I"ve somehow managed to sign myself up to run a 10k. Had a great run today, covered 6k for the first time, in 38mins, and decided Id sign up for a run somewhere. Found one quite close at chilham castle near canterbury on the 21st of october. It had a choice of 5 or 10k and as I was still full of myself I chose 10. Bugger. Now Im bricking it. Ive got just under seven weeks. Oh heck!

Ooh, I saw that run. Graduated yesterday so not sure I could do a 10k in 7 weeks. Thought I'd try to build up to it and just aim to be ABLE to do it by October. Have you had a look at the bridge to 10k programme? Good luck tho, let us know how you're getting on.
