I'm away next weekend, me and my friend are taking our daughters on a mini holiday (The Sun vouchers)
    should be fun,
    I guess the chaps will just stay home, watch Rocky, put up some drywall and shoot bear.
    ... Linda xx
    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.

    Spud - even if you were the last to finish (and you wouldn't be!), we would not leave you out there on your own! I now realise I can't walk 5k (the walk I mapped from my holiday was a shade under 4k) without my leg and back being too painful, so you should be really proud that you think you can walk 10k!
