10k... wine tasting run???

So tonight an old friend came for dinner. I cracked open a bottle of champers and because she was driving I drank most of it...

I appear to have booked and paid for my first 10K race with a friend who doesn’t run. The good news is we have until mid-July to train and there are wine-tasting breaks in between the running...

We aren’t going to break any time records (we put 75+ minutes in the estimate) but it should be a giggle!

That's what drinking on an empty head can do 🤣 (Northern !)

Mid July...plenty of time to get your friend up and running .

That sounds like some event. Your non running friend needs to start c25k soon or is she doing the wine tasting and you do the running😂😂🤗

She suggested that as a training plan but I soon put her right!

I’m not sure she will ever come for dinner again 😂

I see a need to train in all aspects of this run. Perhaps you need some buddies for the tasting part? And I can loan you a sun hat.... 😄🤣 Sounds fab. Best reason to do 10k I’ve heard yer. 👍🎉🤸🏾‍♀️

😂 yes, training for this = 🍷 + 🏃‍♀️ should be fun and there will be no time pressure; I’m not going to ditch my drinking buddy on the way round!

It’s nice to think that sips of wine are part of our training plan 🍷🤪

TailChaser Katnap Windoze and I did one of these in Leicestershire last year. It was great fun, but boy was that vineyard hilly! Trying to knock back wine at the “water” station without stopping was interesting too 😂

Oh my Lord! We were imagining more of a leisurely stop and sip and swig at each wine station!

Very sensible idea! Some on ours were almost partying, but there was also free wine tasting at the end 🥂

Fab how exciting! See, a bit of champagne can do you good - bet it’ll be one of the best things you’ll ever do!

Wine and running...my two favourite things!!! you've got plenty of time to get your non-running friend out of the door and she shouldn't take much persuading with this one surely?!! I can't wait to hear all about it!!!
