If the treadmills are full there's always outside!
I'm going for an 8k run at 8.30am tommorow outdoors no matter the weather. This is my face And this'll be me when I've done the damn thing Hateithateithateithateithateit.

I like the friendliness of running outdoors. We see the same people running and say hi. It's nice.
8k down, 10k tomorrow. We'll be walking when she wants to but after running the 8k really well today she'll do the 10k no probs.

You know....I'm really enjoying my running
I could never run before although I blame most of that on my trainers at the time. Now I've got something decent I just keep pushing myself more and more. I can do 5km quite easily now. I also know I can do it within 30 minutes which I'm chuffed about. My starting speed has gone from 7.5km/h to 9km/h and the other night my last 1km was done at over 12km/h. I can see a rapid improvement. But tonight I'm going to drop the speed and keep it constant and then see how far I can go....going to mix it up a bit so I go from short and fast to long and slow (can I hear a fnaarr!!!) depending on what mood I'm in

That's the way to do it! *hits over head with truncheon*
Am off to get my gait analysed today. My usual trainers are giving me a blister about 2 inches long on my instep when I run over 5k so need some specially for running longer distances.

I use the treadmill to make sure I maintain my top speed on the sprints for interval training as I don't have the discipline to keep going when outside. When I got to the gym yesterday all five treadmills were taken up by people walking. I bet they bloody drove there as well.
I don't have many gripes in the gym, but this is my main one, along with equipment hogs and people reading magazines on the bikes whilst doing their level 1, 0.5km/h workout. Actually, that's all pretty much the same gripe! My only other main gripe is that the Kirsten Dunst lookalike with the tiny shorts doesn't seem to use the gym any more. Might put a complaint in the suggestion box.
