    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.

    Beanie I wanted too but I couldn't remember how much it was... £109 x 12 plus £500 overdraft plus £300 credit card *I think but I'm not sure if my overdraft wasnt bigger at the start of the year* see it gets complicated...

    can you look at your statement at 1st Jan last year and then the balance at the end of this year and see what the difference is...or do you not keep statements:confused:

    still 109*12 and 300 credit card is admirable

    Bloody hell woman, I don't even look that good when I'm done up to go out. And as for coming last, you finished that's all that matters. Every race I've ever entered I am always one of the last few to come in, but hey at least we finish it.

    I entered it last year, as they emailed me a couple of weeks after I'd done it and asked if I wanted to enter this years, so I did. I think I put about 59 minutes, I was dreaming at the time
