Eek! What on earth am I doing mixing with all these fit people??? How on earth I got to this point from being morbidly obese and too unfit to run for 1 minute, I'll never know...

Oh hang on... it was C25k!!

I don't apologise for getting you started. I am sure you will enjoy it today. Just take it slowly, don't be tempted to do anything you haven't already done (apart from a 10K race of course). We are thinking about you and look forward to your report later.

Part of me wishes I was there, but I will have to cut the hedge instead.

Go Pianism

Exciting! Good luck!

Hooray! Under 70 minutes... just (so 3+ minutes shaved off 10k PB). Would have done better but plantar fascia went funny and I had to slow right down. Very pleased with my line in the sand. :)

Good luck to you Pianism on running your first Alderlyedge10K, I am sure you will enjoy it, after you have ran it, report back here and also tell the administrators that you have ran your first 10K, after that you will see the word GRADUATE10 next to your username. 😊 🏃
