Well done!! :smile: My Sister in law did her first (& she swears last!) marathon on Sunday too. I'm thinking about doing a half next year sometime.

I've won a few things over the years....a Wii when it first came out, a dozen or so smaller prizes from magazine competitions (baby related stuff usually) a modem recently in one of those wind tunnel machine things that blow paper up for you to catch. Husband won a playstation 2. Just today I won a "grow your own sandwich"…

This.....also if I drink before I run (other than a sip or two) so I make sure I get plenty of fluids in during the hour before I run, stopping at least 20 minutes beforehand.
-
No coffee or alcohol......not the lifestyle for me!! :o

Shiny new ticker :) November starts tomorrow for me (live in New Zealand) but wont go for a run until the 2nd.
-
I know what you mean!! I had a mini freak out at the idea of running for 20 minutes during C25k.....now I do an hour (give or take a few minutes depending on which route I take) and finish with a smile!!! I'm doing my first 10km on the 30th November and looking for a half to do next year (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg…

I'm going to repeat my goal from October....100km. I have my first 10km at the end of November :) All things going well I should pass the 100!!

It's a good feeling isn't it? I've stopped wearing an oversized t-shirt when I run now and I don't feel self-conscience anymore!! We have worked hard to get to this point, so we should feel proud!!

Thank @fabnine!! I had a forced rest day today (pouring rain.....and I do not run in the rain!! :smiley: ) and my leg is feeling back to normal. I can still make my goal for the month...I'm so close I'm sure I can knock it out in 2 runs!!

I generally struggle with eating when I have a cold :neutral_face: I will eat whatever I can get down in the quickest time with the least amount of effort! I actually prefer to drink my food when I'm sick so a lot of soups (usually the instant kind if I have any) and coffee!!

5'2" here! Start weight was 65kg (143lb) and my goal is 55kg (121lb) but I'll see how things look and feel as I get down closer to that weight. CW is 60kg (132lb). My current fitness goal is to start training for a half marathon!! Doing my 1st 10km race end of next month, then working towards the half :smile:

It is a pile of calories with almost no nutritional value and a butt load of sodium.
-
Well done everyone who is close to or at goal for the month!!! I am forcing myself to have another 3 day rest to try and sort out my thigh....I clearly did something to it running with a pinched sciatic nerve :(
-
2 people this week have told me I am looking slimmer!!! I didn't realise that anyone except myself and my husband could see the difference :)
-
When I first started logging (on my old account) I nearly died when I found out the calorie count of Couscous :( I love it, and was making big roast vege or fresh vege salads with it and having them for lunch everyday.....until I started logging!!

That's what I was thinking......is a single pack 36g? or is it 93g? (as stated on the right of the picture in the link)

Today I ditched the baggy oversized t-shirt and ran in a tight fitting racerback singlet!!! And I didn't feel self conscience at all :)

It's MY time! No talking, no having to deal with others (except a smile and wave at others on the trail) my thoughts can run through my head uninterrupted!!! And I can listen to what ever music I want!! :smile:

THIS!!! The fact you can run 10km is awesome!!! I ran my first 10km the other day and did 1 hour and 8 minutes. You will get a big range of times.......longer legs, longer strides, more time running!! How much you weigh....so many different factors result in different times!
-
Me too!! My husband has suggested me running with a friend.......Oh hell no! I run to get away from people!! I am literally running away from social contact! I love doing my exercise by myself :)

I average net 1400 calories and it has taken me about 5 months to lose 5kg. I am only 5' 2" tall, 37 yrs old and I only have 8-10 kg to lose so it is a bit slower to come off. I run 3-4 times a week (up to an hour) some weeks I throw in some circuit training on my non run days.

Never had bubble and squeak with any meat in it! It is usually a mash of leftover root vegetables....potatoes, carrot, parsnips, turnips etc, sometimes cabbage. Mash up last nights vege with butter and milk and serve....or you can mash and fry in a frypan to give it a crunchy outside! I'm from New Zealand :) We do a lot of…

So I need to set a new goal!! :D I ran 11km on Friday!! Just decided to keep going and see how I went and I completed the run in 1 hour and 13 minutes (my sciatic nerve started acting up!!) So my next goal is 15km, then 20km by Xmas B) And who knew running for an hour non stop could be such fun!!??
