Hi All, just a quick check in to say that I went for another run this evening. Again, just a short one but I'm just focussing on getting out the door at the moment! So that's a start! I did the same route round the block, just 2.16K but a bit quicke…
Hi Everyone! Remember me? Just a quickie to let you know that I've just been for a run!!!! First one in AGES! Went out the door aiming to run for 5 mins before having a walk break, but managed 8mins, then 2 mins walk, then 5 mins. Did 2.16K in 15min…
Hi Everyone! Hope you are all doing ok! Sorry for ignoring you for so long! I haven't run since Centerparcs and have been rubbish but I am trying to psyche myself up to start again. You know how it is, when you've left it a while it puts you off goi…
Hi All,
First of all, welcome to the thread, Ma’amy, Sparklestar and FlightyRachel! Good luck with your programs, and stick with it even if you have bad days / weeks because you progress so quickly. I remember once I got past running 5 mins con…
Allright, allright everyone! I went for a run yesterday morning, you'll be pleased to know! Did 4K around Centreparcs and it wasn't too bad at all actually! Had a couple of walk breaks, but was pleased overall. Gonna try to do another while we are h…
Hi all!
Long time no post! Sorry for my absence, I have been avoiding as am a bit ashamed.
I have, in a word, been crap! Haven’t run for at least 3 weeks now I think. I’ve just let it slip and now I think I’m worried that when I do go I will b…
Hi Everyone! Happy New Year to you all! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a nice, relaxed one at mum and dad’s with various family. The kids really enjoyed themselves though they seem to show absolutely no interest in the whole Father Chri…
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to say hope you are all having a lovely day. I've been rubbish and haven't run since the Buxton 5K , so sorry for my absence, but I will be back this week! Has been crazy finishing off Christmas present projects for the kid…
Hi All,
well I did my first official race! Well a fun run actually, but it’s a start! All went ok, but a bit slow, 38mins I think. It felt hard too, think it was because it was mostly off road on muddyish paths and I’m much better on pavement and …
Hi Everyone, you might have noticed that I have also changed my name to reflect my special pre-race diet. I have to say that it was a hard choice between that and Mintytwotops!
Has it really been a week since my last post??! That’s soo slack! It …
Hi Roadrunner, funny you should ask about the new top. I went out first thing this morning for a run, but just felt awful and had to give up and come home. Not sure whether it was tiredness (daughter not sleeping well), dehydration, hunger or low gr…
Hi guys,
How are your nipples Iain? Sounds painful!
Yeah I was thinking about aiming for a 10K next year, so that sounds a possibility! Nice and local too. Infact that's Norfolklass' territory so maybe we could get her to come along too? And yes…

Roadrunner, sorry to hear that your knee is still playing up. Must be so frustrating. And re the poor guy who tragically died in the half marathon – the same thing happened to a girl I knew. She was in her twenties, very fit and very…
Evening all,
Here I am again as promised! Time for a proper catch up now!
Well, as I said, I had a lovely time at Centreparcs. Lots of messing around in the pool with the kids, and touring the various playgrounds, inside and out. Lots of cups …
Well done Norfolklass! Really good time too, sorry I couldn't be there to cheer you on, but I was thinking of you whilst we scoffed our posh brunch fry-up! So sad about the poor 25 year old man. Must be such a shock for his family.
Had a lovely ti…
Hi guys, (typing for the second time as deleted it AGAIN! Will I ever learn!)
Just got back from doing my second 5K and did it in 36.50 so a few mins quicker than last time (40.05), due to the fact that I only had one walk break and went faster …
Roadrunner - thanks for that, it looks great! Will be interested to hear how you get on with it, I think maybe this would be enough for me, the Garmins probably do a lot more than I need. I think I just want pace, distance and time.
Hope the niggl…
Hi everyone,
Yay! Just ran 15mins x 2, and apparently according to my new favourite website, mapmyrun, it was 4.08K. Not very fast, but just glad I’m back to where I was before the sickness started!
Cheetah, it’s OK, you can come and talk to …
Hi everyone, so sorry for neglecting you all! Guess what? Yes, we've all been ill again, stinking colds this time, maybe even manflu??! The kids have had temperatures and not been sleeping well at all, and waking up all evening, and I haven't felt u…
Hi All,
Well I won’t go into the boring long list of excuses, but I haven’t been out for a week (lets just blame the kids)! Went to the caravan but didn’t make it out for a run. Then was decorating bedroom all weekend and evenings since.
Anywa…
