Simon -- thanks! Brilliant lady that. I'm not anywhere near like that though - I mean I'm not even running once a week - in fact, I'm lucky if I'm walking the dog once a day at the moment. )
Beth -- I'm amazed because generally the people around me think I wouldn't want to see the breast cancer awareness stuff - because it's a reminder. My friend rang me last week and said, don't go into ASDA, it's all pink! Of course I had to go didn't I and I must admit everytime I see all the campaign stuff it brings a tear to my eye - but not of sadness, I'm just so happy that so much is being done to promote women's awareness so that even if it helps just one lady not to go through what I have, well ... I think it's worth it )
I was going to email RW and ask about putting the link to the thread on the front page but then I thought we wouldn't have as many posts ) what with all the pushing and shoving -- we might even catch up to the URWFRC (doubtful though)!!
And reminder - check check check - I did mine last night ) All is okay.
I got on fine with the oban half on sunday:I managed to do it in 2hrs/22mins.So I think that is not to bad for a first half.Could actually be doing with the body massage all over again!! My legs still feel a wee bit sore and tight.The day was nice & dry,also plenty of water stations which was good,as it was quite humid.I also met up with a girl from one of the other forums as well:And it was purely coincidental.So that just made the day even better. So I am not sure what to go for next:Maybe it will be the big one FLM?Fingers crossed. Speak to you,s later. Flipper!!
Hi Sharon -- well done with the Oban Half!! That's one place I really love... Mr & I always spend some time there on our way to Skye for most of our hols Maybe you should do the FLM.
if youre feeling well enough it would be lovely to meet up with you at knutsford - just play it day by day though
sorry you're struggling with getting out to walk at the moment - is that the treatment or is it the stress of everything making you tired?
oh and Jane Tomlinson -wow- what a woman - she makes me feel really lazy when I hear about what shes done this year. Theres something about her on the CRUK website (link at the top of RW website) under GNR and she can be sponsored there too
Thanks for your reply!! Yes Oban is a very nice place,I can see why you spend alot of time up their! Hope you are feeling better soon!! As for the FLM:I Have applied for it,so its just a matter of fingers crossed.
Hello - was checking out this thread, and fantastic came across someone who did the Oban 1/2. I come from Oban! I did GNR on Sunday. Wondered if anyone on the site would be doing Oban. What was the course? How many folks did it? I'm in London, but was up home for a wedding and saw the ads for it.
Cath - been trying to follow what's been going on with you - hope your still smiling.
Simon - Race for Life is for girlies only, but Stride for Life is for everyone! Sharon - well done on your Half.. fantastic.. I've applied for the FLM too. dunno if I'll get a place, but if not, I'm determined to complete a Marathon next year somewhere! Michelle x
The Breast Cancer charity is a superb charity as are most, but if I get another cheap plastic pen through my post box just one more time ! I had six from Oxfam , 2 from The Blind, lots from Amnesty International and countless others.

Not that she'd say she was particularly "Brave" - but I for one would take issue with her on that...
you stole my thoughts about Jane Tomlinson
she was hoping to raise 100,000 this year from the 3 events and will probably do it - bombard the bbc!
not goood!
heave - booooiiiingggggggggg!
Remember him ? The Magic Roundabout ?
booooiiiingggggggggg - "Time for bed"
Anyway whats with this race/stride for life business - I always thought it was girlies only. Always seemed a bit unfair cos us blokes get cancer too.
What's wrong with pink? If it upsets the partners it's good enough for me!
