    Please can someone tell me why we're not counting the cross trainer? I was really looking forward to this challenge, but my knee can't cope with the pressure of running and I can only go about a mile walking before it gets very wobbly, so I was going to do the marathon on the cross trainer as it's so low impact.
    You could do marathon distance on a cross trainer? wow! After reading your comment earlier, I tried one out in the gym for the first time today just to see what it was like... 3 minutes and i'd had enough! If you can go the distance on one of those then well done :-)

    and talking about cross trainers... it's Jillian!

    She is not straight??? I thought she was married....???

    Edit: Googled it, she is bi-sexual and Bob is gay! There you go. I didn't know that about either of them and have watched 10 series.

    Ahh good idea betty, i'll defo go into my local pound shop to see if i can grab a hula hoop from in there!

    I always feel paranoid running, is there a countryside route you can take? I often find i don't mind running if its a car just going past, they're not watching me for long enough!!

    I have planned out a route that avoids the local schools and just goes down quiet-ish roads :D Hopefully I'll get my butt in gear and get my running shoes on soon!

    I LOVE the crosstrainer, my fave thing at the gym!
