Oops! Another race or two! 😀

What is it with needing a goal?😮 Today I have signed up for a flat, 'fast'(!), local 10k in November and the Surrey Half next March. This will be my second HM and is also very local to me - should keep me out there through the cold winter months!😕🙂!

Excellent! Sounds like a great target ... Good luck with those winter runs

Racing is a bit addictive isn’t it ☺️

It’s a good way of getting you motivated to head out through winter 💪👍🏃‍♀️

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

That's the plan - although I run better as it cools down anyway. Good luck with your runs, especially your marathon (so in awe!😃)

Wow Sandra well done. Winter training for a reason 👍

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Now you gave a plan to work to through the winter! 👍🏼

I have looked at the MK winter half - tempted but don't think I could be ready in time. Plus I always seem stressed in the run up to Christmas!😮 You are ready to do it though...🙂x

It's fabulous, do it 😁

[misswobble Marathon]

😁. I’ve got another two this year. A local 10k and a marathon 😬

A spring race means winter training. Keeps us out of mischief 👍

[Realfoodieclub Marathon]

Sounds great to me, I always have November to May as my distance and speed training and June to October as my stregnth training. I always do both but change the focus So I have heavier sessions in allocated training months.

Winter running is (mostly) lovely, well worth using it for an official goal!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

I love it when it is cooler and breezier (within reason!). I definately run far better in the winter.🙂

[Sqkr Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Me too, the good days are crispy and magical enough to outweigh the squishy ones! 🤣 There's something about breathing in the prickly air that makes me feel alive.

Good stuff Sandra!😊xxx
