I'm definately running longer... before I used to manage about 1/2 a mile without stopping but can now do 1.4m on the road.. I guess it just seems so much harder on my own! I do take music but my earphones are rubbish and keep falling out. :rolleyes:

Right madam! See, looking back you are doing massively better. Honestly go to that website and start recording what you've done, how you've felt, it's very motivating reading back.

Re -earphones - either wear a hat or you can get some cheap ones that are designed for running and clip over your ears. Or......put some sellotape round your head :rotfl:

Morning all, well I still feel knackered but all the aches and pains seem to have gone!

JB - a mixture of goosebumps and disbelief really! It seemed like such a long night at the time and now it seems to have passed really quickly, and I can't quite believe we did it.

Sally - I would definitely do it again, no doubt! However my friend who did it with me, surprised me by saying that she wanted to take up running (she's always said she hates it), so we're going to aim for our big fundraising event for next year to be running a marathon, probably Edinburgh. I was planning to do this anyway it's good to have some extra motivation. We live in different cities though so won't be training together.

I can't wait to get running again - but I think I might just have a few more days off....

:rotfl:If you do that we want photos!

It is hard when you get used to training with someone else, to then be on your own. Just think of us lot waiting to hear your reports back, and nagging you if you don't go!

I can relate to that!!! but i love the elation of reporting back to the thread about how i've got on.

Clippy over back of head headphones from poundland IA. we got some for Erin's MP3 player.

EDIT: IA, be careful if running on roads though, Better with single earplugs type as then you can have one plugged in and another listening for traffic.

Well, I've just entered the Nike 10k ("human race") which is on 31/08/08. That should give me something to aim for! I went for phase 3 (of 4) which I estimate to be the group "running all the way, but not breaking any records anytime soon". Anyone else entering?

Beinerts; In london, or somewhere galmourous!? Looks amazing, all those people at the same time!

Well done !!!

which charity did you opt to support?

No, I'm doing the London one, much as I'd like to run one of the other locations! Wouldn't be very MSE though, would it?!

I'm supporting the WWF, though they are all worth causes.

indeed!

10k non stop, is impressive to me.

I'm training hard to get up to 5k with minimal walk breaks... so here's hoping.

Did a 10k in 2005, but a few walk breaks, altho in my defence officer, it was a tough course!

Maybe next year!
