Wokingham half marathon

So I have updated my pb section as last Sunday saw my début on the half marathon circuit. I didn't trouble the front runners - indeed I got lapped by Liz Yelling at 12 miles on her 'warm down' second lap...harumph!

However, I hit my target and all my chums achieved personal goals which is great! I had such a great day - the sun shone and my injury didn't flare up as I thought it would. Changing to new trainers did the job - the old pair are being binned asap. It's surprising how quickly they wear out and cause injury to wonky runners like me.

Now I'm focusing on my 10k target for The London 10k in July as well as taking a couple of weeks off running and getting back in the air. I feel the need for speed....and all that ;-)

Pictures to follow soon.

Thoughts for 2007

• Life is sexually transmitted.


• Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.


• Men have two emotions: hungry and horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.


• Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks.


• Some people are like a slinky... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.


• Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital dying of nothing.


• All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.


• Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred pounds, and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty pence???


• In the 60's, people took LSD to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.


• AND THE NUMBER ONE THOUGHT FOR 2007:
  
  
  We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in North America , but we haven't a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.
  
  
  Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration?
