My best run to date was Tuesday week ago when I ran 33 mins without stopping and felt fabulous but then I didn't get out again until last Sunday and only managed 17 minutes before I had to walk then ran/walked all the way home. Felt very disappointed and that combined with the c**p weather has kept me off the roads. My race for life is on 18th June and I'm seriously thinking of just walking the lot.
I know I sound defeatist but I've had a horrible week and just need a good run to get me back on track with the running at least.Sorry for being a moaning minny.

I'm feeling better- got to the point where i can't be bothered anymore- i'm so bored. My life centres around revision and food at the moment. Just walking to the shops for milk is exciting. still this time in two weeks and it will all be over!!!!
whats the job?
when are you going out running again?
Congrats to the both of you for taking a step into the right direction to a healthier lifestyle. I took up running this time last year and could only run for 15 minutes. I have now completed FLM 2003 and came 21st out of 2000 people in a 10k race last week - everyone go's through bad stages, I went through one for three months and yes it's a nightmare but keep it up and I garuntee you will be hooked on this running lark.
Good luck in the race for life, I'll be doing it too.
Chick is right. When she gets home we are ALL going to meet up and do some training runs together. You are not in it alone, we are a team. The team that trains together stays together! Country Girl that includes you as well!
Below is a quote I found on another web site which I think applies to us all.
"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."
—Thomas Alva Edison
Keep running, keep positive!
I am meeting up with Fit Chick next week for a training run ( it's half term and I'm not at school) can't meet with you all the week after, but will see you at Ferry Meadows on the 18th.
Looking foward to it.
Keep your spirits up.
Fit chick that is a great quote.
Chick hope your feeling better

Chick, the job is crime analysis, something that's always fascinated me. I'm about 80 percent qualified for it but it's full time and I have two little 'uns to think about. ho hum what to do. Mind you there'll probably be so many go for it that worrying is academic!
I've been running for just over a year now and trust me, even more experienced runners have off days. Last night I really struggled with a route I can normally run easily. All sorts of factors affect whether you have a good run or not: the weather, your mood, how tired you are, hormones, how hard your last run was ...
Don't give up: once you become hooked you wonder how you lived without running. Seriously, since I became a runner I've noticed an increase in my self-confidence, I generally have more energy, I have a fit, toned body which I'm happy with, I feel more positive about any problems I have to deal with and I can eat whatever I like without putting on an ounce!
Go for the job! If you don't you will always be wondering about it and whether it was right for you. I am also on the look out for another job, only problems is I don't know quite what I want!.
