I fancy doing a half marathon or less. Anybody know of one very soon around Swindon?

I think of girls cheering me on, that makes me run faster and longer. Or looking at myself in a mirror on a treadmill. And if theres a pretty lady running I try and impress her by not stopping and overtaking her, but then when I'm around the corner I collapse

best of luck
+1, www.fetcheveryone.com is great

Surely only Kenyans jog 20 miles home from work and describe it as "nice". Ian are you Kenyan?

wow 20 mile runīs home, puts my 1 mile runs to shame!!

Next week bumping it up to 2 mile runs a bit nervous to see if I can actually run the entire way of that but will see tomorrow.

Anna, once you have set your mind that you will do something, it's already achieved. You will do it!
