    Going back to that 500cal/day RW thread - Love the responses, Linda!

    You big tease!:p

    Hey, I'd run with a stick and a steak dangling from the end of it as an incentive if I could! :D

    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.

    Why not persuade them to do a parkrun instead?

    Nobody sponsoring will care whether its a 5K 'Race For Life' or a 5K parkrun.

    The difference will be that the results, and hence proof of completion, will be available online almost straight away AND there will be £12.99 per person more to donate to charity.

    Hehe - my first thought was 'shame there isn't a parkrun nearer here'... think some of them are more interested in the girly day out aspect of it to be honest, and pretty sure some will be walk/ jogging rather than running.

    I do fancy doing this at some point though - http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/events/viewevent.asp?sp=&v=2&EN=54124&ms=

    Now if we'd called it a rest day you'd have been been jumping up and down saying 'Excuse me, I've been out';)

    Ron Hill didnt get his string of 15,000 consecutive training days by dismissing 1 mile so easily...:p
