    Seaxwyn - that's brilliant! Well done :)

    I to was a little worried about the trainers, as mine aren't running ones really, but for now they'll do :)

    Ooh you're all doing so well :T I'm still choked up with the cold but am making the effort to walk to/from work as many times as possible this week (part to keep me moving and part to save on bus fares :rolleyes: ).. used the Gmap thing to check distance and it's about 2.5 miles - with lots of hills! - and takes me about 45 mins. Really frustrated though as I want to get running.. feel like I need my head scrubbed out and my lungs washed :angry:

  • Well done Sea, you're doing fab! As long as your trainers are comfortable and fit to run in you should be fine.

    I didn't get out, was at police station until 2am so no way I was going to get up at 5.45am for a run :rolleyes:

    Am going tonight though - no excuses

    Oh dear, I hope everything's OK - were you the victim of a crime or were you perhaps helping the police with their enquiries? Had your children reported the theft of all their toys?

    I feel as if I have discouraged people with my comments about running shoes, which I did not want to do at all.

    You should be Ok until you increase your milage. I would probably try to do as much running as possible off road eg grass and tracks. You may be able to find a deal on running shoes. My pair before last I purchased at 1/2 price.

    I was unfortunate enough to offer to help out a colleague and got called out when a client was arrested :mad: I therefore had the pleasure of trying to defend a pretty vile little man against the police, I did tell him that he had ruined my morning run, didn't look too concerned though :rolleyes:

    Just googled running shoes and had a quick look. Seems as if there are some offers around at the moment.

    Up and running have a sale on some men and womens lines at less than 1/2 price
