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

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.

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

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?

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... ;-)

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!

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!

Thanks Steve - do you have a blog?

smhallGraduate 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!! :-)

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!
