    Snags, hope you feel better soon.

    Good luck for tomorrow Sammy!

    Toto, hope your computer gets sorted soon.

    I went round to my sisters for tea - mushroom risotto. Then we went on a practise run to a place she's got a job interview at on Tuesday to see how long it took. Enjoying a cider in front of the tv now.

  • Ooh quiet chat tonight, and I am usually long asleep by now - cramming the studying in still :rolleyes: reading about the transformation of the welfare state - what happened to my life, 3 years ago I'd have been in the pub - though admittedly spending money and surrounded by total losers :rolleyes:

    Zed that is great, is it bad that I let out a laugh? Call it a nervous laugh if you like - it's pretty scary stuff (to put it mildly)...

    I am exHAUSted. I'd go to bed but OH is snoring. I didn't run today, maybe I will go first thing before it gets hot, before the baby wakes up.

    Would appreciate any advice from the experts - and non-experts! - of how to get as close to 5k as I can in, um, 3 weeks :eek:

    I so want to do this. I found it so easy the first time round, why? Am I that fed up? (No one need answer that one :rolleyes:) I am up and down and I know why, I know perfectly well why, but have just no one to talk to... my thoughts are all over the place and I feel like I never switch off. I am so tired but all I can think about is going and doing some filing - how the !!!! do I expect to go running at 6? But maybe that's why I need it - to switch off - to forget things. Swimming is great but humid and busy, the gym is too pricey and I am not turning to drink :rotfl:

    Why do I always share stuff when no one is here? I did this last flippin weekend too. And I have no place here anyway, not really... am I the last person to go to a meet? Do I hide too much? Am I not honest enough? I don't feel liked. But why should I be? :rotfl:

    I shall now read about the golden age and the social democratic welfare state, don't worry, I'll read in my head...

    DD - you wont be able to go from a standing start to running 5k in three weeks unless you have been very fit recently - however, you will make progress in that time.

    The key is to set realistic goals - even its only to run the last 1k and then use this race as a motivation to get started and a notch on the way to better things :D

    Hope you feel better soon!!!

    (I have a hangover :p)

    Morning....yawn!
    Thought it was going to be hot and sunny today but its quite overcast here at the moment. Anyway I MUST get a run in today and next week I am starting a new plan leading up until September so I have something to work towards.

    Not got much else planned for today, might see my Brother and my Mum...oh and do some housework!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
