    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.

    Nice pics Linda, well done!

    Some people probably took ages as they were too busy texting on their mobile phones, saw loads whilst watching the run!

    There was a couple standing next to me who received a call from someone who was obviously out on the course....

    The end of the conversation I heard was 'Oh brilliant, at 5 miles already...'

    This was past 1hr 40 mins already !!!!!!! Now if you put a little less effort into ringing people up and put a bit more effort into running...........:rolleyes::rolleyes:

  • Rich when you've recovered from your pop would you please add a couple of races to the list for me?

    Halloween 5k Nite Run - Saturday 31 October 2009 - possibly a bit ambitious so soon after Abingdon but I'm hoping I might be up for a little plod by then.

    Somerley 10k - Saturday 3 January 2010

    ............. might be back with some more later :D

    Rich - in all the excitement of the weekend these got overlooked - could you add them to the list please? krider is also doing the Halloween Run.

    I'm glad to see everyone has survived the GNR intact with no injuries - who's entering what next then????? :rotfl:
