    @stloney Hi, yeh thanx I got the runners world n subscribed to mag plus downloaded a training plan. Went for the intermediate due 2 my lack of speed n experiece at this distance. I'm interested in the runnin gel ? I bin takin dextrose tabs on my run n take 1 after 2hrs n 1 evry half hr after but they make me gag a bit !!! r u tryin out the lucozade sport as the drink they r using this yr ? I'm thinkin of givin it ago. Training is difficult in this weather but I managed my long run Sat. Did 22 mile but struggled due to the conditions n not my greatest attempt !!! I swam the following day n it felt fab n I'm sure it helps with the twinges !! Did a 5k very slow n easy again due to ice this morn. Have my training plan 2day but I also contacted our local Harriers runnin club who meet tue n thurs, definately the stretch I need cos I cant push my speed at all !!! Not sure I'm good enough 4 them n feelin scared although they have corresponded n seem very friendly bunch which is exactly wot I'd been told ! Thanx 4 encouragement for my time 4 10k , still not convinced I'm up there ! ha ha !

Meanwhile I contacted the local Harriers club n I am tryin 2 be brave enough 2 go !
