Thanks shazzabir, if I am honest I am really nervous about the race, I have only told about 5 close friends I am doing it. Hardly slept last night!! I know physically i can do the distance as I have run 9.5K the last two weekends but I have this niggling doubt in the back of my head that I am not going to finish or I will be last or make a fool of myself in some way. It is really a mental thing.

I will let you know how I get on - fingers crossed I make it round the route.

500 miles, wow, that is absolutely briliant

Oooopps almost forgot to update the 3 miles I did last night.

We are very lucky here in ireland as we have not had any of the frosty snowy weather you are having in the UK, it is rather mild, so I have no excuses!!

You'll fly it Fairymairy, you'll get caught up in the buzz during the race and before you know it, you'll be finished People walk these things, so you definitely wont be last. Best of luck. x

5 miles for me this morning. Really wanted to cross the 500 mile barrier but didn't have enough time. Next run will be Monday and planning on 10 miles.

I need to get a good long one in. (a run that is!!)

Wow! You are all doing so well! I read this thread daily. Keep thinking I will get running again but my knee says it prefers cycling. Doing a lot of miles :-) keep going everyone!! X

I totally agree Fairy, you will be fine. I think most people new to racing have those concerns. I will probably start having those thoughts in a week or so before my race. I have 28 days until my half at Silverstone. I am pretty gutted I cannot run outside, but the paths are still covered in snow, so not worth the risk of slipping.
Fantastic Clavicles!!! So close to 500!!

Nice to hear from you WG! I'm sure you're doing lots of miles on your bike :-)

Just to update

Well I survived my first ever 10K race - Didnt come last!!! have to say it was tough enough , the course was going uphill for the first 4K, so I took it easy and combined it with a bit of walking. I wont break any records on my time but I finished the race running towards the finish line. To think that 6 months ago I could barely run 1K never mind 10K!!

thanks to you all for the good wishes, I'd better update my milage here.....
