I did not do treadmill running because at the time I didn't belong to a gym. I don't really like treadmill running either to be honest. I don't know if there are benefits or disadvantages but I do know that street running is probably safer than the treadmill for heavier runners (well, "know", this is what I've heard/read). it's pretty cold outside but if you layer up you should still be able to do it. Do you have a park near you? you are so welcome! I did not do treadmill running because at the time I didn’t belong to a gym. I don’t really like treadmill running either to be honest.

Should you and can you? Does it make a difference to the results?

I'm a total ham when it comes to photos - hubs looks really angry in his! He asked me "how come you are always looking at the camera and smiling, how did you know the cameras were there???" Well, hello! I'm a ham, I read up beforehand where the cameras were! haha! thank you so much! I’m a total ham when it comes to photos – hubs looks really angry in his!

I don't have a next race yet! and we do have some hills, just not as much as Nijmegen. But if you compared Arnhem to Amsterdam, well, we've definitely got hills! I am going to look at a few routes I can do maybe with the Hubs to get us doing a bit more hill training. thank you so much Fallon!

I have inspired you to start running? Yay!! So I did the <a href="http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/index.shtml" rel="nofollow">Couch to 5K</a> from Cool Running and eventually I used podcasts that told me when to walk/run. And when I started I weighed 99KG. So, I don't know where you are now, but just know that I wasn't exactly just a wee bit overweight. The great thing is, you can totally take your time and repeat weeks if you don't feel confident. I have to say though there are plenty of bloggers out there who have done C25K who were heavier than me. <a href="http://jewliagoulia.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Julia</a> is one that comes to mind. thanks very much! I need to sign up for another race to keep me having something to work towards. Really??? I have inspired you to start running? Yay!!

Really. the first one was a piece of pie! I love running over bridges - maybe you should come to Arnhem we can run over a few here. At least we have a couple you can do in a sort of loop that would be like 7KM or so. thanks very much, I'm really proud of myself (and hubs too!) :) haha well the hill pictured is NOT the first hill.
