10k countdown...

[summergurl]

Well done on the 4k chick
How long untill race day?
There is no problem at all in having to stop and walk for a few seconds during a run - I did 3 times on tuesday on my long run and will probably do so in the actual race.

I keep getting told that the crowd will get you through the tough times so stay focused and remember why you are running - that charity xxx

Well the race went well and opened my eyes ! ive been training on tread mill along with running a flat route but today's route had hills and they killed me so i have too change up my routine a little!

I done it in 36mins i seemed to be one of the slowest runners but i dont mind i was happy to just finish!! now i just need to pull up my socks and get ready for the 10k in 3 weeks!! :wave_cry:

 

[irish molly]
