contemplating something incredibly stupid

[grannyjudes]

I need someone to stop me, I am about to sign up for a 10k in March, a glow run in the dark. Please stop me I am an incredibly stupid and impulsive person and I dont think I will be ready aggggggggggggggg!!

[runningnearbeirut Graduate]

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?

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to runningnearbeirut]

thats my problem if I sign up I HAVE to walk, I am very foolhardy !

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to grannyjudes]

no I dont I have to run !!!!!!!

[no-excuse Graduate]

You just have to go for it GJ! It's not stupid at all. You will be ready by then! Sound like great fun-just sign up, go for it and enjoy! We're right behind you! X

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to no-excuse]

[poppypug Graduate]

Hey Judes , what would Freddie say hmm ? Yes , Don't Stop Me Now

You gotta go for it GJ, you will be fine and you will have a brilliant time , honest, promise, yes you really will xxx

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to poppypug]

you are so right, cant let the boy down !

[Miles_Yonder Graduate]

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.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Miles_Yonder]

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.

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

like the look of this Bazza, might just suit me, suddenlty I want to be out there every day, and nice its cooler during the day then I fI cant leave my bed at least I got rest of the day

[aliboo70]

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!

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to aliboo70]

that will creep up, dont we rock !!!!

[aliboo70 in reply to grannyjudes]

c25k-ers are a special breed! we def do rock!

[Hidden]

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 !

[grannyjudes Graduate]

yes henpen your right I did do 7k but a struggle and only did it coz I got lost !! and yes it does sound great fun , I THINK I am excited !!

[Amisnan Graduate]

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

[grannyjudes Graduate in reply to Amisnan]

It was the magical aspect that got me tbh and yes I can keep going for an hour but SO slow almost reverse !!! I tried the short fast step style other day, think I am going to concentrate on that

[beforefifty Graduate]

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.

[grannyjudes Graduate]

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
