Hello all,
It's great to hear everyone's updates and to hear how everyone's getting on. Even though I do the bulk of my training alone - it makes you feel part of something bigger (if that makes sense!)
I'm really looking forward to taking part in the 5k, it'll be the 3rd year in a row I've done this race. The race in 2009 really marked the start of my enthusiasm for running and for that I'm really grateful. The buzz at the event is fantastic and to be part of the St Georges team feels very special!
The race takes place 2 weeks before I run the 'Run to the Beat' half marathon - my first ever half. With that in mind I've been trying to get my mileage up and last night completed my first ever 10 mile run (1 hr 40 mins)- although the old legs are a bit stiff today I feel really happy. I even managed to run the second half faster than the first (the motivation to get home for tea cannot be underestimated!)
Hoping to go out and run a fast 5k at the weekend - can't seem to better my PB of 27 mins which was set at the St George's event at Springfield Hosp earlier this year.
Take care everyone and happy training :-)

Really glad to have you on the team Jen and a huge well done for completing your first ever 10 mile run. That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid that I'm not quite up to your standard, but hoping to go for a little run tonight and see how I get on.
I hope your legs have recovered by now! x
