    Diet: Don't diet anymore!

    Great South Run 2006 Thread

    This is for all those mad fools that agreed we would do this!!

    It is now only 4 weeks and got a mail from them yesterday saying I should be able to easily run 6 miles now.

    Therefore I am about to get on my treadmill that I bought 4 years ago and do a 6 mile run.

    If I am not back on here by 10pm can someone call an ambulance and send it straight to Great Yarmouth!!

    Ha Ha Ha....I have decided to back out!

    Training was going well BUT as a lot of you know I am expecting (17 weeks now). It would not be a problem but I simply can't run at the moment (sorry Mike if this is too much info for you) as my boobs hurt like anything - even if I am just sat down or walking!!! I thought about walking it - but decided I would rather wait & do it at some other time - properly!

    Good luck to you all.

    How far in miles is 7km?? Well done by the way!

    I managed a 5 miler on Friday - set off for an hour to see how far i could get running / walking in that time - was totally staggered when i managed to run for the whole hour and my steppy thing said 5 miles!!

    I didn't get an email from them

    OOh whilst tripping the light fantastic and strutting my stuff last night I am now hobbling a good un with sore knees. I thought my "twist" was very endearing, and was impressed with how low I could get! Think my poor joints have thought different! I'll do a gentle one 2morrow and see how they are.

    I got off the treadmill and Ethan had left his match magazine on the floor and I went flying on it.

    All I keep thinking is that it is only 10 miles and I could just walk slowly. If it was 26 miles I would give it up as a bad job.

    Good luck Icemoose… A good knee support should help…along with max strength Nurofen… You can do it…

    I have just entered the Marathon des Sables 2009… paid my £500 deposit and now have to spend two years training…

    All the best.. enjoy the day.

    Running in wellies!

    Ohh, bless them! The Great South Run is this morning and it has been bucketing it down all the time!
    I suppose at least they won't over heat.

    Hope they didn't get to cold waiting for the start whistle.

    Can't wait to hear how you guys got on! Hats off to you all!
