Very engaging, lovely

[TJFlute]

It's great and reads easily.

Did you post about last week's race, by the way, or did I miss it?

[psarapsych Graduate]

Brilliant and excellently written Viv and I'm sure you have put into words what most of us feel. Thank you, Sara. xox

[SBG356 Graduate]

Great blog Viv! I too will be popping back to it for the updates so, keeeeep writing!! Sue x

[jenniej Graduate]

Really well written and very entertaining. Well done.

[sfb350 Graduate]

Love it ! I'm "following" the blog and look forward to more

[Pearsey]

Well written Viv, except for the swearing-was this really necessary? It would have stood by itself. Having said that I enjoyed the blog and will be coming back for more.

[Vivwestie Graduate]

Thank you all for your kind comments - it's great to get some feedback.

TJFlute - I don't know if I posted about last week's Funrun - I can't remember! But it was good - not 'fun' EXACTLY, but at least I wasn't last!

Pearsey - Sorry that you didn't like the swearing - I use it when I would use it in usual speech - if you see what I mean - I see swear words as being useful for expression and emphasis - but do appreciate that some people are offended by them. Thanks for being honest.

Well done Viv!!! I have always enjoyed reading your blogs. You are so down to earth and express so many of the same thoughts I have. I will continue to check in, so make you continue blogging! BTW: what are you averaging minute wise, running a 5K distance? Wishing you continued running success! Gayle

[Vivwestie Graduate in reply to gdeann]

Hey Gayle - Thanks for that. Re the 5K distance - my first was 35 mins and I think the second was anything between 31 mins and 35 mins! I'm not entirely sure - as it was a funrun and I had to estimate based on the start time and how soon I thought I finished before checking the time! What about you?

[gdeann Graduate in reply to Vivwestie]

My first was 39:45 and the second 37:50. I think I actually could of been faster on the second other then wind and hills. at least a girl can dream...

[gdeann Graduate]

I clicked to follow you and was amazed how many followers you already have! YOU GO GIRL! Gayle

[Vivwestie Graduate in reply to gdeann]

Haha- yeah - there is deffo a mistake - there's no way I've got 225 followers in two days! I'm still working my way round wordpress, usually prefer blogger but for some reason I couldn't get it to set up the blog, so wordpress it is!

[smhall Graduate]

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

You have done it. As you may have gathered from my posts...I always have something to say. I am at a loss after reading your blog. The only thing that I can say is, brilliant...simply brilliant.

Thank you!

Steve

[Vivwestie Graduate in reply to smhall]

Thanks Steve - do you have a blog?

[smhall Graduate in reply to Vivwestie]

Oh my no, no blog for me!! I am far to plain, ordinary and boring to have enough to say to fill a blog or to hold anyone's interest!! Not to mention, if I was to blog about my running, it would be quite ineffective unless you could hear all of the gasping and wheezing!!

I will leave the blogs to you and I will take care of the wheezing and gasping!!

Keep Running...and blogging!!

Steve

[Vivwestie Graduate]

Nonsense, Steve. Ordinary? Boring? Plain? You're certainly mistaken. To even think that. Your blogs are always great on here. But I understand that it's not for everyone! So keep on wheezing and gasping and running because it's good to know that I'm in good company in that area, LOL!
