10k!!

[runningjewels]

Hi folks, Just thought I would add my latest achievement. Im afraid I deserted Laura after 3x25 minute runs and concentrated on lengthening my running time. I then started tracking my distance and built on that each run and last saturday when I would have graduated c25k I ran my first 10k! Why? Well Im entered in a 10k run on sunday for charity so kind of had a bit of a time limit. I felt I needed to see what 10k felt like and quite expected to walk for some of it but I just kept going and managed 10k in 1hr 15 mins. Really pleased with myself and feel much better about the run on sunday too.

I have to say that if I can do it then anyone can. For anyone struggling I find a definate goal/event really helps to motivate and Ive raised over £200 for my chosen charity x

Good luck at the weekend. I ran my first 10k race in April and really enjoyed it. Have now signed up for the Cheltenham Half Marathon!!
