Got home from work. Opened my mail - usual rubbish & bills AND this! Race day is 20th September. 1st 10km race for me. My aims are - don't chicken out, don't fall on my a**e, don't have a heart attack or stroke or worse, do finish in about 1 hr 20 minutes, do enjoy it, do bore for England talking about it afterwards ☺

Oh I wish I was near. I would join you!! I just did my first 10 k run last night in exactly 1 hour 20!! I now have that I need a race feeling but am petrified too!!!! Xx

[Sharonb9999 Graduate]

I have been a bit anxious/excited about it and this turning up bought it all home a bit more. I will be very happy indeed if I get round in 1hr 20. I looked at the results for last year and I know that I'll be one of the last one's across the line - but y'know I'm still amazed that I can even think about doing such a thing! Well done on your 10km too!!

Woohoo I hope you have great fun. I read an article recently that said the best places to be in an event are at the front or at the back. The crowds get behind both. So Your in a great place at the back. I loved the feeling of not having many behind me and just going for it for me. Remember the most important thing is to have fun. Happy running.

Good luck and have fun!
