    Well done Hypno and Pania :T

    Your time was really good Hypno - I watch every year on the telly and just dont know how you guys do it. I once ran a half marathon and thought I had trained quite well until I couldnt walk properly for a week afterwards! And you raised some great cash for the charity :D

    Thanks guys - so back to reality today, although it is now the first of a few short weeks as the bank holiday run kicks in, which is a bonus.

    My legs are somewhat stiffer today than they were yesterday....to be expected, but still not as bad as in previous years so I am happy with that. It is the stairs that are the biggest problem, so I will try and keep those to a minimum today! I did a fair bit of walking yesterday so hopefully that will help keep things moving over the next few days.

    Payday on Thursday I think - so just need to make the cash in my purse last a couple more days.

    I hope all is well with you guys xx

    Morning Hypno!

    Fantastic run and to beat your goal time is even more fantastic! Hope the legs make it through the day. I imagine sitting for long periods would stiffen them up!

    Have a lovely Tuesday!

    Thanks, urg, I was absolutely made up with the time as it was something I had been aiming for ever since that first marathon way back in 1991! Only took me 20 years to achieve, but hey, I got there :cool:

    I am very glad that I took yesterday off work, though - last time, I went straight back to the office which was a mistake - not just on a physical level, but on a mental/emotional level too.....hopefully this time I am a little more grounded in myself. Time will tell! Ibuprofen will definitely be required though, that much is for sure!!

    Thanks!

    Although I find a few large drops of Bombay Sapphire in tonic water eases them just as well :D
