  • Well done SW that was brilliant! :j

    Did the first training session according to my programme last night and it was just a steady 3 miler which I did in 27 mins. DH was with me and made me run (instead of walk!) up massive hills and I felt fab. Out again tomorrow night and Friday. The only thing is I downloaded my training schedule onto my Garmin and I can't stop it bleeping at me to go faster/slower - I was ready to kill it!!!

    Hello running enthusiasts,

    I'm now on hols and although no running I did walk to school with dd this morning then we're going Xmas shopping so lots of exercise there!

    DH is still out plodding, wrapped up in his hat and gloves (and full kit mind you!) bless little red cheeks when he comes back.

    There's a bloke round here who runs with no top on no matter what the weather, brave? No completely b***dy mad!

    Hope you're all well

    Ev x

    Tell me when they go out training :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I am heading up north tomorrow for Christmas and new year. So a welcome change of running environment. I will also be running the New Years Day 10k in Cleethorpes. I had been a bit under the weather before running the event last year so I should be guaranteed a better time. However you never know!

    Good luck cnoelj!

    I don't expect to be doing a lot of running over the hols but will be getting out for lots of walks (not topless though :rotfl:) ! My Moonwalk training will start in earnest after the New Year, planning to do a good combination of running and walking, and try to get in a few 5k/10ks before the big one in June. Please nag me if I appear to be being lazy!!

    Hope you all have a good Christmas and here's to a fit and fast new year! :j xx

  • Wow!! Log on and everyone knows that me and P regularly run topless :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    ISOM what Garmin are you getting? I have a 205 and absolutely lurve it! I downloaded the marathon training plan onto it, but the constand beeping telling me to speed up is getting me a little psychotic when out running.

    Have been following my first week and so far done 4 runs, 5th tomorrow is 7 miles. Running with DH is actually quite good fun and making me run quicker but running in the cold is an absolute killer!

    Good luck everyone with Xmas and New Year runs :)
