My Forum

If you're getting blisters, try some more expensive socks.

Either cheer up, or get a new job- you've been miserable here for the past 3 years. Whining about work on twitter, facebook and walking around with a face like a dog's arse isn't helping anything. 

Also- do you want to come to my leaving party next week?

If Mo doesn't win the vote on this forum, he's not got much chance overall! Murray splits the housewives vote as he's not nice enough- I think it has to be Wiggo.

Isn't there a coach of the year too? Dave Brailsford should walk (/ride) that one.

Andrew- I would try this to download your Nike+ runs and export them to XML

I've never tried to import the XML formatted runs to Garmin, but there are instructions here:

A few people have mentioned Parkrun- the free 5K events. They have them in  Sedgefield and Durham.

I think a good way to start might be to give yourself a couple of weeks running on your own (so that you can walk/run for half an hour), then go along to your nearest Parkrun. They are really friendly events- and it's great motivation to try and improve your time or get round the whole thing without stopping.
