Umm, don't know whether anyone has mentioned this, but keep some kind of training log. You'll look back and be amazed at how far you have come.

Interesting thread this one.It has described me in one way or another.
1.Beginner-ish...well i last ran in 1981!And have just started again.
2.Overweight...Big style 16.5 stone.
3.12 minute miler, or there abouts.
4.And my nemesis,sore shins.

I am training on grass at the moment (not the medicinal type)and hope it helps to lessen the chance of injury.Three weeks now and so far so good, of following the Runners World beginners schedule.
I will keep a watch on this thread and perhaps post back with my progress.

I've never really posted to newsgroups (and I've worked in the computer industry for 8 years), but these threads seem to have attracted my interest. The whole website is pretty cool actually.

...but you guys know all this so I'll shut up and get back on the cycle machine..only another 300 cals to go...

I checked out the web site - thanks a million! Its brill and free. I feel inspired by you all. Anyone fancy creating our own on line slimming group?

Re: www.fitday.com
Found another site more tailored to us in the UK:

www.weightlossresources.co.uk

its got most of the foods available in the UK, but it COSTS!! £7 per month.

I'm sticking to www.fitday.com as I've entered most of the foods I eat on a regular basis (yes I know, I need to get
out more...and I will if it ever stops
raining!)

Again, I'm nothing to do with this website but a big thanks to whoever it was who suggested it in the first place!
