Would somebody please motivate me into getting off me backside and doing my C25K run today ?
It's raining and cold outside, it is starting to get dark and it is so cozy inside...
I know I will feel better after doing it and I wont be cold once I get going, but I need a rocket up my arse or something please.
NNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW...
BOOOMMM!!!!
There. That's my best impression of a rocket.
Jeee whizz people... enough already. LOL
1 rocket was more than enough!!! What size Arse do you have me down as ?
Right I'm going, I'm going....
Paul
Let me tell you this - two rockets did not make it any easier actually going round - did somebody forget to light one....
That was very invigorating and quit affirming - I still am amazed my body will take 20 years of punishment from Cigs and is still willing to forgive me enough to let me run, I'm no Mo Farrah, but I'll do!
All our bodies are amazing things!

LOL - C25K = Couch to 5K - so about 3 miles done today - It is just a programme to take you up to the 5K - quite good fun... I wont be doing anywhere near 25K (15 miles) anytime in this lifetime without a set of wheels beneath me... In fairness I might eventually go for a marathon or something but I wouldn't want to make a habit of that I just think it would be very bad on your body - though probably not as bad as the smokes...
While I went round the park then, there was a guy on a bike, cycling, having a fag - even my chin dropped to the path - I assume he was in the park for Leisure/Health reasons so what's that about ? :confused:
Paul
Just a suggestion Paul, look for a 5k fun run locally and sign up for it; once I did one I've not looked back since, just completing it and getting my medal was such a boost. I did 4 miles (6.5k) last night for the first time as I'm now training for a half marathon in four months time....when I first went out at the end of August I couldn't do 200 yards without then walking for a bit 
My next run is in Ely, is that anywhere near you KK? I'd join the forum if there was one, it's helped me focus and stay quit! I do like running and wouldn't be able to if I smoked again....
25th of November...............£10 registration gets you a Santa hat apparently as well as a medal when you finish
AngryBear,
I have signed up for a couple already - 1 in January, 1 in May... Both in Edinburgh. Not sure if they are fun or serious but I'll be having fun at them. I have been watching your progress AngryBear and saw how much you enjoyed your successes and doing one for Charidee as well - very good cause 
What was that just giving link again ? Just to remind those with deep pockets ?
Just want to get a time, then look to improve it... having great fun just running for myself just now - this it maybe releases some of those brain chemical I got from smoking..I definately feel a bit delirious and happy while I'm running. I'm sure I look an attractive picture...
Might ask santa for some sweat bands just to get the image spot on.
:cool:
Paul
The Ely run starts at 11am or so I think in the market place it says? I haven't been there before.....
Popo, thanks for your support!

AngryBear,
So people could just click on that link to donate to a good cause and spur you on in your quit and dedication in memory of you late granddad and aunt ?
Seems so simple

Or Pm you for your PayPal details ?
Hehehhe. 
Good luck AngryBear keep us up on your training and final half marathon your successes will spur on me a few months behind you to keep at the running and I'm sure it will help get many more off the fags and couch.
Paul
Thanks Paul great support and it means a lot, my lad's been uploading more songs for my MP3 player today, it's all contributing, in a way I can't wait till March but then again I'm glad I've got time to lose a few more pounds so I'll have less to drag around the course......
AngryBear,
I'll be lucky to end evens by march on the weight front given the general Christmas greed that will consume me.
Much respect to you sir. You're ploughing on and just getting on with it. Hope I'm stood where you are just now... So keep at it.
Paul
Just did week5 day 1 of me couch to 5 thingy and have to say something feels like it has clicked....
Virtually no wheezing no shortness of breathe other than the healthy just ran kind... Something definitely feel different... Dunno If I have just hacked up sufficient bits now to expose a fraction more lung or if capacity is just generally increasing.. But Wow...well chuffed if this keeps up...
I still run at Kraft once a week now. But with the dark nights and the cold weather I'm doing more of my wii fit and Zumba
I wouldn't be so much in to running but would like to get back to the gym. At the moment I'm tied up with panto rehearsals but maybe once the show is finished I could take myself back to the gym. The good thing about rehearsing panto is that the amount of dancing involved will help keep the weight level. The gym should be easy after this lol
Shelley,
I agree the dark nights are not good... I'm thinking about switching it to morning time when it is a bit lighter or even lunchtime. But there is always something else needing done at lunchtime...
Anytime I have ever got the wii out I get a shot for 2 minutes then the kids are on it and I'm made to sit it out!
Mark...what panto you doing this year ?
"Jack and the Beanstalk". It's a good laugh and keeps me occupied over Christmas. I love it.
