[Generous Hypocrisy]

I hate doing these things but here goes:

I'm Kerry.
I've not been running for that long really, which is odd considering I've played netball for 10 years!
I guess I just wasnt' too into the whole being totally fit for it.

But this season I've been given the kick I needed. If I get fit I can play for the Superleague team.
Some incentive.

So I've been running for 10 weeks now. Losing 16lbs and going from 15mins for just over a mile to 4 miles in 45mins.

Obviously, more is needed and I look forward to speaking to you all about my progress, your progress and any tips & advice anyone may have!

Welcome to the forum !!

Well done to you on all counts great weight loss and nothing like an incentive to make you motivated .

Good luck with everything :d

 

[Steve]

Welcome GH.

Nothing better than having an incentive....good luck..sure you don't need it.

 

[twinkle toes]

Welcome to RF, sounds like you are doing great :d

 

[dimple]

Hello GH and welcome, good luck with your running:d

 

[Grant]

Welcome to the forum, you've made great progress. Keep it up!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Thanks everyone.
I just hope I can keep it up!

 

[Steve]

You will...every faith in you.

Keep posting and let us know how you are going...that'll be incentive enough to keep you on track!!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Thanks Steve.

I plan to.
I have my trials for the superleague next week so I'll keep you informed on that as well!

 

[Steve]

So what does the superleague mean?
Have to admit to a lot of ignorance here!!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Ok basically.
Superleague is the top tier of netball in England.
It's where all the internationals play plus a few players from Australia and New Zealand.
Its the pinnacle of the sport if you have no aspirations to play for England!

 

[Steve]

So if you get in you could potentially be an international some time in the future...and we'll be asking for your signature!!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

:lol:
Yes, potentially, but I seriously doubt that I have enough time to do that. I think I'll stick to just that league for now!

 

[Steve]

So what teams are in the top league..and which one are you GOING to get in?

I need to look out for the results........











........once I've read the footie reports of course!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Well the footie comes before everything else of course. I'll miss my saturdays in front of Sky Sports when I'm (hopefully) playing!

There's 9 teams next season. 2 London based - Hurricanes and Mavericks.
Team Bath.
Loughborough Lightning
Team Northumbria
Northern Thunder
Leeds Carnegie
Celtic Dragons (Cardiff Based)
and Team Scotland.

I hopefully will be one of the ladies wearing the yellow and black of Northern Thunder.

Oh, and it's televised on thursdays! :d

 

[Steve]

Who televises? Sky?

So what position do you play...Goal Attack?



Impressed with my knowledge aren't you...I can tell!!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Sky indeed.

Nah, being 6" 1 tall I'm a goal keeper. So I sort of stand there with my arms in the air!

Of course I am!

 

[Steve]

You're a blocker then...the enforcer!

 

[Generous Hypocrisy]

Yes!

A tough one too!

 

[richardsimkiss]

Northern Thunder eh? Sounds like a Geordie passing wind :embarrassed:

Best of luck with the netball... and even moreso best of luck with the running :d
