I thought he was a tw&t, but then I finally watched it and my hat goes off to him properly...what a dude.

It was him and his determination that sort of swayed my marathon decision.

Awesome Sarah.

I just came back from my 4 mile run. I'm not going to say what pace I ran But after my unforseen 10 mile run yesterday I was surprised at the pace I acheived.

Rest* day tomorrow.

*actually I'll be chucking furniture all round the house all on my own as the carpet fitters will be there fitting carpets in all the rooms.

I'm due to do an 11 miler later today, its ****ing down but I'm actually looking forward to it

Flymo - Training using HR still going well?

rainy running rocks

just cracked 2.95km in 20min, way better than when i started also lost a fair bit of weight in the last 5/6 weeks from 110kg to 106.4kg still not really seeing the benefit as in reduced size apart from my legs are a bit more lean

Barwel - You probably won't notice it mate, not until someone who hasn't seen you for a couple of months says something like "have you lost weight?"...and they will!

I never noticed the weight loss as I was looking every day, everyone else noticed.

I'm still a fat git though!

Did a 2hr LSR tonight (winding the length down as less than 2 weeks to marathon day), 2nd hour in the rain. As it was a bit chilly I put a string type runnin vest on underneath my long sleeve T. It was good from the point of view of helping me keep dryish and slightly warm, however the other T on top caused it to rub a little, jogger's nipple anyone?

After the Tunbridge Wells Half the other week a bloke went past me with a white t-shirt on and 12" long red blood stains running from each of his nipples!
