Garmin 110 - how long to charge?
It arrived this morning...its gorgeous...and it needs a full charge before I can use it! Given that I am the most impatient woman around, how long goes a full charge take from new? :bigsmile:

The 200 Mile Macmillan Madness
The origin of the 200 Mile Madness came out of my injured runner's desire to have a goal to work towards after healing whilst remembering lost friends and supporting current cancer warriors. When I actually made the decision to tell Stripycat about the challenge she leapt at the idea - and as she will admit she'd be too…

Call me what you want...but STOP calling me skinny!
very nearly lost it the other day with a regular who drinks in the pub I work in. I've been losing weight steadily and sensibly, I still have 20 or so pounds to go until I hit my healthy weight and I am in no way "skinny". He was loitering after closing and I was about to start the clean up and we were chatting about…

C25k - Week 4 problems
I'm on week 4 of the C25k and I'm struggling here people! I did day one on Sunday plus a bit...managed the full 5 mins of running but had to pull up short due to some pain in my thigh/groin.

exhausted...and feeling guilty for NOT going for a run
Aloha MFP'ers... Now I know that unless you are in it, there will be no winning it but today I am completely and totally shattered. This week has been hectic and stressful and culmintated with a Friday night shift in the pub and a usual midnight finish. The difference being its a Bank Holiday weekend and so everyone and…

So, why did you run today?
Me? Mainly because it was on the schedule but also because of my boss. He is a TOOL...a complete *kitten*, misogynistic (spell check please) tool. So I got out of work late (again), drove home, threw on my running gear, got mad about the lack of iPod and went for a run. And it worked. I ran him into the pavement, into the…

I need to lose approx 15kg and as a gym phobic carb addicted woman I am on a constant struggle with my blood sugars too. So - here I…
