That's bloody good work that is
On a similar note, I ran 5 miles this morning for the first time since last summer so am feeling all proud of myself an' shit. Congrats on your rowing achievements too BGB :-)

Thanks but I'm not going to make a habit out of it.

Why on earth not?
I find 5'10" women who could batter the fuck out of me rather sexy. As you would know, if you met the missus

Is there a video you can watch to encourage you to row faster?
An approaching shark / torpedo / Darth on a pedalo etc.

I've often thought this, if they put a zombie on a treadmill behind me I'd run a hell of a lot faster

I was impressed, yes
particularly as I have ridiculously short legs, I've never managed it before, and I was in the pub looking awesome within an hour of getting in.

How tall are you?
It takes me about 36 minutes to run 4 miles and I'm 5'11" so am gradually realising you're probably much fitter than me.

According to my GPS training thingie on my phone
It took me just shy of 38 minutes to run 4.34 miles. And I'm 5'3.

It was a personal best though; normally that would take me at least another 5-8 minutes.

Yep, you're fitter than me. Even the age gap doesn't make up for it
That's good work honey. Thank you for the encouragement!

Haha, al was trying to convince me to run that half marathon with you guys
it was inevitable I'd beat him but I don't want to embarrass both of you...
(plus, I also cycle 6 miles a day which helps with the whole 'fitness' thing)

If you dress as a plane the motif of the day would mean you'd have to stay behind us!
Although I don't think I can do the one on September 11th anyway now. I'd love to make a B3ta bash of a half-marathon but I'm guessing most of our lot are slovenly wretches

You should come and do the London one on teh 25th with me and DiT

Yeah I reckon I will mate
Let's try and make a big thing of it. Any B3tan who doesn't participate gets called fat. BY YOU.

I need to get me some proper exercise gear before I try anything remotely like that
Currently I tend to stop after around 5km due to chafing of my HUMONGOUS GENITALIA. I suspect some proper shorts and an athletic support and some hydrocortisone cream would be wise purchases.

Yeah yeah
We all know you lined the inside of your velour sex dolls' vaginas with sandpaper, just so you could get purchase.

That's plausible actually.
it's the weekend of the London tattoo convention which I was debating going down for anyway.

that's pretty fucking good
it takes me about 40 mins to run 5 miles and I'm supposed to be fit *collapses in hysterical laughter*
