When I got my new running shoes I was told they were good for 500 miles. Now that I've run 6 miles in them that leaves another 494 miles to run before I buy a new pair! :giggle:

Wow well done! X
Ooh can I join? I don't have a goal other than a healthy heart! I started running about 4wks ago and try and manage 1 or 2 a week along with circuits once or twice a week too.
My running pace is just under 10min miles as an average but I ran with the lads from work on this 5km time trial and I really didn't want to be overtaken and did it in 26.39 mins. Was dead chuffed as that averaged 8.30 something min/miles I think BUT i felt physically sick.......and that lasted all day, ha ha. Teach me to think i can keep up with the boys. They all did it in 20 and 22minutes anyway!!!! They're all like whippets.
So off for a run with my friend in a bit who usually runs 11-12min miles, so nice leasurely run for me. Enjoy these ones! x

4km in 31 minutes tonight. Not bad! Wish I'd done the 5k but really wanted to have a nice bath before the other half gets back from golf and insider realise I'd done 4 in that time till i checked map my run! Pretty happy right now x
Hi all can I join in?
I too am running the great north run in September
I am running 4 days a week and did my first 5 mile run today (11 weeks ago I struggled to run for 60 seconds !)
My average pace is 13.10 mins per mile, im hoping to speed up but as long as I run the whole distance im not worried too much by the speed.
I am running the Olympic anniversary run on july 21st too which is 5 miles around the Olympic Park finishing on the Olympic track finish line in the stadium which will be an amazing experience
I run on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday so will update on those days x

5km done this morning in 50 mins due to the fact i had my three year old nephew in the buggy so I could t really concentrate on times as whenever we went past a duck we had to stop and say hello x

Well done everyone! I really need to get myself sorted and start running again although at the moment I'm concentrating on catching up at work and sticking to 100%
