    Fair enough (its actually not really hilly - just one hill thats a bit mean at 4k - the 3rd time you go up it!)

    I'll see how I feel after Friday, might just give it a go, I'll let you know, Ooooh I could collect the running shoes too couldn't I? :T

    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.

    Okay, thanks.


    by the way...Welcome newbies!

    I'm by no means a speedster, much more of a plodder!

    Ev - if you havent entered yet I would skip it...find something else to do in a few months :)

    Red - I would do a 12 but I suspect Rich will suggest a 10 ;):p
  • julie_scot ran 5.67 km on 18/2/2010 at 9:29 AM with a pace of 6'12"/km http://nikerunning.nike.com/n/r/en_GB/612344652/1550947622/?sitesrc=fbk_ab_plus

    Conclusion - hate running on my own, started too fast and so used to running in the dark :(

    Very cold, it takes a while for my throat to cope. Had a panic attack while running through the town and everyone turned to look at me. But the best bit was when a cute little girl held out her ribena for me :D

    Good effort, Julie. I start all my runs off slowly (just can't seem to keep some slow :o). Once my lungs have warmed up and my heart rate settles etc. I'm much happier! you'll get there, it just takes a bit practice until you get it right.

    Right then, will hopefully be joining squizz to do the Sheffield 1/2 on 25th April. It's my birthday on 24th so I can ask parents to have kids overnight as my prezzie and visit a friend in Sheffield on the Saturday (notoriously boozie nights with her so will have to be a sober visit. Best night was seeing Elvis in the city centre.....!) and then do the race on the Sunday :D

    I agree - I used to go off to fast but I find in this weather its very hard to breathe in that icy air so it keeps me a bit slower till the lungs are warmed up :)
