    What was your first run then? What time did you complete it in?

    Not sure I started with a distance of 2.8 miles through central London - but I know the first few weeks I didnt finish it - it took about 2-3 weeks to get to end running (I used to stop and walk after a while) and about 2 months before I was able to time it properly then it was taking between 15 mins and 25 depending on the day/heat/traffic/lights etc :D, I did this run at least 5 days a week to get to that stage (to work from the train station and/or the reverse):o. I thought I was fit until I started running - wow did it open my eyes :p

    My first race was in January this year a 10 miler and I ran 1:24 something - thats actually one of my best times WAVA to date - but I'd really upped my training by October last year and was getting in about 30 miles a week...I'm glad that I've discovered I was ill during the marathon because I was disappointed by my time - but I know if can get more quality training in between now and the next one or the one after then I should be able to knock some time off :D:D

    I'm not sure what tips I'll get from the sports day, although balancing a bean bag on your head must be good for posture!

    Right got to go baby needs milk, see you later.

    I agree for other people - not for me though :D, I've never wanted any as it happens :D

    Hope the heel heals quickly - try some compeed if you can get them as they cushion too :D
