And it's for charidy

Bit worried about weather forecast...... :o

Mystic, wishing you all the best for Sunday......I am totally useless at running anything over about 100 yds, so am in awe......

...good luck, we will raise a warming glass to you and the cause.... :)

Post by: mysticmog on December 21, 2003, 19:42:21

I did it!  And it was orrible.  But not snowy, which is good, but really really really cold.....winds blowing across fields into me face as I tried to climb small mountains (gradual hills...felt like mountains) - grimaced me way through and made it in 1hr 3mins, which is a pants time for me but what the h*ll, I DID IT...AND with nipples like chapple hat pegs!!

1/2 marathon sounds less like fun now though.....

Post by: busy_lizzie on December 21, 2003, 20:32:34

Congratulations Mystic, I was thinking of you this morning when I saw all the sleet and snow here.  Its very cold and windy here too, so I wasn't envying you, but you must feel a great sense of achievement.   :D busy_lizzie

Title: Re: My first 10k run
Post by: mysticmog on December 21, 2003, 20:54:25

Think sense of achievement was drowned out by screaming calf muscles.

Actually was thinking of you loverly lot on the way round, and all goodwill, so you really did make a difference as didnt want to let you all down by being all defeatist and hitching a lift back to the finish  :D

Thanks for all support - you're much appreciated..

Now if someone could only massage me calfses I'd be happy bunny...

;D
