2 minutes is massive off a 5k. Well done Worthy.
In my case, bit like doubling the high jump bar from 1ft to 2ft... :-) Plenty to go at. :-)
I'm really impressed, Worthy. Let me know when you fancy a waddle round the PR.
May the bridges I burn light your way

Don't knock it. A pb is a pb. When you see progress you want to do more. You're not gonna turn into HG overnight!

No one ever mentioned this malarky could have such dire consequences...

I shall also be in attendance, but from a spectators perspective. The back injury finally appears to be on the mend, but my calves are properly fooked. I sense another visit to LE's cousin coming on! :mrgreen:

Looking like a good turnout. I'll see see if I can tempt my portly housemate along. Come on worthy it's perfectly acceptable to walk large parts of it. Or shout abuse on the sidelines and then eat your bodyweight in buffet breakfast!

Kinky bastard!

Are you the reason she hasn't returned my text? :spank: Or is it the restraining order?

Didn't make it to the PR in the end. Lost my barcode and the printer was out of ink and then I fancied a lie in anyway but did a 12k run in the afternoon which went well after a pretty crap week of running. The humidity seems to be agitating my asthma. I have also now lost 4 1/2 stone since the start of the year. :pissed:
