I, having only started running just over a yr ago frm a fitness level of nothing, have signed up to the great north run (and a couple of 10k'sbetween now and then). Did 8 k in the smaller of the two parks I run in today thinking it would be quieter, there was a bloody funfair going on and the student population of Leeds was sunning themselves..... The strong smell of pot was an interesting one to be gasping in in a breathless fashion as I ran past them!!

Well done golem! Blue skies all day today! I have a 10 miler in 2 weeks and pondering marathon... Did 7 miles today as my lovely mum babysat:) was lovely and could have kept going but wine was waiting...

Yay! Well started!

I went out on a lovely run in the hills this morning. Little over 13km but very steep in places (steep mtb routes). The weather was gorgeoes and even on the hill tops it wasn't cold.

Going somewhere flatter and hopefully faster tomorrow. It's so long since I did a straight, flat run I have no idea what speed I can run at which makes idenrfying a pace for tempo runs quite hard.

Anyone else out this weekend?

Thanks tiredemma! Marking my place and will be back tomorrow to say a bit more - too knackered to think straight and off to bed now. Good practice for marathon training I guess, being knackered and going to bed early :)
