    Sammy I wonder if you need to look at what you want out of running before you decide if you want to quit - it seems tough at the moment for you to get out because stuff with OH is really tough, but could you use it as an 'escape' a few times a week - just some 'me' time?? Then you might start to enjoy it again and then perhaps you can think about some more structured training again...

    Just an idea...

    Not flippant at all BB - good point....although maybe when he is more 'lucid' for want of a better word I may mention it...

    Just had my burglar alarm testing...it also has a monitored smoke alarm, a panic button and an emergency medical alarm button.....:rotfl:we are wetting ourselves here......if he presses it just once, he will be dead......:rotfl:

    Scorg....I haven't been out either, I seriously think I am scarred for life after that. Even thinking about giving up running.

    I am so scarred from that run. I totally could give up running, but I've got that flippin half marathon for Bowel Cancer in October, so might give up after that :o I just felt so unfit and healthy on that race Sammy, I honestly would've given up if someone had asked me to

    Oh, and can't give up till been on my Loch Ness 10k to see Maz, Erin and Beanie

    You could always sell him on ebay. :D Sorry, bad bad Scorgy. No Sammy, you must not give up, that was just a bad day for us, it didn't kill us therefore it should have made us stronger!

    Can you use it as a way to focus the mind for the next one scourgey during training?

    I've had races before where I havent really been fit enough (Sunday anyone ;)), but I've used that feeling to push myself more in training next time because I dont want to feel like that again...

    The more you train the easier and more fun it gets tbh :D
