Im not sure if you’ve noticed but I am joining the Pink Army this year and running for Race For Life. I signed up to do a 10k run and am only a few weeks off my Race day now. In my bid to gain sponsorship I am offering any family/lifestyle bloggers the chance to have their badge posted on my sidebar for one month for every £5 they sponsor me.
If you are interested my just giving page is here and just drop me a note below. Thanks.
I am actually feeling really good and ready now.
A few weeks ago I was complaining to my Husband that despite doing lots of running and being able to run 10K now, I just wasn’t getting any faster. He told me I wasn’t trying hard enough or pushing myself either….harsh but turns out it was true.
On Sunday I went for my usual weekend 10k run and after about 3ks thought to myself I’m going downhill now I really ought to run a bit faster than usual. Then later when on the flat I did the same. At the end of my run (the final 1.5K) I ran like mad. The result? Well I only went and knocked 5 minutes from my fasted time bringing it to a much more acceptable 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I am aiming for an hour and 10mins on race day but who knows? At least I know I can go faster than I thought and after all I couldn’t even run 2ks back in February.
I will be running with my very best friend Sarah and in memory of my lovely Grandad. I’m actually really looking forward to it now.
