      Well done guys.  Though it doesn't look like Jules is having the best time of her life….. 😉

        You're so right Giles.. I was in pain! Then he wakes up this morning and says, " Do you fancy doing the Bristol 1/2 with me?" [emoji30]

            I'm not shure where this belongs, so I put it here because I need to get it off my chest.

            My father died today because of cancer. We had a very distant relationship because he had never been a part of my life. Hell, I spend more time with my kids in a year then he spend with me in 41.

            Still, it makes me very sad, which is kind of strang for me.

            I was told yesterday evening, that he was in hospice now and wanted to visit him there today. When I called them this morning at 9:00 to find out how he was, because I wasn't shure if I should take a break from work and visit early or drop by after work. They said he is doing fine, considering the circumstances. One hour ago I was told he died surprisingly at 10:30.

            Even with all the emotional distance between us I am very sad I didn't have the cance to say farwell while he was still alive.

            Damn it, I need to go for a walk to get my head free.

              @Cole - grief and loss are complex issues. On top of this I imagine you may have felt rejected and abandoned by your father due to him not being available for you over your 41 years.
              My own father abandoned me and my mum when I was 18 months old and I have seen him only once when I was 32. Since then there has been zero contact between us.
              It seems easier for me to hate on him for not being there for me. I know he is still alive and lives in Carlisle England. If I was to learn he had passed away I dont know how that would leave me feeling.
              I understand your confusion Cole at this difficult time. Keep those you love by your side and keep sharing your feelings with them.

                Dear Cole, having lost both my parents now, my Mother in 2010 to Cancer and my Father in 2016,  both these relationships were difficult, complex and at times distant.. just saying, I hear you and sending feelings of empathy and healing your way x

                          After completing 4 half marathons in 8 months, of which two were run to raise money for charities, I have just entered the Plusnet Yorkshire (full) Marathon in York on Sunday 8th October 2017. This time I wont be running to raise money for charity, I'll leave that till next year. The furthest I've ever run is 13.1 miles so this is a huge jump for me at 26.2 miles however, there's plenty of training time ahead. I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew  :-\

                              . . . . . Working on doing a 5k myself, got 2 start somewhere . . . .

                              Go for it MM. I have exercise induced asthma and when me and Jules (who also has exercise induced asthma) started running back in March 2013 neither of us could run for more than 5 minutes continuously. I really encourage you to take on the challenge of a 5k as the benefits far outweigh the commitment, IMO

                              Here's a useful 5km training programme; http://www.barnardos.org.uk/challengeevents/training-5kmtrainingprogramme.pdf
