First Race Coming Up... and another on the horizon!

[HoagyM]

Look what arrived in the post today. I initially thought it had been sent to the wrong address, as it said “Dear Runner”, but no, it was for me 😉

This makes it all very real 😄

So 2 weeks to go now before my first ever race, the Cardiff 10k. Feeling fine about the distance, but the whole “race experience” is going to be very new. Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to it!

So much so that...

...I’ve also signed up for the Reading HM 🏃🏼‍♂️😳 😊 in March next year, to give me something to focus my running on over the winter. Longest run so far is 14k, but plenty of time to build up to a HM distance before then.

Exciting times 😀

Great next goal too HM and already booked. Fantastic Ian! 🙌🏼💪🏼👟🚀💥😊

Best of luck Ian, my first 10K is also on the same day (Sat 1st Sept) I’m doing the Bedford twilight 10k.

Have only run 8.1k so far - that 0.1 is very very important! Lol.

Good luck

Excellent! Ooooooh, so exciting isn't it!? How are you feeling, all prepared and raring to go? It'll come around fast. Good luck!

[HoagyM Half Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Yes, all set Sharron. Only thing we haven't decided is whether the three of us are going to run together, or each go for a fast time - I have one sister who is faster than me and one who is slower. If we run separately I'll be trying for a PB, but we'll see...

Brillant Ian.👍

Got it all planned and looking forward to hearing your race report.👍

Think if someone could pop me down on the start line and collect me from the finish line that would be magic.🙈😂

Atb to you, 💥🏃‍♂️💥🔥💨
