I know others who read this blog are training for a half marathon and can run far further than me but I'm proud of myself for these two running achievements.
1. On Sunday I ran for 40mins and my distance was 4.5miles. (At 29mins 08secs my endorphins kicked in and I actually began to enjoy myself.)
2. The Sunday before I went for a short run and managed my best times for a mile
my first mile was in 8min!!!!!!!
my average speed per mile was 81/2mins!!!!!
I'm going running tomorrow after work (unless its a really hot day and then I'll leave it till Friday morning) so lets see what I manage then.

No I'm not Scottish / Welsh / Canadian / American - I'm NORTHERN IRISH
Today I someone said to me
"Its obvious you're Scottish, but which area are you from?"
A few weeks ago when a friend arrived at the house the kids down the road said to him
"we don't know who lives there, but they're Welsh!"
A while ago when I had to show my passport as proof of id in my building society the cashier said
"Its a Canadian passport then?"
And years back when on my gap year I was asked
"you're not from these shores?"
I replied no (because well I'm not from England so technically not the shores in the country we were in at the time) and the next question was
"so what state are you from?"
