Hopefully you'll have found your way here.

Here's a new race list list, feel free to add to it:

British 10K: 2nd July, Crunchie, Titchy

Too late for me tonight but I'll post some 5k & 10k training ideas here soon.

Hi Crunchie and Dannie - have been chuckling over your rivalry! I take it you two know motherinferior? Does that mean you live in S. E. London? I've met her a few times, as we live pretty close - in fact she was the first mumsnetter I met in person.

I sacrificed my lie in this morning to get up and do the breakfast shift at 7am (normally dp does it), but this should mean I can go out for about an hour and a half at 9am. Think it's going to take all my willpower not to just go back to bed again!

Did my longest run ever - 10 miles, and really enjoyed it. What a great day for running - nice weather, but not too hot, and even the occasional refreshing breeze just when I needed it.

Well done Pidge, not far off a half marathon now!

Am gonna try for 10 miles one night this week, have been relaxing a bit too much recently! Must kick my lazy a*se back into action

Well done Quanglewangle & Busy for starting running again after injuries. its always tough to go for the first run after a break.

Well done Pidge, no doubt you can run a half marathon now !

I ran on Sunday morning, it was great. I have a friend visiting from the UK, she cycled with me towing DS in the trailer, I felt great as she struggled to keep up with me ! She is from Norfolk though and considers things that I think are flat to be steep hills !

Paddingtonbear, get your lazy self out for a run, you know you will feel better once you have been out the first time. BTW, there is a cycling thread under 'Sports', but its a bit slower than this would be great to have a few more people there.

And a final point, can I make a suggestion that we start a new Runner's thread and put it under 'Sports'. The thread gets lost very quickly down the list in the health section.

Good idea, if I was looking for a running thread I would have looked in sports, not sure how I came across this one. Glad I did though.

OK, just off to start new thread, back soon to give you the link

OK, I've moved us here so hope you'll reset your thread watch and join us in 'Sports'
