Yes....it's the title lol

Thanks for that - yes I did think that swimming the distance wouldnt me me any faster (same principle applies for running), I just wanted to see where I was, so to speak. I'll work on my technique and on the pull etc. Will report back and thanks for your time in responding

You need to do what my Dr tells me to do whenever I pay him a rare visit - COME BACK IN 3 WEEKS TIME IF SYMPTOMS GET ANY WORSE.

Yeah but how much does the tattoo cost....?

My grandmother was a very strong woman and hated being old - this made her a bitter woman in her latter years and as I was the youngest she took a lot of it out on me. Not sure what her reasons were etc etc, but her death did nothing to me and the hurt she caused whilst she was alive made me stronger, even if they hurt…

No idea. Never happened in my household....

When you actually mean all the superlatives you use. OK OK OK, just mostly.

Yes :)

Hendricks Gin w/Schweppes Tonic Water (none of that diet sh1t), slice of cucumber and ice. Sit down relax and enjoy. And then refill.

Really......? Yikes

I used not to - actually probably ran about 10 halves with only water. Then I discovered Cliff Shot Bloks, had one every 2 miles and felt a massive difference. Ran a PB (personal best) on the two that I took them on. So they work for me, but try them out on a training run as Carson suggests, nothing worse than trying it…

Also if they're running around that'll keep them warm. I've got a labrador and a heinz 57 (collie / whippet / jack russel cross) and he's got think fur (ie not as well covered as the lab) and he does fine, just make sure he runs around a lot. And it's about 3-5 degrees C in the UK now so at 12 degrees it would be lovely!!…

9.5?!

I coloured my hair slightly orange by mistake once, does that count?!

1. Take overcoat off 2. Take fleece off 3. Calm the dog down and charge around the house after him 4. Try to find the bottle of wine.

^^^ This. The more you think about it, the more chances you're giving yourself to talk yourself out of it. Add me as a friend and I'll kick your butt - sorry, encourage you. :laugh: :wink: :tongue: :flowerforyou:

Hey add me, down in Suffolk and London but in the right time zone :)

Walk around with a plastic bag under your t-shirt :)

From training with army PT's, anything over 40mins gets to burn fat.

Run backwards. It's faster. Or maybe that's just for me?!?

So cute!!!!

BON JOVI ROCK!!!
