  • she's a lovely girl is our Squizzer! and she's underselling herself fitness wise.... she trained like mad for the moonwalk!

    That won't take a lot of doing - I suspect we're all 'virtual runners' really. It's dead easy - you just google bits of info that make it sound like you know a little bit about running. And then you grab a couple of pics of some random bloke in a race and , hey presto, everyone thinks you're a real runner. ;)

    I suspect you're probably the only real runner here and therefore you are the fastest!

    Speak for yourself! Okay I havent quite done my usual total this week but I've still run 12 miles since Monday and have a 6 miles planned in for tomorrow.

    But I am slow as a tortise though... so Red will be faster than me already!
  • oh i never claim to be a real runner....... and i can probably safely assume i am the slowest!

    but wait til i get my sorbowhatsit for my shoes..... you won't see me for dust!!!

    I dont time mine per sea...it takes me between 15 and 22 mins to do 3 miles...depending on start or end of the week, and it took about 45-50 mins to do 5.25 miles the other weekend.

    Whats does that work out at (I'm thick)??:o
  • Oh no!

    I've now got an image of a curly haired, redheaded tortoise with clicky ankles!

    This isn't working.

    anywhere between 6.0 and 9.5 minutes per mile roughly............. so kinda varied..... but much much faster than me, and faster than average i'd say.... what makes you think you are slow?

    They probably only came out the door, or are lying in a hedge somewhere as you pass them later unbeknown to you!!

    Yes, it's fast, in my humble opinion.......
