My goodness-that looks like hard work! Keep at it girl.
Philippa, I'm glad your calf is improving. I'll cross my fingers for you that the next few days go OK.
Anne
Do an extra lap for me won't you?
Still cheering for you, but you could here that I'm sure anyway.
Marj
are you allowed to say
Sorry I've been a bit slack in keeping everyone up to date with my progress. I have now lost 35 lbs... (but still a long way to go)... and have been running for a couple of weeks now... still doing run/walk type program but can now do 15 min run, 5 min walk x 4... albeit very slowly!! I'm doing the Stevenage 5k tonight so that will be a challenge... especially since it's so cold today and the race isn't until 7.30pm... brrrr... I'm getting cold thinking about it!!
Good luck with the 5k - I'm sure you'll find it easier than you think.
Please let us all know how you get on in the 5K.
Well done again on the fantastic weight loss
(~:
You are doing incredibly well with the weight loss and the running, and you seem totally committed to achieving your goal.
Well done
Well the 5k was fantastic!! I ran the first half very slowly 19 mins, and ran the second half in 16 mins... not world records but I was very pleased... I'm looking out for another 5k now... anyone know of any coming up soon around London/Herts/Essex way??
Thanks everyone for your support!!
and a negative split too
Well done that girl!
Have you pre-registered on the race for life web site? Oodles of 5k's, but I don't know when they start. Probably after the big day! Have you done a count down? How long is it off? I'm really excited for you. I have resolved that next year I'll go for it too ... it will take me that long to build up to it ... a 10k nearly finished me off (~: It is all a matter of keep plugging away isn't it.
