Did my first 10k today in 58 minutes after 7 weeks off the cigs (for you elder generation that's 6.2 miles :p)

Bad news all round today though, don't much feel like celebrating.

6.2 miles in 58 minutes is fantasic Kirstie! (I'm an oldie so can only think in 'old money' :D).

Sorry you're having a difficult day. Isn't it always the way that if one thing dumps on you from a great height two or three more will do the same? I hope that the weekend proves to be better and that you have some time to relax and enjoy yourself.

I bet running helps, though, when things are getting you down. I know I find that physical activity really does take my mind off things when I am worried or angry.

You're doing wonderfully well by the way :)

That's great news about the 10k :)

Sorry about the other things getting you down. x At least you know smoking won't make it any better.
