Crazy weekend coming .......

On Saturday I am running in the Edinburgh 10k. I say running it'll be more if a jog with bits of walking. I'm aiming to do it in 1hr 15 but it's so hot!!!

If that wasn't challenging enough.....

Sunday I am running leg 2 of the marathon relay! OMG I need to stop agreeing to things! Somebody couldn't make it due to injury so I volunteered (I don't know why, I wasn't even drunk!!) It is 5.6 miles, I know I can manage the distance but running 2 days in a row in this heat is going to be insane!!!!!!! :)

More worrying is that I am not at all nervous, I'm actually excited!
