    Well done hypno and good luck Lurks!

    I've just done 30mins stepper this morning as it is day off running today and I'm hoping to improve my muscle tone for running

    Good Luck Linda.. It will be tough out there, but I am sure you will be pleased....
    Not long Lurkio....:T

    Fed up, running will naturally improve your muscle tone. But any sort of cross training is good so that your muscles dont adapt to one form of exercise. I cycle loads and I struggled to adapt to running, but doing the both together really helps. Swimming next for me......then iron mans!

    I'm back! :)
    It was warm and VERY busy. Great atmosphere as always, I turned up clutching 2 numbers as they'd sent me 2 race packs. One was red and the other green. When I learned that green was elite it was very quickly discarded :eek:
    I've no idea what my time was yet but I hope it's faster than when I did it last year (my first ever race)

    EDIT: chip time was 1:13:45 - 9 minutes faster than last year. :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.

    That'll take some doing. Not really set up for camera transfer type stuff (says the IT bod :o). I will, but it might take a while :)
