That is an awesome job! That was definately not an easy thing to accomplish in such a short time.
You are a success story on how to turn you life around. Way to go! |

Nev,
Congrats on your accomplishments! Your change in lifestyle is to be applauded, particularly when you consider that cutie-pie in your avatar (no, not you...the little girl  )! Keep it up, man!
Looking forward to hearing more great things from your side of the pond,

That's terrific, Nev!
Isn't it great to get that feeling when you reach a milestone?
I know what you mean about the wider world having no scale of reference to judge your achievement by; if I told my wife I finished a 10k in 30 minutes or 50 minutes or 70 minutes the reaction would be the same, "That's nice, dear!".
That's why you need us, we understand!
Simon. |

Thank you all again I just knew that you lot would understand what a buz you get when you reach a mile stone.
My next milestone is fast approaching - I am due to run the silverstone half marathon on Sunday (9th March). Should be good fun if the weather is ok.
I must admit that although I have nealy run a half in training several times I am a little scared. I dont know what of , probably starting too fast and falling apart towards the end !!
I will finish in under 2 hours if it kills me but I would dearly love to finish under 1hr 50.
Anyway that is enough about me - lets hear some of your achievements who else has done something that makes them smile non stop all day ?
Stay safe

Nev - you should break 2 hours easypeasy on that HM.
No kidding about non runners not understanding. My friends didnt understand why I needed to RECOVER from my marathon last year...after all I had trained for it. |

Ennay,
I am glad to be able to report that you were correct I ran 1hr 50min 10 sec. It was the hardest run I have had so far and I now have even more admiration for those who have completed a full marathon.
I am sure the course markers were wrong as the milefrom 11 to 12 felt like at least 2 miles !!
Thanks to all of you for your support.
Enjoy your running
Nev |
