I warn you all now though......I couldn't run for a bus right nowI did go out for two trips round the block with Pania a few weeks ago but kept making excuses..........
I need a big kick up the backside.
My kids are at karate for 2 hours tomorrow evening at a sports centre half an hour away from home - I could take my kit with me and run (sort of) while they are training, then sneak into the changing rooms there and nick their showers.......Successful women can still have their feet on the ground.

I was trying to come up with some pun to get me out of that little spelling mistake. I'm sure there is one with the weather today, but I'm not very creative at the moment.:rolleyes:Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j

I'm sure they were virtually my exact words on my first post!
Don't worry there's not a chance you need any more motivation - you just need to inhale running atmosphere.Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j

From my recollection, that is just deep heat and sweat........eeewwww!!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

You're right - there is a certain something about that aroma at the start of a race that you just couldn't mistake with anywhere else.
Although I think best not ponder the subject too much.
I'm going to rephrase:
Instead of 'Inhale Running Atmosphere' you need to 'Wholly immerse yourself in running banter'
There, that sounds better!!! :rolleyes:Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
