Have just stumbled across this thread and hope you don't mind if I add my tuppence worth...........

 Very well done on the weight loss and the improved fitness Andy.

While I agree that your doc should have been a little more encouraging, I would like to point out that it is possible to become annorexic if you are doing too much excercise and not taking in enough calories.

 I coach junior middle-distance runners and sadly have seen this on more than one occassion....... parents not realising that due to the amount of activity their kids are doing their diets should be adjusted to give them the correct amount of fuel.

Whilst you were trying to loose the weight then obviously you needed to burn more calories than you were taking on, but if you have reached an optimum weight then you really should just check that your calories are at a maintanance level.

Sorry if this is teaching you to suck eggs!!!

Hi Tracey G

I was the marshall at the top of the Minnis Bay slope - handing out jelly babies and trying to get the cars to stop long enough for you all to cross the road!!

Hi all, just wanted to say that as a marshall yesterday I had a gr8 time!

Thank you to all of you who took the time to say "Thanks" or even just smile and wave, believe me, it makes a difference!!

Well done to all of you who finished x

Thanks guys - glad to know its not just me.

Beanie3 - I always have two slices of toast about 2 hours before I run, any sooner and i stitch up after about 10 mins.

 My training partner seemed to think it was more heat exhaustion that made me sick than anything i ate, although as it was so hot i think i may have taken in too much water on the way around?!

well done plodmaster
