    right, I'm back. Did 10k in 1h 47. Hip stiff but not sore :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I want to run one 5 km and run one 10 km next year.

    so (ironically) after Leeds and once work is fixed I shall start a proper training thing (with lots of advice from you guys xxx)

    Me me me :D

    I'll do em with you. I want to run one too. Feel like I've been cheated out of this one for one reason or another. Would help me with the weight loss too. I need something to work towards ;)

    I think my DD will be carrying us both, especially round that hill at 8k. I increased the incline when I got to 8k, and it nearly killed me. We'll just have to get each other round somehow :D

    I've just looked again at the route, and it starts in a completely different place to where I thought, so I'll probably meet you at the start like everyone else.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    We've done them on the front. No spare letters, sorry babes. They just sent us the right ones. What about getting a permanent marker?
