Hi Snowgoon, what a nice and cooling name! I started on the 30sec run/walk in April and am now up to running for 8 minutes so it definitely works! Welcome to INSPIRE :-)
Washing now out and strong breeze starting to blow through!
thanks for the good wishes guys off to pack a bag in a mo!! apparently we shower and go off to the pub afterwards - very jolly I must say. just found out that quite a few are racing tonight so members numbers will be reduced but perhaps for me not such a bad thing!! less names to remember all at once - unlike like this thread!
ps am I em or emma? or ems or emi - too confusing perhaps I'll try a new name - never had a nickname at school and always wanted one!!
Joining a club was definitely the best thing I could have done to help my running. I was absolutely petrified on my first night (I went on my own as well) & was so worried about everything.
I'm off out soon, but if I don't post now, I'll have an even longer post to write tomorrow.
Welcome Snowgoon. Well done on your weight loss so far and good luck with the run walk schedule.
Good luck Morgs and Vicky tonight - might join you both in the Nissan 10k - I have the application at home. We might be able to meet up afterwards - if you're prepared to hang about for me
Stu - why don't people email you designs and we could maybe vote on which ones we like best - then anyone who wants to can have a go?
Snowgoon, the jog Scotland thing looks really good. It's sweeping the country isn't it?
Allie. I'm easy on the run route. Either early Saturday morning (7ish) or monday later morning/lunchtime would be good. I am staying out of town at the Novotel, and I have never been to Newcastle so no ideas. An easyish 3 miles would be ideal. Need energy for shopping, and cheering!!!
It's my night off running tonight but I'll be doing some of that tidying and ironing cross-training and then I'm going to get up at 6 tomorrow to get out before the heat kicks in. I wouldn't mind a run in the rain if it so desires!!
Come on the rain!
These t-shirt ideas are brilliant! I love the little beetroot man. It looks like ME .... without my curly hair, of course!!! And no I don't look in the mirror when I get home, I can just feel myself lighting up the neighbourhood!
Em - you're a lucky dab! You're getting to meet everyone! Wish I could be there girls! Definitely thinking about popping in for a cuppa on the way to Wales.
Morgs - gimme a shout if you see me tonight - blond hair, flourescent shorts, number 104
I've been drinking water all day in the hopes of staying relatively hydrated through the race, though all that's happened so far are frequent visits to the loo :S
OTH - Winscombe, 'bout 3 miles from Cheddar, 10ish from Weston-Super-Mud. Despite being on the edge of the Mendips, I've found somewhere dead level to run as I'm not up to hills yet, but I live (and run) in hope!
All you wilting people out there, the temp on my garden thermometer has dropped 13 celcius in the last 90 mins, the wind's getting up and cooler weather from the west should soon be heading your way!!
Done it, just entrered on-line - Swansea 5K August 8th - it will be my first race in nearly 3 years! My last 5K was March 28th 1998 as organised for the Dallas Fire department - I know cause I'm wearing the T shirt now.
yep...getting some strong breezes in off the Severn now, thankyou for sharing...having fun watching my neighbours half finished roof flapping about. (hee hee)
Siân!!! You must call in and see me, I would love it!!! I'm on a roll here!! You must pass very near, we could meet at my gym for a coffee, which is in Chepstow (St.Pierre Golf Club) or you could take a small detour for a run in the forest? We'll make sure OTH is off work that day too.
(It has been said that I get about a bit...in the nicest way of course!)
Anyone on the Isle of Man??? We're off there in August...
Mij, the clicky mouse thing not good for the nerves. Entered 10k at Badminton earlier this week - it's just toooooo easy to enter on-line, I think there should be a health warning.
Bloomin' hec! I only went to work, the thread has doubled in size!
No running for me tonight, it's just too hot! Is 50 lengths of the pool a reasonable substitute?! I figure it's better than nothing! I did the same last night because running in this heat just makes me feel ill!
Will try! Still waiting for it to cool down up 'ere! I'm going to Somerset to stay with my parents for a week so I'm pretty sure the weather will change by then! Soon as I get to the coast the temperature falls!!
Comments
Emma (not to be confused with Em), good luck in your race tonight. Which one is it?
Mistym. - opposite end of the country here NE, but my husband is from Bristol if that counts
Emmilou - good luck at the running club, my running came on in leaps and bounds when I joined up.

Err... is it a bit cheeky if I take a stab at the INSPIRE graphic (I do a little design stuff)... if so, what's your email?
My email is stuart_rayner@hotmail.com
Not sure if it is enabled in my profile here. Must check...
Qwerty ... which village do you live in?

Big Hello to all!
Vicky T what a fantastic story. Much
respect to you.
Am also doing Sunderland 5k tonight (I think its gonna be a hot one) & I put my entry form for the Nissan 10k in the postbox this afty.
Allie I think I'm gonna do the Jelly Tee as its perfect for my GNR training.
Any ideas of where/when everyone is to meet up for drinks over GNR weekend?

I just wish I had done it sooner!
Welcome to fellow newbies and my thoughts with those with injuries (recovering myself).
I do love the sun, but 36 degrees is plain ridiculous!
Have a good afternoon/evening!
