Guys I am so proud of you all for your losses so far, big or small! It all adds up I was just thinking a few hours ago... It's probably gonna be hard for me to get these last pounds off so I'm considering doing a run, in hope that the training will help me tone up. Will probably try to raise money for the hospice my dad was meant to go to when he passed away, so I want to do a good job and train hard, run it in a decent time. When my sister did a run a few years ago, she got this pack with a training regime for the ten weeks leading up to the run. I think I'm gonna try and follow it, I need to increase my stamina anyway so it should help

Does anyone have any tips? Anyone done a run while trying to lose weight? Did it help? Anyone thinking of doing one this year? Or would you wait till you're at target? Anyone think it's a bad idea for me to do this? All comments, tips, encouragement welcome!

as for the run, i think it's a great idea, just be aware that you'll prob also build muscle, which can add, but it's a good addition

Sorry! Did it on the MiniMins app and it doesn't pick up the colours Is that the same for all app users or is it just my cranky old 1st gen iPod touch that doesn't cooperate?

Mmm, yeah, adding weigh by gaining muscle is really the only thing holding me back. I Googled 'bupa great run 2011' last night after posting here and turns out I missed the entry deadline... by ONE day .. No, doesn't even begin to cover it! I've registered interest for Race For Life 2011 instead... But I feel a bit disappointed

Ali sorry you missed the deadline for run you preferred but Race for Life is just as an important cause. Well done you for taking this decision. It's something I've been thinking about too. In fact I opened another browser and registered my interest - so thank you for giving me the push (although I'll be walking, mayby jogging by then ... not running!).

Yay! I love it when you post cause I love the shoe in your avatar <3 xxx

Ali sorry you missed the deadline for run you preferred but Race for Life is just as an important cause. Well done you for taking this decision. It's something I've been thinking about too. In fact I opened another browser and registered my interest - so thank you for giving me the push (although I'll be walking, mayby jogging by then ... not running!).

I did RFL a couple of years ago, was going to walk it with my mum and sis but decided at the last minute to try my hand at jogging it! Thought I did quite well until I was about 500m from the finish line and my sister rang me asking if I was done yet cause they were done and waiting for me Admittedly I didn't jog all the way, and I started 5mins before them, but I did have to stop for the loo and was atleast 10mins in the queue...

Cancer Research is such a worthy cause - I can't think of another charity that touches so many people so deeply. Does all money raised in RFL goes to CR? It's not that I don't want to donate any sponsorships to them, it's just that the idea of giving to St Ann's Hospice on behalf of my dad was what made me want to do a run. He died from cancer too, it'll be two months on the 8th. He was due to be moved to the hospice that day, but passed away in the hospital at 2:15am. Two days before, he'd asked me if that was where he was going, and to donate 10% of any company earnings to them if he was. Though he never made it there, I asked my brother-in-law if I should still go ahead and donate to them or if I should pass it on to The Christie Hospital instead, as that's where he had his chemotherapy. Sis and BIL had been to see the hospice a few days earlier, and though he went there with a closed mind, not understanding why there was a set place someone should go to die, he walked out feeling overwhelmed by the help they provided for people who couldn't be helped in any other way. So regular donations are going out to them, but I just wanted to do something from me, off my own back... RFL it is

I feel happy that I provided you with the push! Will you be doing any training, even if you just walk it? xxx

 

[kirstabubble]

I think the adrenalin really helps when you're running it...I did very little training for RFL last year and did it in 38 mins which I was really proud of. Am going to do a half marathon at some point, just need to find one near me!

And Ali, those shoes will be MINE when I hit target, fear not! xxx
