Just read the thread since I last posted (before today) and feel like a complete heel. I posted en route to shower so didn't check what you were all up to.
Some of you have been having tough runs. Keep at it and don't give up. I recently had my iron levels checked as I was very tired and now, 6 days into the iron tablets I have a lot more energy.
Sybil-Sorry to hear about the job, it's a real sign of the times that they don't even send a letter out. Glad to hear the wine therapy helped.
Tulip-Time seems of the essence when you injured but keen, I'd take it slowly as you're probably better off letting the injury heal properly before returning to the program. You may not need to repeat anything at all but you run the risk of a much worse injury if you return too soon.
Gormer-Hello! You sound pretty much like the finished article to me. I really impressed that you did it before with only the aid of a book!!!
My bra is a shock absorber too, since I discovered them (whilst at university many, many aeons ago) I just have never found any other bra provides quite that level of support. Tricky to do up though if it's got a racer back!
Ladies I need your help. For reasons I bore you with later (so you can skip them if you want to) I've decided to reward myself with a running magazine, it doesn't have to be weekly, I think I'd like one aimed at women (should one exist) but only if it is indeed worth going or one (over one just aimed at the runner). So, any recommendations please?
Here's the boring bit. Since I'm size 18 now (yay! for me) I've looked around and realised that most running gear only goes up to size 16, I want to look good in my 'reward for completing the programme gear' so am going to reward myself with the Shred video to do on rest days and a running mag.
I'll stick to my Sainsburys leggings until I'm a confortable 16 and then buy some running gear. (Can you tell I'm excited to be a size that I'm prepared to admit to even if it is a big one?)
By the way, I have no corner, but hey! I think I want a corner! My legs, like christmas hams once are becoming thinner and thinner, so I think there may come a time when a corner may be in order.
Thank you for your kind words Midtowner, I'm really focussing on how much better I look. (I'm at that stage where people are beginning to comment). Amazingly and unlike when I'm dieting, I'm not hung up on food, bogged down (particularly by how I look) but just desperate to get out there to do my next run!!
By the way, my running/powerwalking mates are astounded by what I've achieved so quickly. Thus I am walking around like this

This program really is a good thing.
Am off to figure how to get 'our song' onto my play list...
