Bosshogg's Great North Run 2016

[piggieminder]

Glad to hear your knees are recovering, good luck with the training.

Well done Boss - sounds like you're well on your way

 

[BossHogg]

My first run took 35 minutes and 45 seconds. My second run took 33 minutes and 55 seconds. I must be mad, I was up at 7.30am and went for a run - on a Sunday! It took me 32 minutes and 36 seconds! So it's coming down all the time. My legs aren't hurting as much as I'm getting used to the exercise again.

 

[BossHogg]

31 minutes 50 seconds this morning.

 

[Lady Kelly]

awesome news! I managed my first ever run/walk that was over 5k last night. Very chuffed with myself but did struggle to do the shop in sainsburys afterwards lol

 

[BossHogg]

I was absolutely shattered! Still breaking in the new running shoes for the race.

 

[BossHogg]

Managed to get a good deal this morning, my local council is running a community fitness initiative, I've got 3 months gym membership for just £10!

 

[VickiA]

I have just sponsored you @BossHogg. Good luck.

 

[BossHogg]

@VickiA Thanks for your donation, it's greatly appreciated.

Had a good blitz in the gym this morning, little old fella in there said he was sweating just watching me!

Urgs, I hate it when men use that chat up line too

 

[BossHogg]

I think there's a massive difference between a pretty young thing like you and fat baldy sweaty middle aged man like me!

 

[katanamoon]

Did you have your special mankini on, Boss?

 

[VickiA]

Did you have your special mankini on, Boss?

Mind bleach NOW

 

[katanamoon]

Mind bleach NOW

Apologies - I don't know what I was thinking!

 

[BossHogg]

Did you have your special mankini on, Boss?

err no! That would have cleared the gym and got me arrested, I'd also get put on the register as the gym is on school premises!

Bumpety bump.

Boss will be taking part in the Great North Run, he's put a great deal of effort into the preparation for the event.

Anyone that can contribute towards donations can do so via Just Giving at: Read Tom's story he's not too far off his target, so it'd wonderful if we could tip him over.

 

[VickiA]

Please support our very own @BossHogg as he runs for the British Red Cross. He's nearly broken his body training for this event so let's make it worth his while and help him reach his target.

 

[BossHogg]

Only five weeks from today for the race - bricking it now!

You'll do brilliantly Boss - just think how far you've come and what you've achieved!

 

[Tim]

Only five weeks from today for the race - bricking it now!

Go for it!

 

[BossHogg]

I'll have to, with what I've raised on just giving and paper sponsor forms, I've raised over £900 for the red cross!

 

[Pawz]

Are you going to run it in the mankini if the weather is nice?

 

[BossHogg]

do you want me getting arrested for public indecency!

 

[VickiA]

MInd bleach NOW

 

[BossHogg]

it'll cost me more than the £900 I've raised so far to buy the bleach for the other 56,999 participants and the millions of spectators!

They could sponsor you extra NOT to run in it

 

[BossHogg]

Only 4 weeks to go! Including paper sponsorship forms and justgiving - I've raised over £900!

 

[VickiA]

That's an incredible amount @BossHogg. Hope your training schedule is going well.

 

[BossHogg]

I've been training five times a week, a mix of running and cardio training in the gym. I'm off to the gym for a couple of hours in the morning.
