Oh go on, sign up, you know you want to! Plenty of time to train. And if you need to walk for a bit, who's to know in the dark?

I'm sorry, GJ, truly I am, but you come here and expect us to ***STOP*** you signing-up for something?! No chance whatsoever of that happening! I certainly won't discourage you; this is someone who signed-up for a marathon on a whim.
GlOw FOR IT! March is ages away and in any case, it will be more about the experience than PBs, something like that. I'm pretty sure you won't be the last one in!
Go for it.

GrannyJudes
If you feel that you wouldn't be able to do the distance non-stop - here is a good looking run/walk programme jennyhadfield.com/wp-conten... that might appeal to you.
I signed up for my recent 14K race , only about 3-4 weeks into C25K. At that time, I decided that I would do it run/walk and trained for it that way after completing C25K. But by the time I got to do the race, I started out doing run/walk ( modified by running down all hills) but basically mostly ran when I felt like it and walked for a short while when I felt like it. At my own steady pace, I completed the run satisfactorily - which I am sure you will too.
I also made sure during my training that I had completed the full distance a few times so that I knew I could complete the distance during the race.
You will be fine, we all have faith in you! GO grannyjudes!!
I'll be watching the "speed of light" 5k in Bournemouth, it looks like great fun, after my "Supersonic 10k "in 4 weeks! eek! not long now!
Didn't you post on here that you did 7k ? Very shortly after you'd graduated ? Of course you can do 10k, you are a very determined lady by all accounts and it sounds like SUCH FUN !! In the dark ! Glow sticks ? Torches ? It'll be wonderful. Enjoy the training !

See gj; I told you before you are my hero....and now you've proved it!!!
You're the one who can run for 60 minutes non stop already - and there are six months left to train for it. Of course you can, and will, do it!!
Glow in the dark too; it sounds magical

I am so glad that you signed up for it You have done 7K and it is not until next year (that sounds SO far away) so you have plenty of time to train. I have also signed up for a 7.5K run in the dark, 15th Jan, and am now finding it hard to think about anything else. It is so scarily exciting, isn't it.

I know exaxctly what you mean I seem obcessed !! But tbh the 7k was because I got lost and it damn near killed me, but yes, your right, I have managed it once
