    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.

    Bradford road race in October (choice of 5 miles or 10 miles!)

    This is the pre-marathon - they are testing the course for next year - its going to be run on 5 rings to look like the olympic logo - very exciting :D:D

    Are you doing the 5 or 10 miles Linda?? Me and OH are hoping to do the 10miles for £12 its not too expensive - got a feeling one of the loops is going to be hilly though...not sure if they are running that this year though or not!

    Yep, he comes round every Wednesday in a ice filled van with last night's catch, I've never tasted fish as fresh in my entire life!!!

    Linda,

    I've not decided yet, I did 5 miles quite happily on Sunday in 1 hour 5 mins (it was hilly too)
    I'm building up my distances now so I'll see how I go.
    I'd like to do the 10 miles if I can.
    The Lister park loop won't be too bad but running up to Bowling park (the 2nd loop) will be a tougher one.

    Cool well I just tried to pre-register and its not working but hopefully we'll enter on the weekend because I reckon this one will fill up quickly - the recent 10k OH did in Bradford was very popular :D

    Good on Bradford for doing it too and not charging a fortune :D
