If you run 3 miles a week for 7 weeks, you will end up 147 miles away.

No need to thank me.

Bam, are you 100% entered? I was just checking the participant list to make sure we're all on there and you're not. assume it's because you're doing the charity route but may be worth checking that they've def entered you

so - plan this week after tackling 4 miles for the first time on Monday was to do 3/4 miles Wednesday, same again Friday, then go for my first attempt at 5 miles today.

Wednesday I ended up not getting home from work til 9.30 after a 12+ hour day, knackered.  Fail.

Friday went out the window too having been up ill most of the previous night and Hannah unexpectedly (but in a 'nice surprise' way) coming home from a few days away with her dad early enough to spend the night here. 

Undeterred, but not overly optimistic, I still set out to do the five miler this evening.  It was tougher than the last run (probably due to lack of movement over last few days), and when the aches kicked it they didn't go away.  Pushed through though, and got it done in approx 50 minutes according to my technical timing system.  Can't afford anymore spanners though.

Little bit excited.

On a whim today I decided to look to see if there were any localish 10k races this weekend as I was looking at running 6 miles this weekend in any case for my 1/2 training.

found this one in Windsor:

nice flat course, so looked like a good bet, and I've been and gone and registered for my first ever race!

Hooray I did it!

that's two things ticked off today - my first proper race and my first time over the 10k distance.  Never would have believed a few months ago that I had it in me Smiley

It was the first time I'd run without music.  I also forgot to bring a watch.  No big deal really as I didn't have any time targets, just wanted to get round, and was expecting it to take around an hour.  There weren't any distance markers anyway, so not sure how much use a watch would have been to me. So I just did what I always do, ran at a pace that felt comfortable to me and it felt like I was running around my normal speed.  I spent nearly the whole race way up in the rear part of the pack, and I don't think there were more than a handful of people behind me when I finished, so I thought my pace must've been a bit slower than I'd anticipated.  

Gary had brought  Hannah along to watch and they met me at the finish line with the obligatory 'well dones'.  There was a bit of confusion over how long it had taken me.  Me: "that was really slow wasn't it? About 70 minutes?" Gary "No! It was about 51!" Me (ecstatic) "wtf!? wow - that must've been a fast field".  I then went to get my official time.  1.01.28.  Gary had forgotten the race had started at 9.20 and not 9.30 Grin  I'm dead chuffed with that anyway.  The half marathon seems like a massive step up now in just a few weeks though.

Nice one Clurr.

Like you said, time was irrelevant, and it was about getting round and finishing the distance.

Next target is the half, which is only two 10ks, and you know you can do 10K again so not a problem!
