Found my boot clip
« on: 18, November, 2012 - 09:18:25 »
What a find, I lost one of my boot securing clips when on the Royal Run route last year and got a replacement, and I have been running about 3 miles along this route 2 or 3 times a week since July trying to loose a few pounds and get a little fitter, and to my amazement I found it right in the middle of the path after the grass had been cut along the edges, and its not damaged, so I now have a spare  :)

I'm only half way to my goal weight and not been running for a few weeks as had man flu, its been raining or other things, I do like a short run on a cold frosty morning (I never though I was someone who would enjoy running, but when the weight starts to come off you enjoy the results) two stone almost lost and two to go.

Hairy Dieters Cookbook, that's all you need :)

I lost 4.5st in 2 years but couldnt shift the last stone. 6 weeks on that diet and I lost it, and it's real food, not rabbit food :p

Can't say it's helped me go any faster or uphill any easier though :D
