Looks like you've got unfinished business with FLM....
so glad to hear you're ok.
flipper, i will complete it! got to for my own piece of mind
tweety - thank you- touched
I have a funny feeling we will be back same time, same place next year (only don't tell my husband, he was rumoured to have said 'Thank God thats all over'). I want another go at it, it really was amazing.
I feel sort of sad today, I look on you all as new friends, and its sad that is all over. I really hope we can keep in touch, and I will definitely be keeping up the running through the summer, thinking about the South Downs in June next. Anyone up for it??!!
Off for a well deserved massage tonight, and them who knows, a run on Sunday.
Not sure if I will be back same time same place. Have to wait until all the pain has left my legs and I can run in comfort.
Thanks for all support over the past few weeks. Good luck with all your future running challenges.
i won't be running next year but i will volunteer again for macmillan as i have in the past. i will cheer you across that finish line rich!
In addition you've raised an enormous amount of money which will make a BIG difference to the lives of so many people affected by cancer. Eventually your disappointment will fade - but the positive impact you've made on the lives of others will live on forever. See you on the start line next year!
Well done on getting your blackbelt - you are obviously one superfit guy.
Had my massage last night - walking on air again and cant wait to get out and 'run forrest run!'
Im going to have a break from running for a little while - need to let everything get back to normal and be fully rested - looking forward to doing a bit of tae kwon do again
Ill still be on this forum though as straycelt said it becomes part of your day
PS - Loved the photos strycelt - brilliant costumes!
i'll still be on here as well. it has definitely become a bit of a blog thing for us and it is nice to keep in contact. it's wierd how you come to almost know people without ever meeting them.
am nearly at my total which i am so pleased with. couple of big cheques from consultants at work yesterday with the exception of my boss (hmmm.) my dad's boss was so impressed that i came through sunday unscathed, he has given me another £100!
i think if i'm ever feeling down, i shall look at your photos straycelt.
anyway, must be off to work now. have been at home this morning as mini tweety had home visit from local nursery nurse. she got a certificate for being a good girl all morning at playschool yesterday :-)
Hope everybody is recovering from their exertions.
I went for a very slow 2 miles on Tuesday & am planning 4.5 miles tonight. Got to get back on the running trail again as I have entered the Keswick 1/2 a week on Sunday. As you can imagine, not the flattest of courses.
It is true, us runners are mad !!!!
if anyone wants a free copy of this (hubby will send via work) please email me with your address. the shop at work have given me nearly all their copies as apparently hardly anyone takes the supplements so they are up for grabs!
i have volunteered you for the relay team debs; hope you don't mind. forumite that organises it (very well i might add) is brooks the beast.
hope everyone is feeling slightly more normal (esp. rich)
enjoy the first weekend in ages everyone!
I think they were all a bit amazed 'cos I hadn't actually told them I was doing the marathon and everybody dug deep in their pockets for our excellent cause.
I'm feeling so proud of myself now!!
Pleased everybody else feeling good and looking forward to new challenges - good luck to you all.
I'm obviously still a bit derranged 'cos I saw a 20 mile trail run in Wiltshire next month and thought "that looks fun!"
Great night tonight at local, who were great at fundraising last two weeks. Looking to enter a couple of 10k's next couple of months and will register for Llanelli this weekend. Great, fast, friendly race and not too punishing.
Job front looking up and have decided interim work is the way ahead this year. Keep you all posted.
I think it's just that they are both addicitive activites which are great 'cos you can set your own goals. You get a great sense of achievement and have the benefit of the support of those around you but don't have to be compared to them - everyone can achieve at their own level.
Many, many congrats on your BB - how you did that and the marathon in a few days is incredible. Black belt is my target for the whole of the next year and I am sure I won't be trying to run a marathon at the same time!
Well done again
Went training this morning with legs like lead...might take a bit of tie to recover, more than first thought. Just entered Llanelli 10k so working out realistic target for that one. This race usually supports Macmillan too so another good reason for doing. Will see what else is around throughout today and plug in some more fun
i made my fundraising total today!!!
back on the wagon today. after full english on saturday and mcdonalds breakfast sunday, i weighed myself this morning. uh oh...
how are you rich? and everyone else?
I too have had to check my eating, but I have allowed my drinking to go uncontrolled for the first time in months!!
Am going to resume running this week. Should, in theory, find it easy but I bet I don't.
A few leads to follo so quite hopeful. Running buddy has entered us in Amsterdam so goal for October is currently pb there. Mens san in corpore sano etc so will start running again this week. Glad to have another running goal as well as personal objective employmentwise. Must admit, mentally want to run but still feel a bit sluggish after last week. Nice to know not the only one who overindulged at weekend. Great fun doing it guilt free tho!
