Happy Sunday
May0120119:16 a.m.
Well, I suppose my 2012 VLM campaign has now begun. For this I have my daughter to thank. She has a new boyfriend who's one of those sporty types - you know the ones - he plays five-a-side, golf, cricket etc blah blah. Anyway, for some reason she started running about a month ago and began pestering me to go along with her - which I did. And then I remembered how I enjoyed it. And now her foot's playing her up it's just me out there on the tarmac. I'm only doing a two mile route round the village hall and the vicarage a couple or three times a week at the mo. My first goal is to be at 10k in under 55 mins by the time the ballot's drawn so if I do get a place I've a half sensible platform to work from.
For the record, I'm now one of those fatties with multiple lbs of lard to loose. If I'm honest I could probably loose three stones before being legally allowed in lycra again. This morning's run was conducted in an oversize polo shirt - it wouldn't be fair on the neighbours if I wore anything less - and if I did I'd risk getting taken home in the back of an RSPCA van.
On a different note, do any bloggers use an iPad to post? For some reason mine won't let me type in the post content window. It's ok in the post title window, but I have to type my post in my email programme and then copy and paste it into the realbuzz post content window. Any one else share this problem? Also, I'd be grateful if anyone could remind me how to get pics into one's post.
Oops, got to go and have a shower now, I can hear Mrs Gravy stirring. She'll be moaning at my sweaty body stinking the place out! Happy running folks :-)

Suziewee 'Sounds like you are in a similar place to me (although I only have one London medal in the cupboard!) I have just started running again after having a baby and am aiming for a 10k in the autumn. I too am carrying erm a certain amount of overweight ... best of luck with the training.' added 4th May 2011

simonedumergue 'haha - legal in lycra. Love it! I've kidded myself for the last two marathons that I would get thin by training for them. If I get in again, I am determined to cross that finish line slimmer than I am now and not to reconsume all the burnt calories back again. Glad to hear you are enjoying running again - have fun!' added 16th May 2011
