Great news moshi (now please beat my bro - I'd love to tell him he was chicked when he's all smug about his time
).
hat - yes I know I'm pathetic about hills. I plan to address it at some point, maybe during my half marathon training or maybe when I actually enter a race that contains any hills which isn't very likely. BUt i've got over my 10+ miles mental block so here's hoping.
Having said that I only did 9 this morning. Acid indigestion, which I don't usually suffer with, all the way round and now feel terrible. Can't get warm, achey and generally bleurgh. Hoping its just PMT.... oh and hte fact that after all my plans for a good nights sleep dd2 woke up every 2-3 hours until about 5 when she came in with us and then kept kicking the covers off me. She's 2.7 FGS.... and that's years not months... or weeks...
Great pics running - you look like you're having fun !!
On the subject of pics, I don't know if I've said this before, but when I did my first ever 5K my friend and I vowed to get an official picture from every new distance we did. I only have 3 but they improve and by the last one I am almost smiling.
There's an awful lot of sad news re early deaths/illnesses on this thread is that just because we're all getting old or the fact that its what motivates us to run ? Certainly I took up running initially when I was having fertility issues between the dds and then DH was v. seriously ill whilst I was pregnant with dd2 - although not caused by being unfit, being initially healthy and fit probably helped him recover as much as he did. And then I always think of our other close friends who have had serious illnesses since then, and that spurs me on. It can only help can't it ?
