[TJFlute in reply to MaryAB]

Let us all know how you get on with the training for it I think it's going to be an interesting 12 weeks don't you?! Lots of luck x

we need a c2hm sub forum so we can compare bunions and blisters.

[TJFlute in reply to Greg_M]

Yep! I think I read somewhere on the site tonight that the site is updating/changing and having more options etc soon.

[hollyO Graduate]

Congratulations! 10k - thats amazing. At my RFL I watched the 10kers going off for their extra section and wondered how on earth they had the energy. You are one of those!! Good luck with your preparations for RFL and the half marathon (yikes!)

[shelleymcb Graduate]

thats brilliant. definately back into this running lark then!

go girl

[TJFlute in reply to shelleymcb]

Yes I really am! Confidence has really grown this year, especially after the 10k race. This site has been a huge help to get me out of my comfort zone with running.

[shelleymcb Graduate in reply to TJFlute]

so wheres the photo of you holding up your medal in pride

& a big well done on your race. x

[TJFlute]

Would have liked to have shown a photo but too many Mb so it hasn't come out

[Oldgirl Graduate in reply to TJFlute]

Make a copy and resize your pic, and change its format that should do it.

[Greg_M Graduate]

no fair thats just teasin'.....wanna see the picture!

What a year huh!

are you started on your 1/2 Marathon programme yet? I feel I should be doing more.........I'll end up doing my homework on the bus I expect

Great work though Theresa.

[TJFlute in reply to Greg_M]

I have started it but to be honest the first week is easy with 30 minutes easy then tempo then speed and even the long run is 3 miles! Actually this is quite lucky because i have had a bad back since the 10k race.

[glendam52 Graduate]

wow wow wow how amazing is that from couch to half marathon well done.

Keep us updated with your progress.

[Moley01 Graduate]

Superb - very well done and good luck with the HM training

[AliB1 Graduate]

You are certainly going for it! Nothing to stop you now.

All this talk of 10ks, half marathons has got me thinking that I might think about a race later in the year...10k (I'm not mad enough yet for anything longer!). I'll see how I go with my first race next week and take it from there.

Wow, what an inspiration. Well done and enjoy!

[OldNed Graduate]

Great stuff. The never-ending journey (which none of us thought we could do) just keeps on! Well done

[Hidden]

Wow ! So many projects !

Well done we are proud of you

[mair99 Graduate]

Wonderful achievement... And going for a half marathon! Am hoping to do one in Seprember too... Looks like its becoming an epidemic...

[shellieboots Graduate]

OMG!!! That is amazing!! Well done TJFlute. You are inspiring x

[TJFlute]

Thank you so much everyone for responding and for your very encourging words! Today I suffered with the heat, but having the half marathon ahead of me meant that I DID the run, there's no opting out, even at this stage.
