    Nice job! Keep working at it. I love the days when everything just clicks and I fall in to an almost meditative state while running.

    thats amazing! made my mouth drop open :noway:

    it used to take me 20 minutes to run/walk a mile and now i'm finally RUNNING it in about 10 minutes. that's something i never thought i'd be able to do. running is an addiction. keep up the good work...
  • Congrats on the accomplishment; I know how hard it is to get to that point!

    I hate to run but this post just reminded me that I need to start training for the half marathon I signed up to run in January! This will be my second 1/2 marathon. Excited about the accomplishment but dreading the 13.1 miles!!!! Any words of wisdom or a training schedule? I have 23 weeks to train starting fom August 20th.

    oh thanks u everyone for your kind words.
    here goes on answering some questions........ i didnt use any trainning programmes i just decided one day that running is free and i CAN do it. i started with my dog in january and we run on country paths and mountains so she can run off the lead next to me. when i go out on poavment runs she stays at home alos big runs is to much for her.

    yes i am training for a half marathon, its the one held in cardiff wales UK in october, im hoping to do it in 2hours 15mins so i need to speed up a little more for that.

    i use to run in my gym shoes but as i got better i found they were no good for me so went to a running store and got a decent pair, however not the best as i normally give up on things, however ive stuck to this so for christmas im having a very good pair of nike shoes :)

    ive recently taken up crdio boxing and im finding its helping me with all my upper body.

    anyways i hope ive answered ur questions xx

    Well done with your running, it is brilliant. If you fancy another challenge in October, I am taking part in this in Cardiff:
