Thanks Piste for the thread and the wine.
I finally got to 5k on the old thread! Hurray! I would like to improve my time on the new thread. Maybe to 30m by tht end of the thread, though that may be ambitious.
I've loved our old thread and my virtual running buddies. Look forward to running with you all over the summer

Thanks for the new thread piste. I stupidly just posted on the old thread, it's quite ironic as I was posting about how much of a techno phobe I am

Hello from the sandpit
W5R1 tomorrow and arrrgggh doing a 5k race next Friday! DH and I are running together and will take turns pushing DS in his pram...hoping DH will do most of the pushing tho 
Not expecting to run the whole route but it'll be good practice nonetheless.
Can't keep up with all the post/runners now but well done and CHEERS for the vino Piste!
PS - Double tena lady on last run and no - phew

Bit early for a vino this morning having a 
instead. Off out tonight though so will have the odd or two.
Currently buff hunting for the perfect one to wear both casual (I have a mild scarf obsession) and running. Still v pleased with myself for last nights effort especially now there's no more walking, feeling like a hardcore runner.

Another DISMAL day here and so I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to run later. W2run3 for me. I fully admit I am a fair-to-middling-weather player - I DO NOT want to be out in gloomy rain!
Really encouraging to read about people who've done the big runs

Morning all! I had what felt like a really bad run this morning - I was tired, it was dark and I couldn't got going (this is the worst time of the year at work, so I have been coming home, having a couple of and not sleeping for the last couple of weeks). Now that the sun is up it's a lovely day - the early morning light here is fantastic. I mapped my route and it was 5k, including warm up and cool down so not as bad as I thought .
Justa - was it you posting about playing your ipod at double speed on the old thread? I had to laugh, as I did that with an Archers podcast the other day and could not understand why they all sounded so weird .
Hope your race goes well dubai!
WELL DONE EVERYONE, we're all doing so well

Well the sun came out so I DID IT. The park was bathed in sunshine though there are some threatening clouds now. Despite a break of 6 days (eek) I found it challenging but ok. I'm on to week 3 on Saturday and can't wait.
Someone said on the last thread that when they didn't run they felt like they hadn't done their homework and I know that feeling precisely. I've done my essay now and feel great

Hello everyone, thanks for starting the new thread piste. Will report back to NetballHQ tomorrow after W2R1 - am tempted to do W1 again just in case I can't run 60secs, walk 60 secs, but that would be wussing out wouldn't it?
Think I will just have to give it a go and see how it goes ...
Oooh a 
, Happy St. Patrick's Day - maybe I need some Guinness to build my strength up .

Yay! Hello everyone on the new thread and well done Piste for being brave enough to get the new thread going.
Yummy vino!
Still haven't run but am keen to get out tonight to try the 5k that I'll be timed on, on saturday.
Sybil - Well done on the supporting role. I'm trying to coax two friends to do the plan as they both want to but are in that 'no way can I run 5k' mode that I was in before I finally thought 'well, I may as well give it a go'.
I think I may have to offer to get off my bum and run with them.
Cubscout - I know, I didn't buy the mag, it was given to me by one of my running friends.
Berri - I think this mag has advice for if you're achey, I'll have a look and give you the headlines if there are any.
Ladies what happens when we can do 5k in 30mins? Is that the point at which we begin the bridge? What do you think?
Incidently, I've run a few times without music, it's OK as I like hearing myself breathe (although sometimes I wish I'd do it a little more quietly) but I like hearing Laura's voice. Might take Rawbert out if I make it out tonight. Should be ... amusing?

Happy new thread - Week 5 Run 2 to do tonight. I had a lovely little routine going - went out at 6am every other day, but DH has just started doing two days work (normally SAHD) starting at 6am so my routine has got to pot. I've been out in the evening but the beach is really busy with "real" runners . Was supposed to go out this morning but have been sidetracked by an excel spreadsheet and MN!
