And I might get classed as a cheepskate for using an old pair of socks to keep my little hands warm, but I think BT would have welcomed a pair here:



But it didnt prevent a pretty determined finish for a man in marathon training:

A quick update on our hero (heroine?) at Leeds parkrun, Tess Hornby-Smith.

http://www.parkrun.org.uk/leeds/Results/AthleteHistory.aspx?AthleteNumber=7714

Building on her previous progress, she has now notched up a further 4 PBs in her last 4 races, meaning that she has taken a whopping 24 minutes off her 5K time since starting out 2 years ago.

What a great example of how to do things the right way, slowly, steadily and consistently!!:D

Man I thought my from 29:34 to 22:28 was good but theres always a show off! :mad::p

Morning all, nice runs Simply and Becky and great pics Beertins Hope you can sort the food thing out Becky, it sounds like a pretty healthy diet (apart from the fondant fancies ).

I could have eaten that trifle last night (although what's on top of it, looks like cotton wool? :eek:) - was SO HUNGRY! In fact most of this week I have been really lacking in energy and wanting lots of food.

Anyway, going for a 4 miler tonight I think, then 10 or 12 at the weekend - maybe I'll do 11 just to be awkward :rotfl:

Set off to do 12, with an option to call it a day at 10 if you're not flowing?

Or what about 11.26? That sounds like a nice random distance!:)

I'm sorry, but I have to share this one. This is a FAQ on the Women's Running Network site:

Why an all women group?
Our groups are fun, social, non-competitive and open to every age, stage, shape and size. We genuinely support the complete beginner.

Ignoring any of the other issues about a group like this, how the hell does that answer relate to that question?:rotfl:

The first draft: "We hate penis" somehow didn't make the grade.

And on another subject all together - Rich here's what I've eaten so far today and what I ate yesterday for comparison (which is fairly typical):
Breakfast:
weds - porridge, pear, black coffee x 2
thurs - porridge, 2 x passion fruit, 2 x brown pitta breads, pack of sugar snap peas coffee x 2

Lunch:
weds - innocent stew veg pot, 2 x pitta bread, coleslaw, diet coke
thurs - bacon and chicken sandwich, punnet of cherries, 7 fondant fancies (I know!!!)

Dinner:
weds - innocent veg casserole with a tin of sardines
thurs - probably cous cous with sardines, salad and baby corn

Now I'm having two problems - I am hungry all the time but I cant eat too close to running as I get a stitch
I feel like there is enough there to fuel me, or should be, but I am still losing weight

Help! Besides eating more sugar, which I dont want to do, I cant think what else I can add to my meals - I dont really cook all that often as cooking for one without a freezer is annoying, but I clearly need to be getting more calories in somehow!!!

Try sushi, it's light but filling at the same time, I find that after eating it at lunchtime I have loads of energy for my evening run.

The M&S sushi has NO raw fish in it!

Oh, btw I love the Innocent veg pots too! :T
