Nailed it, Joe. Well done. I hate running in the cold. - Hay

Well, you might know this already, but I never do what anyone tells me to. If it feels right, do it! I kind of like discovering the course as it happens, on the day, but then, I'm not really serious about eventing. :-)

Be my friend!!! Oh, wait...:P

Okay, pass me a tissue, please. How beautiful!

Sign me up! I <3 to Run.

I have the Nike+Sportwatch, and HRM. It's my favourite thing ever.

Hey! Vegan here, too :-)

3630.5km = 2255miles. Give or take :-)

got anything against vegans?

AMEN!

From : New Zealand First baby :19 Married three days before she was born *bang goes the shotgun* haha.

Oh Joe, that's AWESOME!!! Way to go...it'll be first in your age division next time, woohoo!!

Got my first tattoo, my daughters names on my arm :-)

Oh that's wonderful, well done you! :-)

WOW! Great job so far, so impressive :-)

There is a kiwi group too, just in case you're looking for local pals. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/397-new-zealand-group

^This. It totally works. And early nights, don't try to burn the candle at both ends.

Great job Joe! Looks like you gained a lot more (LOVE!) than you lost, not many of us can say that :-)

Oh yep, get that :-) Hope you have a good time too!

Soup is awesome, as long as you're not worried about your sodium intake. Winter is always a challenge for me.

I'll be doing the 12km at one of the Rotorua events, I heard they are the best ones. Can't wait!

Hamilton girl here. Been on MFP for over a year, love it!

I use a belt to hold my bits. There are so many options, so just experiment. As for measuring your distance plenty of websites like RunKeeper Dailymile etc have maps to calculate your distance with, you don't need any special equipment.

Way to go Joe, sounds incredibly tough *big pat on the back*. Hope you are going to reward yourself for that effort!

Hey :-) There are loads of us on here, we even have a group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/380-new-zealand-group

I'm a kiwi, so my Saturday will be your Friday, but I'm in. So tragic.

I read in a running magazine a while back that you should use an anti-histamine spray or tablet to prevent it, apparently it's really common.

I used wrap around the ear ones for a while, but even they would fall out. Now I have these ones : http://audio-videomart.com.tw/cgi-bin/productfn/pdt_product_lst.pl?pdtSerialNum=534

Congrats :-)

Well done for getting some exercise in, however it happens! I homeschool my four daughters, and usually exercise before they wake up in the morning - yep that means 4am starts. But you do what you gotta do right?
