You all did BRILLIANTLY on you runs this weekend! I almost felt part of the Sports Mile on Sat. We took the train up to London from my in-laws and everybody seemed to be wearing one red sock. Took me ages to figure out what was going on! D'oh!
Did an early morning 2 miler on Saturday and a yoga workshop yesterday with my mother in law (who does the most impossible headstand!!!). I met the most amazing woman at the yoga workshop yesterday. She's done 26 marathons and says that she runs for her head not her body. Mind you, she has a fantastic body so I guess running benefits both.
Long run today 3.5 miler (well long for me anyway!).
Haven't been over to new thread yet. Will post my bio this afternoon after the boss goes out...ha ha ha!
I thought I had better make doing my Intro a priority so have now used up my computer time really. Got to go and turn 6lbs of blackcurrants and gooseberries from the garden into jams, jellies and cordials, then I am going to turn the Aga off and we can all get cool again. It is just salads and barbecuing from now on!
Very moving reading all the intros, what lovely people run.
Have a great day all. I hope to chat later.
Misty - your 'new' post was also amazing. Is Mr Misty going to join us?
Enjoy your run today UKY. It sounds like you had a good weekend.
Well run Mykey. I know it's tempting to do more, but you're doing the right thing by sticking to the programme.
Lovely post on the new forum LE (as is everyone else's), but yours has tipped me over the edge. My eyes are blurring over...
well written. well done.
I've mailed Morgs from Sunderland and have asked if she wants to run the Jelly Tea run as part of her GNR training.
Really great to see loads of new people already.
Allie - good luck for tonight - it is going to be a hot one for you.
Hubby and I have drunk so much water since running yesterday, we hope there is some left for the rest of the country.
It's a pity I won't be able to stop and take pictures for you, it's a beautiful setting with a river running through it and a couple of small waterfalls.
Well it's hot here and it's steadily sapping my will to work...soooo glad I'm not running this lunchtime. I'm already thinking that my planned run at lunch on Thu may need to be deferred until later in the day. Tomorrow will need to be an early morning run.
There are some enthusiasts partaking of lunchtime circuits here..they have moved out of the gym onto the grass outside. Looks b****y hard work!
In the process of packing for the trip to Wales this evening. I just wish I didn't have to go through these next couple of days but I'm not being down hearted as I can't afford to be amongst such wonderful and couragous friends!!
Maybe they have been reading our pages and we have inspired them to inspire others, although most runners are good at that anyway.
You will have to go out again another time Allie and take the pics.
36C in the farmyard this afternoon! Thankfully, no humidity.
I remember reading a book by Richard Bach called 'there's no such place as far away'.
The gist of it is that 'when you really love someone, you are always with them' (and I suppose they are always with you).
I think my auntie is with me and I think of her when I run.
Nice post LE- Really moving. You and your husband should be the poster couple for Running Keeps You Young!
14/15th Oct. Possibly we could meet up and go for a run? Maybe along with kwilter as well. However you'd have to go slowly so the 'old man' could keep up!
Mykey - that sounds like a good idea for you and Dan.
Any INSPIRE members passing through Newcastle or Hexham in the near future?
Listen to that old man Mykey.....
I'm looking at a 10k Love Run in February 07 - a multi-terrain affair, but a flat course in Newcastle.
What do I do if there is snow?
Hard to think about snow in this weather though...
Mykey - there is a 5k in Portsmouth on 9th August. It is called the Promenade 5k. Also on Octber 1st there is a 10k/5k called the Alton Dowland Challenge.
We don't have the snow problem down here Allie. Can just picture Allie on tennis rackets lol.
