How long did it take you to do the marathon? Did you start training from no running experience? There’s no way I’ll be fast unless I uncover some secret talent I was previously unaware of. Which is unlikely. I used to run, but slowly and only for an hour. And I was about 6 stone lighter.

I need to drop some more weight before really going for the marathon stuff as otherwise I’ll hurt myself. Ideally I’d like an anti-gravity trainer, like the pros use after injury. I don’t understand why I can’t have one.

I really wish I could wake up early. I wonder why some of us are and others aren’t? Is it b/c of being in the army do you think? I can do 6am, but by 10pm I’m horribly tired.

Yes, I am. Considering how I can’t run very well right now. I’m not sure about the Great Manchester run now as it’s just before the tower2tower and I don’t know if I might be at risk of injury.

Three hours a day, you will be uber fit!

SOunds like a couple of fun events there. I love being able to say I ran a marathon even if it was really slow! I am not a runner either! I find running great for weight loss/getting fit!

A marathon? Are you mad? I’m resisting the urge to do the “snickers in one go” joke. Go you!

Great idea tracking the weekly achievements, nice way to look back on how far you’ll have come. – if that isn’t mixing up the tenses beyond recognition.

Keep going!

3 hours a day, wow!

My girlfriend is also doing the tower to tower ride.
This is something I would love to do aswell but there’s no chance I can raise the sort of sponsorship needed

That’s a fair few challenges Em, fair play to you and bloody good luck!.

I’m and early riser and an early to bed type of person. If I’m up around 0800hrs it’s a lie in and I feel I’ve wasted half the day! Not that the Spawn of Satan let’s us lie in ’til 0800hrs…

Go Emma. Exercise really is the key. I find it much easier to exercise if I make a plan too, I can’t stress how satisfying keeping a record really is either.

keep going, keep it up and don’t be afraid to ask. I’ll be rooting for ya.
