How exciting, my number for the Manchester 10k has arrived. I have tried to put a photo on my post but it wonโ€™t let me ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Having managed 9.3k last week (I went slightly over the planned 9!) I really feel Iโ€™ll be able to run the whole course which is my goal.

Two weeks today!

Good luck for your 10K run Glossy, not sure it's on TV this year as it was broadcast last year, any idea about that?

They usually show the start if someone famous is doing it donโ€™t they

Will see you there Glossy! I too was very excited to get my number the other day - it feels very real now doesnโ€™t it?! Iโ€™m nervous but excited.

Your 9.3k should set you up nicely for the run a fortnight away.

I finished Ju-Juโ€™s plan a few weeks ago so Iโ€™ve run 10k just the once.

Iโ€™m sort of faffing about a bit now, trying to mix up a few times and distances, donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m doing it the right thing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Sounds like youโ€™ve timed your training to perfection!

See you in the green wave!!!

Ah Iโ€™m purple wave!

I think it was luck I finished the plan with perfect timing.

Ah, not sure how they organise the โ€œwavesโ€. You must be faster than me - I think green wave is maybe green for a reason??

Yes, itโ€™s all about speed. Iโ€™m afraid mine was massively over-estimated so I probably donโ€™t deserve to be purple! I suspect it will take me around one hour 20 ish

Yes, we had to predict our time so early that mine was guesswork too, but Iโ€™m around your pace too, so our paths may cross after all!

Hope we all have a great day. ๐Ÿ˜€

Very exciting indeed! I'm rather jealous but I promised myself I wouldn't do a 10k until properly ready and I'm a few weeks behind you in prep. :) You will be just fine, I'm sure - the excitement of race day will propel you the extra few hundred metres.

Have a wonderful 10k... sounds like youโ€™ll be more than ready to run it all.

Enjoy a couple of weeks of happy running to that new milestone.

Iโ€™m hoping to get down to the event at some point and do some cheering after junior parkrun duties nearby.

Exciting! Looks like there will be a bit of a healthunlocked posse at Manchester on the 19th, you, Cazza26 , Jay66UK , and paul1960 , what a great bunch, you should tell roseabi then she can add you to the events list on the Marathon and race support forum - then youโ€™ll get a โ€˜shout outโ€™ on the forum, pom-pom waving etc.,

Good luck all, ......(iโ€™ll be doing a 10k round a National Trust site...Hoohaah Wimpole 10k)
