    I've been in my PJs since I got back from Tesco at 9 this morning. Is that naughty :o

    Just woke up too. Sooo tired, not sure why :rolleyes:

    You didn't go to tesco in your pj's did you...:rotfl:

    At christmas I saw loads of young orange girls in pj's and velcro rollers in the supermarkets.

    I did a double take on New Years Eve when the gorgeous girl behind the counter served me with her hair in curlers...she never batted an eyelid...

    I wouldn't be seen dead in curlers...(not outside the house anyway!):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.

    Mr Sunday is a very experienced (and fast) runner (he runs mountain marathons amongst other insanities), but his style still isn't much to write home about, and he falls over ALL the time. :rotfl:

    Luc- that equates to about a 31 minute 5km run so have a look here and compare if you want to get an idea:
