    Beach running is very hard, I found. There was a horse track I ran up on Sunday that was kind of compacted sawdust stuff, and that was hard work too. I like tarmac. :)

    Have run on beach once I think - very hard indeed - great for leg muscles though! My usual route is a mix of pavement and path through the woods, I do quite like a bit of mud :D

    I like tarmac too - mud is annoying when you are racing because you get stuck and cant get out fast enough! ;)

    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.

    Ohhhh, lol, talking of muddy paths, we went for a walk in the Cambridge countryside on Saturday afternoon, and I didn't think to change my footwear so was wearing very nice wedge sandals...we went down a path that seemed at first just lke a nice country path through some farmland, and suddenly it turned to the boggiest, most revolting path ever!!

    I didn't want to look like a prissy girlie, so trampled through it anyway, but ewwwww, mud squelching between your toes isn't pleasant! AND I got stung by a nettle!!!

    Now I feel that I've rushed it! I thought I'd taken ages too.

    Not sure about the A&L job. Any decent money relies on you selling insurance etc and I get so cross when they do it to me when all I want to do is pay in.
