Well I'm signed up for the Wakefield 10k run in aid of the hospice. Been following my training plan but it didn't ask me to run 10k till the day of the race. I was worried about the embarrassing image of a 61 year old woman floundering on the floor, red faced and breathing heavily, so I decided, right or wrong, to do a test run. So 9.1K in 1hr 15mins later I felt really pleased and happy now that I can do it, not very fast but at least without leaving my watching grandson scarred for life! So bring it on!!!

Wow! Way to go Towzer. That's the spirit. I can understand your wanting to test the water and do a run beforehand. At 56 I've just done my first 10 k. Out on the trail, not in a race though. I didn't die. I thought I surely would. LOL

I hope your training continues to go well and that on the big day the floundering, red faced, puffed out middle aged lady on the floor won't be you. You'll be the one leaving your grandson in your wake.
