thanks scaredy.

maybe i should just get a bike... duno. not many places to cycle "safely" here i dont think. plus last 2 times i was on a pushbike i fractured both wrists and almost cracked my pelvis / gave myself internal bleeding.

i am a fast walker, so can only keep doing that at lunch time - maybe start walking to work too (only 2 miles) -- just dont want to put up with these sore shins every time i walk or whatever.

Doomy.....step away from the bike.

From the runners thread, start of with the brisk walking, which you have done, then when you go for a run, run as far as you can, then walk the rest of the way.
Idea being that as time goes on, you will be able to run further.

Doom, if you look on the running thread, i know that Becky wrote something about how shin splints occur.

It was the only decision really Beanie. As soon as it started to affect the kids, it became time to rethink

You have made a fantastic start and it will have given you the oomph you need. :T

For the last hour, I've been getting a really strong smell of perfume, yet I'm here on my own, the kids are in bed. Very strange

I just came in to say something, now I've totally forgotten what it was.

oh yes,

I saw some of the bigest loser today on the telly while I was feeding the baby. The woman trainer is a right miserable cow isn't she, talk about a face you'd want to slap.
