    re today its the first day i have actually had a few surveys too do, i am at work monday/tuesday wednesday this week. My weekend is a bit like a replica of last weekend, i am going too see the Newcastle Falcons play Bath on friday night, then i have being invited out for a meal on saturday night with my lady friend. Sunday i am going running with the same lady friend. This is stupid i am sick of calling her that her name !!!! is the an abbreviation on her for female friend who i am dating but not in a full gf relationship with.

    ohhhhhh re running tips only thing i can advise is 4-5 good ones

    1) baby steps increase distances really slow

    2) go too a proper running shop and get a get analysis done re buying shoes, i spent 18months with blistering issues, achilles issues, no thanks too new shoes that fit right all are gone. spending 20-30 quid on running shoes is fine but once your running 3-4 miles plus yeeeeeeeeeeeeee no.

    3) buy a good running watch tom tom do some good ones for 50-60 quid

    4) hydrate well pre a run

    5) if you can run with a reliable partner

    Thanks for the tips Scott. I think the running shoes will be a priority but not till February's pay check though. I've got quite wide feet. Ive usually bought men's gym shoes in the past as I've found them more comfortable!:)

    How about an abbreviation of LF till things develop more....:D

    I have too re feet i always ran into ten and halfs or 11's turns out i have weird sized feet one is an 11 one is a quarter size bigger and wide ones.

    Hence over the years why i have had blistering issues achilles issues i have too run in canoes 11.5's but the issues are now gone. I have friends that are runners all over the shop let me know your area and ask about re a decent running shop.

    I like the abbreviation me and my LF are going looking at a flat for me on friday, my aunt and uncles place is okay but i need my privacy a tad more

    I does get a bit much after a while not having somewhere to truly call your own, doesn't it. Not that you're not grateful to the people who've helped you out, just that sometimes you need the ability to pop to the kitchen for a glass of water in your pants if you so choose! :D
