Hi JM3 can only put u to shame if i can actually do the races lol i am so scared!! ive not done any races b4, so far ive only been running for about 5 months on treadmills in gym and a few disasterous outside runs but the weights coming off slowly and i need the races to keep me focused.

Has everybody else been running long?

and of course to have fun!

and to be size 12 by Crimbo! (currently 16!)

I cud go on and on and on

Hi i wasnt on the old thread as it got too big, so v.glad u started new one!

Im 24, live in Brum and have this crazy idea that i acn be a proper runner some day my goals are as follows:

1) To lose the three stone holding me back

2) Run for half hour non stop outside (can do inside but cant run for 5 mins outside for some reason!!)

3) To at least finish the 10k at Sutton park on 7th Sep, set PB and get a medal (1st ever race really scared!! especially as i recently found out i cant run outside!!!!)

4) To feel like a real runner and to look forward to running

5) To run half marathon on Oct 26th, set PB and get a medal.

6) To be so confident i enter Paris half in March 09

Hi ive never done a race b4 but im also doing the Sutton Park 10k in Sep,  and half in Brum in Oct!! and am really nervous was running on treadmill and thought id be ok then went for jog outside and found it much more difficult!

 Was thinking of just forgetting about the 10k and just training for the half but that would be wimps way out so have decided just to go for it. The worst that cud happen is i dont make it to the end but then that will give me the kick up the bum wot i need to knuckle down with training.

Good luck Andy but there will be worse people there like me so dont worry, in fact u mite end up doing so well u can give me a piggyback!
