    OK! Today I managed to run for about 35 min. in which time I did slightly over 3 miles. Does not sound much but try running it in 33C - I have to learn to cope with heat but...

    Today I passed some fasgion shops in this place - highly smackable but not sure whether it is the shops or me. Most outfits are so small that I suspect the waist will feel confortable around my arm (well, only a slight exaggeration). Time for dramatic measures, I think.

    What is 'shred' and who does it to me?

    I watched the level one of the shred and thought that it doesn't look that bad - OMG!!!! :eek: The strenght sessions are completely killing me. I can pretty much cope with all the other stuff. Upwards and onwards, just need to figure out how and when I can start running again. Sooo much easier :rotfl:

    Firewalker - put "30 day shred" into search box in Amazon

    Hello, 10k for me this morning and I'm loaded up with energy gels for a 9 miler this weekend.

    A month to the date until the Great North Run :eek: I'm scared!
    Hope everyone's ok and running well :)
