    Welcome aboard SF and well done on getting out there.. it does get easier! ;)

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement over the GNR - will try to set a few targets of shorter races over the months so I don't (hopefully) have a last minute panic!!

    Have walked flipping miles this weekend and off out into the countryside today... ooh me thighs ache...

    Well i am shattered but VERY chuffed!!!!! Made it a veeeeeery long way without atopping, only stopped twice in 4 miles, once about 1/2 way at crest of one of norwich's only damn hills!!! and then again at the shop about 100 yards from home for OH's jalapeno's!! where i got sternly berated for going into the shop dripping rain water!! 4_2_1.gif

    God it felt SOOOOO good to be back out there, almost exhilerating, esp in the rain and dark, like a mini adventure, or am i just very very sad? :confused:

    SO am miss chuffedy chuffedy at the mo but some advice is needed from you lovely peeps

    1) even with ipod ears in i got very very painful ears from the cold and wind, you know when the INSIDE of your ears really really hurts? Does anyone have any hints on stopping this?
    2) When i got home my head was POUNDING and i felt really sick for about 20 mins, i think it may have been low blood sugar but does anyone else have any suggestions?

    Thanks guys!!!! :D

    1. You were probably listening to rubbish music :rotfl: :rotfl:

    2. Perhaps if you build up the carbs. This is the only thing I can think of

    Oh and well done!
