Tues - 6.2 miles in 59:57 9:38 mins/mile
Weds - 6.24 miles in 59:56 9:36 mins/mile

I'm turning into Simply look at those paces!!!

Um except it was supposed to be a longer 8 miler tonight...note to all - dont go running when you have a stomach upset - you might have to come back early and its not nice to have stomach cramps while out and about

becky_rtw

Shhhh Rich can you stop moaning about marketing please you'll put me out of a job if you make everyone catch on - its a secret

RichOneday_2

You're becoming a machine...;)

And come to think of it, why hasnt Simply changed her name to SimplyConsistent....far more fitting than Simplycynical!

Oo is that the time? Best get out for my run...:p

I'm sorry to say, Rich is totally right. I do a fair amount of voluntary fund raising. i've also worked for a charity in the past and these events cripple the funds in actual fact. The likes of St Johns have to squeeze what they can out of event organisers; what they get is pitiful, even for the London Marathon. And the other bad effect is people running in them and fund raising believe they are doing their bit for the charities, which they are - but the charity don't get it! Folk would b far better donating directly to the cause of their choice and gift aiding that donation.

I have no mis-understanding of peoples good intent, I just wish it was more honestly and openly reported on how and where the funds go.

Ooooh, I'm almost too embarrassed to post this morning's run - it was just a little bit consistent!!

Nice to see some good ranting going on - doesn't it always make you feel better?

Upset stomach Becky? Not good when you're out - hope you made it back in time

becky_rtw

Hahaha 9:40 and 9:38 matched to 9:38 and 9:36 thats brilliant

Yep I did - its making some funny noises now though and there was some ugly burping on route :eek:

Simplycynical

Ha, ha I often get burpy on long runs - I always hope there's no-one within earshot when it happens. Still it's often worse than that - I admit to being wind assisted on occasions. :rotfl:

Hope your stomach settles soon.

becky_rtw

Oh dear I'm blaming it on all the ranting on here today but I might have had a rant on RW :eek: too scared to go back and look now...they are scary over there sometimes!

Waving a white flag as I lift my head over the parapet. You've opened my eyes. I'm committed to walking it with my mother now but will think harder about it next year.
Becky I hope you get over your stomach upset soon.

Simplycynical

Might have had a rant??? Which thread? I need to have a peek.
