Be happy for her Tan (through gritted teeth if necessary) and rest assured there will come a time when YOU could do a na na na na na .. but you won't because you will have the moral satisfaction and know that the universe has done its' job xxx

It doesn't mean that she'll be any faster than you over a distance Tanya so don't worry......she might not even be able to run the full 1/2 marathon!
Harriet has suggested that you try Fartlek interval training, it's worth a try...
Anyway, think how much you've achieved so far, could you have even imagined that you'd be able to run at all a couple of years ago? You've done brilliantly, don't let her get you down..

I did let it get to me - ran 3 miles in 37mins thats just over 12mins a mile. Absolute crap! I kept checking the time, i couldnt relax blah blah blah.
I am happy for her but it just annoyed me she put it on fb and then texted me to ask if i had seen it when she knows i sleep in the day! Doofus!
How can i run just over 11min miles on a 6mile run but a short 3miler seems to take me longer?
I try to pick up my pace on my short runs but i just can't seem to do it *stomps feet* :giggle: I think im panicking cuz they take down the road blocks, the finish line etc after 2hr 30mins and i want that time and im nowhere near it yet!

Will you stop panicking! You have weeks of training left, you are going to lose at least another stone between now and then and there is absolutely no way that it is going to take you 2 1/2 hours, I promise you that!
You'll have noticed by now that you have good and bad days, there are so many things to factor in, what you ate the day before, what you've had for breakfast, how well you've slept........all sorts of things, some of which you have no control over.
But you do have control over your attitude! So come on, positive mental attitude, you can do this and you will do this, with a big smile on your face too.....

Tanya, well done on your loss this week. It's all going in the right direction whilst still being able to enjoy life. Set your own goals for running. Your friend can't touch you for achievement when you consider your weightloss journey. Now, that was determination and focus in equal measure.
