You both seem to be doing so well. I am not - which is part of the reason I have not been on recently. I am doing a half marathon in October, longest run so far 9, meant to do 10 Saturday but hubby had hangover so I could not go, only managed 4 yesterday and struggled. Have sort of decided that will try and do 10 this Saturday and if don't manage am not going to enter any more races until I loose the stone I have put on since January, and considering I have just eaten a deep fill cheese ploughmans and a turkish delight not much chance of that. But it was really fine!!
I don't know what has happened to Marion or anyone else for that matter. Ginger what sort of time are you hoping time are you hoping to do your half in and what one is it
I'm following the RW run/walk programme and hope to do 2 hours 40 for the half and around 5 - 5 1/2 for the marathon...this programme means you cover loads of miles without getting too knackered or injured.
I'm doing around 5 miles in an hour which isn't fast its not too slow either! You should check it out Cotty.
Desperately trying to get below 11st again too - somehow the equation of running so I can eat naughty things doesn't quite work! lol
My first 10k took me 63 mins 52 secs so ur doing fine, and I was no where near the back of the course, so don't worry.
Last 10k I did was 58min something and hoping to beat it on Sunday, only by a few secs prob but getting quicker every time and that's all that matters.
TT ;0)
I'm sure I'm over-exaggerating it, but I'm running with my sister-in-law, and I know she's going to leave me for dust at least! She has longer legs, so I don't mind about that - lol!
I was another two stone heavier, but I managed to lose three through Weightwatchers - I decided not to go back to WW, but to be generally sensible and relax a bit. I've put a stone back on, and have been at the same weight for ages so it's not all bad news. Just got to up the running a bit, and try not to snack so much!!
Trying to get to 10st, but slowly and hopefully well toned 10 st.
Got my name from a book of my daughter's called Molly's Hair. Just happened to be on the shelf next to computer when I was looking for a name for a website many moons ago and it's stuck.

I am really p***d off with it though, can't seem to move it at all, don't think I am actually in the mood to do anything about it yet either. Still running sort of, had planned to do a half in October, but did not do my long run at weekend, only managed 4 and gave not run since then and as Hubby did not get me up this morning have missed my slot for today as well. Had hoped to train normally this week and then do 10 on Saturday but I really think I am kidding myself on. It would not be so bad but I am so fed up about it. Kids are another problem, youngest who is 2 on Friday does not go to bed until between 9 and 10, we can't just put her down to cry as she is sharing room with her older sister until we get the house sorted. I feel like my backside is stuck to the sofa in the eveing as all she wants to do is jump over the top of me. Kids does anyone want 2 girls, any takers?!?!
Oh well that is me vented my frustration!! Glad so many of you are doing well though.
I got one of these see yourself slimmer photos I have it on my fridge it is fantastic - however as I am too embarrased to put the real me on the fridge beside it, I think I have started to imagine myself actually being the slimmer me if you know what I mean?!? 9 stone 13 is what I would like to be I don't think I have been that weight since I was about 11.
Have a good day everyone!

I have noticed that if I run more, and generally have a healthier lifestyle, I tend to eat better - so that's my gameplan. Would love a pic on the fridge to stop me from nibbling though - or perhaps on the biscuit tin!!
Maybe its the wine!!....
The website is www.seeyourselfslimmer.co.uk
Sorry I can't do links.
Ginger with me its definately the wine and the munchies that go with it. Although I am making an effort not to drink, seems to be easier said than done, although quite like alcohol free Becks!
I really got to do something because really my diet is very good, low GI and lowish fat.
OK I'll just pull my big girl panties on and do this!!

That's my excuse for the drinking post errors too and I'm sticking to it, LOL.

Got some new jogging pants from next, SIZE 12, and two pairs of trousers for my adrenaline weekend in October, SIZE 12. They all fit, would like to lose maybe half a stone b4 weekend in Oct, cos trousers would look even better loose rather than just fitting. So got an incentive to knuckle down and keep away from the crisps.
Please note that I am a pear shape, small waist BIG ar$e, so size 12 on my bottom half is a major achievement. Think I was in my teens last time i had a size 12 trousers on.

Plus it's the first time my friend and I have crossed the finish line together so that was quite nice.

Still no sign of Marion I see - have you become one of those RFL runners.....Marion are you there?!?!
Good luck on Sat Ginger!
Cotty - know what u mean about childminding, I love my job and have been really lucky, only had one nutter in six years of childminding. But it's not all nicey nice being at home with your kids like people think it might be. Your kids have to share you with lots of other children which has it's own probs. You can't just take days off for your kids hospital appointments etc cos five other people then have to take the day off, my hubby ends up doing things like that and I always feel guilty for not being with my daughter on those type of things. You work most bank holidays and if ur lucky you get 3 to 4 weeks off a year, but you've got to try and take it at a time that it causes least disruption to everyone else.
But on the other hand you can become part of many peoples families and they make you feel appreciated for everything that you do for them. And you meet some lovely kids.

Glad I run now think it was only thing that kept me sane last week even though I wasn't running a lot last week cos of race. Been out twice since sunday and goin out 2moro. Really looking forward to my long run on Sat too, missed not having it last week.
Got one of those water backpacks too and can't wait to try it out. They are selling them in argos for £14.99 which is a lot cheaper than the running shops, so thought it was worth a try. Not good at carrying bottles and tried the belt thing and it was useless.
