I just entered the Sport Relief (6) Mile.

This will be my first ever run with a number pinned to me.

I'm already regretting it Grin

I've got the couch to 5 k app on my phone and I've just started it about three weeks ago. Very good app I recommend it.

Thank you!
I'm v pleased for both your DDs too, they must have really enjoyed it! We had a lovely atmosphere at the run, cheering other runners on and the sun came out too Grin
I envy anyone that can swim proficiently.
C25k comes v highly recommended I believe

Dizzy - it's great how much they enjoy it isn't it. I hope it continues as I would love for her to stay fit and active throughout her teenage years as we'll.

DD also wants to go for 2.5k next year.

Well done Thursday - that's brilliant. I have started the Couch to 5k programme to try to be able to run!

Holiday - my DD was the same as yours. She wants to up the distance to 2.5k next year!

Wonderful swimming!
I ran 6 miles in 53 mins and raised about £180.
A successful day Grin

DD 8 swam today, she was nervous when we got there as only a few children but she did great swimming 1.5 km in 37 mins. As soon as she got out she asked when was the next one Smile

I swam 2.5 k today in one hour 12 mins and am well and truly knackered I can tell you. Going for a big Sunday lunch now to recuperate. Good luck to everyone doing anything for sport relief. So far I've raised £115 but hope to make more.

Not at all bas for a 9yo dizzy.
There's no way I could swim even a little bit of that!
Good luck to you too Grin

DD swam tonight. 1.5k in 40 mins. Not bad for a 9 year old!

My 5k swim is on Sunday morning

Less than 48 hours to go!
How are all the keen swimmers feeling?

Hahaha Blue, what gave me away? Wink
Running wise, I think I'm ok - 6 miles under my belt today and my first park run tomorrow.
I need to be a bit more forceful guilt tripping people into sponsoring me!

Love the name Thurs - a fellow Fforde fan? How's it going?

holidayseeker · 25/02/2014 17:21

Thursday I know I couldn't swim as far as some of these swimmers. I already struggle to even keep up with my dd.

holidayseeker · 25/02/2014 17:20

Thanks dizzy, if it's 2 hours allowing for breaks then she will definitely be able to do it. I mentioned her teaming up with dh but she wants to do it on her own.

Good luck to you and your dd.

I'm so impressed with all you swimmers (esp little ones!), I find swimming simply too difficult.
So more respect to you, how's the sponsorship going?

Holidayseeker The sessions are usually 2 hours long so she should have plenty of time even with a few stops.

DD and I did a team 1.5k last year with her doing 40 of the lengths and she could have finished it herself given half a chance!
