If you can be as funny in PMQs as Call-me-Dave you get my vote. He mullered poor old Millipede today, I felt sorry for the poor boy. I'm fed up of the politics, but the comedy value was priceless!
Oh Jase ha ha , look at the tag on your post ! :- D
You can do it, its does seem scary when you think " Blimey, 20 minutes !!! " and there has been a few posts today saying exactly the same thing , but this run was very special for me .
I was 53 years old , hadnt run for God knows how long, apart from a quick dash to the paper shop to get my fags before it closed ha ha , but when I completed this run, I felt absolutely amazing . I felt as if I had really achieved something.
You will too , so deep breaths, keep calm and focused. You can do it !
You will be fine Jase, just take it slow and steady. When I did run 3 of week 5, residents of my village were treated to the sight of a small woman in running gear jumping up and down cheering ! I'm sure you will be equally elated when you have completed that run ! Let us know how it goes ! Good luck ! x
Start slow, and if you need to, slow down some more. I broke it down in to 4x5 minute sections in my head, put on some good tunes and the time flew by.
Best of luck for Friday, enjoy it ?
C'mon Jase you can do it! And I think the excitement part is the knowing you are more than capable hope you've been practising your victory routine cos I don't doubt you're gonna need it!
Good luck jase! Its an anxious wait for that first 20 min run, but keep positive, we know you can do it, and think of that feeling when you get there, you'll be smiling for hours! I found once I got past the 10 mins the determination kicked in and there was no way i was going to let that 20 min target slip! Keep on going!
"It is a far, far better thing that you do than you have ever done... You will do this because myself and thousands of others before me have paved the way to create the ground that you will run upon tomorrow, have built the force within you that will enable you to seize the day and take the cheers of the thousands who will run with you in spirit forcing you onwards with every drop of sweat until you have conquered all and will be able to pass the legacy of this run to children yet unborn and a thousand nations and say that: This day I ran for England and St George - this day I won - Cry Freedom and Sceptered Isles!!! - (and if every man, woman and child were to run in this country for 20 minutes then it would be a far lighter place.)"
Just a speech to add to your collection when you are PM - and can everyone who can run for more than 20 mins be exempt from paying tax please - many thanks.
PS. Can I be minister of health (I can run 10K now so am eminently qualified!)
As was once said "They may take our lives but they can't take our freedom!" Tax free and bonuses to all runners
Thank god it's not just me. When I finished week 5, run 3 it was freezing and raining hard. I ran up my drive will both hands in the air chanting Rocky. Lol.
Come on Jase44. You will do it. Let us know how you get on.
I am happy to be anybody's junior! But with reference to your being able to run 11k - I'm afraid skill and ability have never been pre-requisites for parliamentary office - indeed the opposite would appear to be true I will not sulk I shall be Minister of Defence instead... 'now what does this red button do... whoops sorry!!!'.
Yes and Bazza as Minister of Technology and Ianoadatruth as Minister of Sageness and Useitorloseit as Minister of Supportiveness and Aliboo as Minister of Loadsathings and... and ... and everyone on the forum can be ministers and we'll get the whole Country running (but not around in circles like the current Ministers ) Yah & Yay!!!
You will be ok...I remember it so well. I had nightmares and the squits ( not jokingly) the week before...but we did it ( me and my boy), it was hard but we felt on top of the world after...good luck, stay strong and ' push that body punish that body'
Whoop Whoop not far behind you would have been completing mine on Saturday morning but got to rush of to Pembrokeshire so may be Sunday or Monday but soooo excited/ anxious about doing it, can't wait to hear your shout of achievement as I will still be in South Yorkshire then. Good Luck but your not going to need it :-))
