To marry the Mr
To visit New Zealand where the mr has family
To write a PhD
to all chasing your goals
Cath - do the NZ thing - you will love it!
Don't limit yourself to Nursing journals!
I'm sure all of us would be interested in reading what you could tell us.
(RW Ed, I hope you're taking note)
Get another job as being made redundant on 31/12/2002!!

2) Run FLM 2003 in less than 4.30 (previous FLM attempt an ill-prepared 5.10)
Caz -- my Dad has been made redundant 3 times and he reckons it's the best thing that has happened to him, otherwise he would have stayed in jobs he didn't like, but he ended up finding jobs he likes better and besides you can always stay in touch with your team... it's called networking I believe. Believe me it's valuable (as I have found lately).
As an aside, did you know there's a smiley face thing like this one -
my MD is driving me nuts!!

Cath - good fortune to all of your goals. May they all be met.
- to get my work organised so it impacts less on my weekends
- to do at at least 2 10ks by the end of November
- to keep running over the winter
- to do Reading Half in March
- to do the FLM in April
- to cut down on the alcohol

1. to complete the Nike 10K, was aiming for 60 mins but will just try and get round.
2. to improve this time on the 06/october in a local race
3. Keep running till Im 70 when i might be able to win a prize....
Netty
neilruns -- see, that's what I meant, I think a PB to some people is just as important a focus as "fighting" cancer - see to me, my fighting cancer is something I don't have a say in and have to do regardless of what I want. Whereas a PB, is like an ambition and dream to achieve with a sense of achievement. I doubt I'll have that sense of achievement once the chemo and radium is finished, I think I'll be just so glad it's over
Oh yes and World Peace!
1. To run that wretched Windsor half in 2hrs. 5mins (did 2hrs 8mins today over a very hilly course with a dog fight half way)
2. Maybe to think about increasing my speed over the next year - this year I've focused on distance and I think 13.1 miles is at least about 3 miles too far for me
3. But then the Reading half... hadn't thought about it but it would be a shame to let this level of fitness and endurance dwindle away over the winter
4. To try and increase my decision making skills - or maybe I should do some kind of course - what do you think...?!
So no foruming
