I always said that! But I have to admit that running along the sea front means I can focus on something and it helps me a lot. Watching the waves today made me forget my throbbing blister!

Right, travelling is over and I've not been running for 2 weeks apart from a couple of stints at the gym whilst I was away. Need to get back into it now, so I'll get myself out tonight. Put on about 8 stone whilst I was in China and I go on holiday in just over a month, so I need to lose about 10 stone before then. Wish me luck

Do you mean 8 lbs ?

Desmo · 07-08-2008, 07:40

I hope she does

Belmit · 07-08-2008, 09:19

Hahahaha! 8 stone in two weeks. You'd have to be on an IV of beef dripping!

They do some funny things out there mate, it wouldn't surprise me

Bloody foreigners, with their ways!

Did the 10k in 1hr 7 mins, with one 30 second recovery walk at 5k and a 1 min recovery walk at 8k, but the rest was running.

She was so happy she phoned her partner straight after to tell him! So sweet!

So that was done on the sea front following the path the Swansea Bay 10k takes so we know we can do that in September no probs now. The next part is training up for the 10k Merthyr Mawr run in Dec, It's over sand dunes so is a tough one so we are now starting to train by running on and off the beach.

Nice one Dawn

I'm going to drop back down to 5km tomorrow night and then try 7 again on Monday. Keep shifting it up and down a bit
