As with everything in life, Jack, you are my inspiration. Just downloaded the App and am off running for the first time in the next few days when I have bought some running shoes :)

I am intending on running the Redcar half marathon in September in aid of the children"s ward that have just looked after my nephew for the last week after his Op :)

Completing it won"t be a problem.  I fear completing it faster than Jack WILL be a problem though.  :"(

Don"t suppose any of you lot joining us on the day would consider tripping him near the finish so I can catch up and pass him out?   :-*

The way Laxie"s been feeding me, I fear for the quad bike.

32 sessions now complete with number 33 to come in the morning before travelling up to Yarm for a spot of r & r. This week I"ve been doing three stints of 17 mins running separated with 1 minute walking during which I"ve ran about 5.4 miles and covered 6.5 miles total.

My training for a 5k is a bit behind that

I"ve managed 4 sessions in total, of 1.5 miles each - and they took me 17 minutes

Still - I"ve got until mid August - loads of time  :-\

Training took a bit of a back seat recently due to consecutive, boozy weekends in Yarm and Nottingham and a cold brought back from the North East. I"ve not missed any sessions as such, it just took me two weeks to do one week"s training. Anyway, I"m back on track now.

This week I did 2 x 22 minute sessions on Monday and today it was 2 x 25 minutes. It"s still not getting any easier. On Friday I do 2 x 30 minutes which should hopefully see me run the 10k distance for the first time, albeit with a one minute walk in the middle.

Next week I make the seemingly massive jump to running for 1 hour continuously, but really it"s the same as Friday"s session but without the one minute of walking. I"ll keep telling myself that when every nerve, fibre and shred of common sense (okay, not so much of that) is screaming at me to stop.
