...like 100km races. I'm not fast but I'm determined!
Training is a bit like meditation (just zone out) but with scenery and wildlife to look at.

You are as bad as my daughter she runs marathons and her husband the Iron Man.

Well done you, that's fab, it's such brilliant exercise & calorie burner, but very hard to motivate yourself.
My other half used to be a fattie, he was 20 stone, (before we were together) he lost 7 stone & now keeps himself very fit, he's 6'4" & a big frame but can run a marathon in 3 hours & 27 minutes, he was beaten by a strawberry though :shock:

he put a bit back on as that was too thin for him, but he always has to fight to keep it off, he likes biscuits too much.

If I run, I get black eyes and bruised knees..

I hate Issac Newton. We ladies of a certain age were fine until he discovered gravity.

I ran once. It was 17th. August 1962.

No, seriously, what a couragous distance. Must be mind blowing.

I ran into a Bar once - really hurt - it was an iron one.

I've been thinking about 100k. What is it exactly that makes you want to run that far. I mean, it hurts, it must take pounds off you.
Is it personal or competitive challenge?
