Prepping for my first 10K

[drl212]

Hello All,

Gearing up for the London Winter Run this Sunday. I signed up for this before my stress fracture and have known that I wouldn't have time to get back to running the entire event. I've been concentrating on Jeff'ing during my weekly parkruns and it's been going well. Made a few runs over 5K in Jan/Feb so I think I'm ready.

The foot seems to be doing well (touch wood) and even if I have to walk a good portion, I'm really excited to get back. Sounds like it will be a terrific event.

And the bling is pretty good, too...

Enjoy the atmosphere. You will have a ball. And don’t worry you will be in good company, there will be plenty of people jeffing along with you. Just make sure not to injure yourself. I’m jealous, would love to be running that one myself.

Thanks!! Really looking forward to it and definitely will stop if anything untoward happens.

Good luck for Sunday drl212 👍. There are quite a few of us doing this one (myself included), so HU will be well represented! I ran it last year and really enjoyed it - well organised and BIG! Take your time and enjoy the day as this one attracts every kind of runner and is just a fab celebration of running! Yes, the bling is wonderful too!😍🏅

LOLOL! Thanks!! I am going to go slow and steady for the entire event! I'll just be happy to cross the finish whether its a run, jog, or walk...

This will be my biggest event ever, I think.

I'm in the last wave and need to rush off afterwards to rehearsal, otherwise it would've been great to meet up with some of my fellow HU'ers.

All best to everyone who's going...
