Sounds like fun! I would love to "WALK" in an event like this.... how many miles is it...

[YP1]

6.2 miles.

I didn't run today but tomorrow I have "4 miles easy" on the schedule. Luckily my legs actually still feel in one piece after yesterday's 8 mile effort!

I need some more running shoes when I actually summon up the courage to run on a treadmill in the running shop and have my style analysed. No matter how far I run I'm still worried they'll analyse it as "deluded fat chick"!

[kykaree]

A) You are NOT fat
B) You run fast enough to join a running club
C) The people in the running shop want to make money and it's not in their interests to belittle you! If I can go in and be measured, you can, and I am waaaaaaaayyyyyy fatter than you

Maz, I don't know if I'll be running, by that stage i hope to be but I may be power walking or half and half, we'll see! You are more than welcome to join us!

I know, I have told myself precisely those things but still didn't "get round" to going up there on Saturday. Maybe on Wednesday for late night opening?

[2frustrated]

I went to get my stride measured too and was mightily scared also! I know how you feel!

But then I thought if I didn't go I'd be wrecking my feet, legs, hips etc running in crappy shoes, so it's worth your while! Also treat yourself to a cute new running top while you're there as a reward for going

[YP1]

I already have a cute little size 10 running top (well, not so cute, but warm and wicking which will do me at this time of year. And size 10)

[kykaree]

show off

My sister is in denial of being size 10. She bought a top in the sales it looked like a small childs size to me.

[kykaree]

I've not been a 10 since I WAS a small child!!!!!

[2frustrated]

I think I was 8 the last time I wore size 10! Actually, probably 6 or 7! I have a size 10 Oasis top now though!

[2frustrated]

Did some more running yesterday - day 2 week 6 couch to 5k, 10 mins jog, 3 mins walk and should have done 10 minutes jog, but only did 6 I'm a bad frus! Or a tired frus, not sure which!

[YP1]

Today was 4 miles with 30 second "bursts". I did 40 minutes which worked out at 4.25 miles/6.75k, so still on track. And I may have blurted out after a glass of wine or two that I'm training for a half marathon, so I guess I'm committed now...

[2frustrated]

I think I've posted this all over the forum.. maybe I should've just started a new thread!

I ran for 25 minutes NON STOP today. Just now! Just got back in! There was still enough energy left for a minute of fast-ish running at the end!

Oh and I haven't put this anywhere... But I forgot my socks... and ran with no socks so I have a nice blister! But it was worth it!

[veggie]

Well done Superwoman

[YP1]

Well done!

I didn't run today, but I did sign up for Race for Life, which opened for registration today (being a sad running obsessive I had the date it went live written in my diary to remind me )
