A significant date! I ran (and walked) the Whissendine 6 this evening and it took me a massive 1 hour 11 minutes! 2o years ago it would have been just under an hour. Maybe 10 minutes extra isn't too bad for an extra 15 years!! I only walked up the steep bit of the hill through the village - from the 3 horseshoes to the church then ran all the way to the gamekeeper's cottage - over the three miles (all downhill). Then intervaled (slow incline uphill) using the trees as pointers until the 4 mile then ran (or rather by this time jogged rather slowly! ) on the downhills and ran and walked using the trees or the lamposts as guides on the uphill bits. Was v tired and got cramp badly later but I didn't drink enough water when I got back and maybe didn't warm down enough. But v proud of myself. Maybe i will do the race in the summer even if it does take me ages!!!
Can't do it every day though!! 4 miles is a good distance. Will try to stick to that now.
Discrepancy in weight this week - Saturday 12:0 and 1/4 Sunday 11:12 and 1/4. Next week all will be revealed!
Managed to get into -easily - my summer trousers - first time in three years! Got smaller clothes down from the loft as well.....

Well done Anne, it's those milestones that keep us going! I remember the elation of getting into smaller sized clothes and it certainly helped my motivation. You must be feeling great! Love, Maria.
