**Isis** · 5th October, 2008

Well done hun...xxxx

Debbiemac · 5th October, 2008

Very happy yes

I've just gone online and checked my time - I was apparently 35221st (so at least 15000 more people behind me

) and finished in 3hrs 3mins.

Now that may seem a trifle slow when most people I know seem to do 2hrs and a bit...(OH did 2hrs 14

) but I basically fast walked 85% today. My training has been a bit hit and miss, so too match the time from last year - when I did do mostly jogging! - I am impressed with myself!

Although my mother laughed at me when i hobbled back into the house half an hour ago! gonna go run a hot bath methinks.

Many thanks to everyone that supported us, especially those that kept me going with "go debs" text through the day - trust me, they helped heaps!!

so next year, whose gonna keep me company... It'd be nice to have someone to chat with!

Well done, at least you can chill out from the training now, my running days are over, i did the Berlin 25km and a half marathon in my younger days when i was 21, im 42 next week so it was over half a lifetime ago, im built for comfort not speed

You have to do it!! Its brilliant fun, such a good atmosphere. And 2.5hrs... you'll do that easily! I just saw your username and you're a fitness instructor

I wish I could get a PT up here.... rural villages aren't exactly flooded with options

I need to NOT stop the 'training' over the winter and I might have a chance of running at least 70% next year... yes, I've already said I'll join the team again... 3rd time lucky for getting under 3hrs I reckon

Debbie.. you did great... Its such a fun day isnt it... London Marathon next?

err, too hardcore for me!!
we are looking at doing some other races next year... apparently... My OH thinks I need a challenge to keep me going

mindless · 6th October, 2008

everyone needs a challenge eh?

great to meet you and OH over the weekend - thanks for semi-adopting me (a stray is never a good thing eh?)

great bus journey back to drop off point eh?

3 hrs 20mins or so to do 15 miles - I got home (169 miles) in less time thanks to kind constabulary of various counties having better things to do than check for rapid but sore runners in cars.

I just checked my time and you can let OH know his runners timepiece is a thing of precision as it was spot on - 2hrs 22mins 51 secs. I'll be after him next time - those 8 mins are easy meat LOL

seriously though - great day - frostbite and suntan at same time - and the HILLS!!!!!!!!! made fantastic by the good company. Hope you enjoyed your very healthy food on return to Hartlepool - I know I did ;-)

Running is not one of my strong points, i do enough just to get through my training...but i am doing it for a special little girl...that should spur me on
