    Hope you have a good run Maz, day off for me today and actually I think im coming down with something (sinuses, tickly throat and banging head).
    Cnoelj do you continue to train/run when you have a cold? I dont want to miss out on my training just because of a cold but equally I don't want to make it worse. Lovely Medal by the way, is it the first time you have run the LM?

    HI Sally, actually I've only run 3 times since December, when I did a 3-mile race. Last couple of times I've been interspersing 5 mins running with 1 min walking (roughly) and finding it easy. I will study that programme and see if I can get up to 45 mins running by June.

    I've registered for a 1 mile Fun Run on 4 May, as a nice little milestone along the way.

    You did a 3 mile race so im sure it won't take you long to get back to that fitness level at all. Im doing the RFL in July but I feel I might have to sign up for another 5k a bit before this so it keeps me motivated and aiming for something.

    Yay Sarah
    I have been waiting for you to join, hearing of your running on cannock chase I thought you might succombe to the club soon! Your RFL is the same date as mine, so I will be thinking of you. Ive signed up for the marathon 2009 :eek: after seeing my sister do it this year it spurred me on (always wanted to run it and applied several times about 10 years ago).

    The london marathon??? :eek:

    I was considering doing the great north run next year.. making a jump from 3 and a bit miles to 13m is going to be bad enough without doing a FULL marathon.. :rotfl:

    Hi IA :hello: If I remember rightly you are somewhere in the first few pages of this thread (was reading through the running club's early days the other day) ;) Good luck with the running!

    Brilliant medal cnoelj :T and great stuff Maz getting up early on a Sunday :)

    Still not feeling 100% today, had a ridiculous amount of sleep so there must be something up! Need a few bits and pieces in town so gonna walk in and probably back, round trip of about 5 miles, might go a bit further if I feel ok when I'm out there.
