Sorry folk but I just need to post this. I am going to start again. I did the challenge in 2012, and whilst I found it difficult, it was SO rewarding. It's now 2015 and sadly I have become a couch potato again. Tomorrow is the day. IT'S OFFICIAL! Wish me luck ;-)

You did it before, so you know it works. There are loads of advocates here, and loads of support. Good luck, and keep posting.

I reckon it takes guts to take it on a second time.... which is one reason why I've kept running since 2012! I wish you much enjoyment and success with it and that it sticks.

You don't need luck - just a bit of moral support. You are going out there and going to do it. You've done it before so you know you can do it again.

Now let's see the report on here tomorrow of how things went.

Have fun !

Why not start today instead of tomorrow? That way you will complete it a day earlier.

Okay, good luck, but how do we keep you running after graduation? Becoming a regular poster on here may be enough. Keep us posted.

Thank you all so much for replying. I am so pleased I posted my intention. Tomorrow is DEFINATELY the day. With all your encouragement how can I fail? And, well done Reenie_Rens. You're the one who's ahead not me as you've completed the first run! I should have listened to Chritop ;-)
