This time I could eat and sleep!
So much pain now, can barely walk. Hobbling around town for new year eve drinks was not fun
Well done chick! That's a fab time. Shaving 44 mins off is phenomenal!!!

I still cant run a mile without stopping in training, on race day its different. everyone around you encourages you to keep going!
not for that one, its a very hilly one. ill be lucky to do 5.5 hours in that!

Hi Forever! Don't worry about it, i can't yet run a mile without stopping. My first marathon is in October 2014 so i've got plenty of time but even if i have to run/walk it i don't care so long as i finish. Jeff Galloway (check out his website or even better his book) advocates regular walk breaks in all running distances to help keep people healthy whilst running and his system has even helped people run sub 3.30 marathons so its quite good. I have a copy of his book and its a really good read. Keep us updated on your progress
Been out for a run/walk today. Did 3miles in 45mins ish. My OH said it was 41 but i clocked 45.... Either way will be out for the parkrun on Saturday.

I did walk some of that, not much it was more of a slow crawl but a little walking in there.
the fastest guy won both days, first day 2hr 36mins, second day 2hr 55mins.
ill be doing both days next year, I wont do that fast but there no time limit on this one, its more about finishing on it!

I'd love to do the Disney marathon and a half at some point in the future. Will need to hone my marathon skills first though as the marathon has a cut off point. I assume the half does as well. Perhaps i should consider the Liverbird marathon and a half in the future as a test run.

liverbird is great! the organiser kaja is lovely.
think the last one to finish took 7hr 48mins! so very big time limit. its a cheap one too, but do supply your own drinks and be prepared for the bad weather. I got lucky doing day 1, the guys doing day 2 got it bad.

Oh no! I'd have hated that. I might have been tempted to stop somewhere on the way to the train and buy a new jacket!

I'm injured n feeling sorry for myself. Just getting back into it slowly whilst avoiding doing myself further damage. Need to clock miles but very slowly over time!

I did have a spare jacket in my bag, but the bag got drenched in the rain and everything in it. even the pot of porridge that had gotten broke on the way there.
porridge all over my clothing.

Trying hard 2014 : if I can run a marathon, anyone can! my next one is Bolton hill, all ive heard about that is its brutal and the first 4 miles is one big hill. that will be my first ever trail run.
after that one ive got an ultra marathon, the Oldham way ultra. 40 miles that one! its blackpool marathon the week after the ultra so I don't know how ill get on or even if ill be recovered fully.
