| Smiley Faces, Gnarls Berkley. Does it for me everytime. And some of the Zutons stuff has a good beat, too. |

It's taken me over a year to get much faster, but some of that was to do with confidence. For a while I was so concerned that I wouldn't be able to get to the end of whatever distance I was running that I made sure to take it easy, whether in training or when racing. It's only over the past couple of months that I've realised that I can up the pace a bit and still get to the end - and that's really made me feel good! If I'm training it's usually with others and we always run at chatting pace, but now I know that in a race (up to 5 miles, anyway) I can grit my teeth and go faster. (Not a lot faster, mind, I'm only talking 9/9.5min miles - Paula Radcliffe I ain't!)
Good luck, it will come in time. I think running consistently 3 or 4 times a week has been the key for me, it's helped me become strong enough to give it a bit more welly. | |

Like the day itself (having kids helps) but hate the run-up to it. Which, incidentally, appears to have started already - Top Shop in Bromley were preparing their Xmas window display last week.....
Hate those people who do their Xmas shopping in July, but hate the fact that I can't get my act together until December. Hoping to visit sister in New Zealand this Xmas and avoid the whole family 'who is going where for Xmas dinner' rubbish. | |

| Well done you, that's a great time. You have my utmost admiration (and a great big shiny medal too). | |
