Overview

Hi there!  For years i've shunned any kind of excercise stating many various excuses but 5 weeks ago i bit the bullet.  My first  time out 'running' was a shambles could barely walk or breathe let alone run!!!  Five weeks in and i'm loving it. Go out 3 times a week, early doors (5am!!!!!! ahhhh) just me and my music. Can jog/run for 25 mins now without stopping - i know hardly alot but i'm proud of me.  Going to keep increasing pace and would like to take part in a 5km run by end of year.  I love running in the rain (cools me down and hides the sweat -yuk) which is great cos we get loads in England. So if ever you see a fat girl running give her a big smile and blow her a kiss.

This time next week.....

First of all a HUGH WELL DONE to all of you who did the GNR today, your fantastic.

My own personal challenge of a mere 5k is looming (next sunday) i keep tellin myself, this time next week it will all be over and my humilation will be complete. 

Went out running on Thurs and totally lost the plot, just couldnt do it, even if you'd put a large pint at the end the enthusiasm just wasnt there, it's not boding well is it.

Well head down for me now, just off to punish myself on the x crosstrainer for the amount of alcohol i consumed last night....not great for pre-run training oops.

Queenie x

Don't fret - it seems to be compulsory to have a completely cr*p run in the week running up to a race, especially your first race. I had one before the RFL in the summer and everyone told me not to worry and I was, indeed, fine (other than nearly throwing up 200 yards from the finish but that was THE HILL'S FAULT!) You watch, you'll run a belter. I have faith.

It is our tough training sessions that give us the strength for the event ... even if they are tough through self-inflicted conditions ;-)

Good luck with the event ... just enjoy it! You'll probably find a lot of people in the same boat and the event itself lifts your performance.

Cheers!
