Sorry I'm the one who had the duplicate account!! It's all sorted now (kind of) one has been deleted,

I registered last night but on trying to get into my account thismorning I was told 'no account set up' and couldn't get in so thinking I hadn't completed to end did it again!! But still the same.

I've mailed person concerned who deleted one for me but I still can't 'get in' just says unable to log in.

How annoying for you - hope you can get it sorted out by Sunday, or soon afterwards.

So, we are 41...

I've started building up to it - today was my 4th consecutive 30 min exercise day. I ran on Sat, walked on Sunday, ran yesterday and did the NHS Stretch and Flex podcast this morning (and a 9 minute 'bootcamp' exercise routine with a Swiss ball with a video on the sparkpeople website, so I may have weird aches tomorrow - I really must learn to pace myself better!)

Let's have some warmer weather though, please!

I think you spilt some of your drink on it, that's why it wont work!! ;)

Hope they can sort it or delete it and start again.....

Just checked...now 42! :) Let's keep plugging away guys! There were just 3 from here last year so we are setting a brilliant record for this site!!

That's really impressive 42, to last years 3.

All sorted now, very nice chap helped me out x

you are "building up to it"? It sounds like you are underway! Will you therefore be doing 5x60? I am using the next few days as an excuse not to exercise before this challenge! haha

Ah but I might have a day or two off before Sunday. :) I'm thinking of doing the parkrun Saturday, as a starting point measure, so having 2 rest days before would make sense... But I haven't looked at the weather forecast yet!

I just signed Steve up! Boy, will he be surprised when he comes home from his business trip! ;-)

So, if you signed up twice, does this mean you will be doing 100 days???? ;-)

Welcome on board! Even if you were press-ganged by your wife! :D

Did she forget to mention that alcohol is banned for the 50 days? ;) he he!

Hahaha!!! She had to be drunk to have signed me up for this!!! I have to think that beer is what is going to give me the energy necessary to make it through my lovely wife's brilliant idea!!

Ha I do hope not!! It's all sorted now :-) went to bed last night thinking of the different things I can do (that don't cost me a fortune)

Anyone going to a local launch event?

5x50.co.uk/events

I'm thinking of going to the local one on Sunday morning, but will need to see what the rest of the family are up to that day.

None near where I'll be on Sunday unfortunately. I will be at the bottom of a steep hill on the North Downs (Almost 1km of 10% slope) - maybe I'll walk up and down it - I don't think I could run all the way up it yet! Mmm, to do 5k, I'd need to go up and down it 2.5 times. We'll see!

I've just looked and there is nothing near by me!! Unless I go into London or Wimbledon!! I used to live in Wimbledon too opposite the park they are doing it in x

I checked the stats for the 2012 challenge and the top 5 biggest teams ranged from 174 to 38 (WW had 39!) so wouldnt it be great if we could be in those stats for this year!! :) That would be a great plug for C25K! Hey, maybe some of the Admin team on here could join too...... ;)

greenlegsGraduate in reply to SBG356

Have you sent them a message about it? Not sure how often they read posts on here (there are loads of other communities they look after). I think that's a brilliant idea! NHS-editor person appears to be doing the stretch and flex exercises I think...

I did! ;) Maybe you could add your two penneth worth too.....

Also, before I left work I was checking and it seems there are only 2 teams with more than us in the challenge - one has over 100 but the other with 45 is Team Weight Watchers - surely we can beat them?! We are on 43.......

I have also sent a message via the directory, in case he doesn't read the forum messages.

Fingers crossed!

I have copied my "challenge" as a message to all 3 in admin. Lets see if we get any replies between us!

No events near me either, sadly. Will have to drag the hubby out on a 5k walk, if I promise him a pub lunch at the end of it, he might just come!
