Ha Ha!!! You know what, I was soooo tempted but controlled myself :D It's nice in my head to think I could do it but think I would pee myself if I got chosen :O

Its a long way off so plenty of time to start training... gulp!! ;)

Mrs Malcy sent me the link, saying it's only 8 x 5k runs

ONLY? AARGH.

Your training starts now, so best of luck, I'm sure you'll get all the support yoou need right here.

OMG ... So brave! LOL :D

Didn't Malcy include a little line in one of his recent posts, that 'if you can run 6k, you can run any distance' ? So many good wishes flying your way .... now get out there and start the training ... eeeeek! ;) :) :D

I won't know until October if I've got in so I'm not even going to think about it - will just aim to do a half in about October time I think. That leaves plenty of time to follow a training plan should it be necessary. I fell worn out just thinking about it ! ;-)

I have a running friend who has just been diagnosed with MS and is having to walk with crutches. She is determined she will run again so I thought I should make an effort !
