Set myself a target for October

Hi

I have just done R2 of week4 and got offered the opportunity to run the Great South 10 miler in October. I used to run regularly about 15 yrs ago so setting myself a target to aim for.

Week 4 going really well so feeling really positive about the whole thing.

Up in Liverpool at the weekend so will go for a slow run around Sefton park and see how that goes.

Back home I will stick to the c25k program

What a co-incidence! Only last night someone asked me if I was going to do the Great South run in October. I can't think that far ahead at the moment. 10 miles is an awful long way for someone like me who's never been a runner. But if I do end up going for it, I'll post on here and perhaps we can spur each other on.

Nothing like a goal to stay motivated! keep posting so that we know how things go with training etc.

Go for it! Particularly as you're not new to running. All the best with it - keep posting to let us know how it goes :)
