Post Whissendine 10k

I was so nervous about this and I was obsessed with the fact that I would come last but I didn't. My preparation paid off. To think that 6 months ago I could only manage 20 a couple of miles. I am feeling very encouraged and positive - very relieved that it is over but Steve Marriott has asked me to run in September for Cancer Research - the Belvoir 10k. So that is my next goal. A good race as it is for charity rather than just for self!!
Had lovely spa bath when I got home and now off to bed for a long lovely sleep.
I wonder ---could I do the London Marathon one day...just a thought?!

Whissendine 10k preparation

Eeeek! Only a day to go and I am dead scared! mind you this time tomorrow - I will be nearly finished. I did some hill training last week to get used to the ups and downs around here and then ran the 10k route on Saturday morning. I managed it really well - v pleased with myself as I ran the whole distance - planned how I was going to run each section - even the uphill sections - then managed to up the speed for the last 1.5k. I did it in 71 minutes so maybe i might shave a bit off that tomorrow. I am running with others from Melton Mowbray Baptist Church- 6 of us altogether. Mind you I will be in last! I hope they won't have cleared everything away before i get back to the finish line!!

Last week i weighed in at 11:03! Over the 2 stone now but I expect that I have put on a bit this week as I have been very naughty!!!!

Watch this space for an update tomorrow.
