How to train for a 10k

After working muscles I never even knew existed at the body pump class on Monday which left me hardly able to move all week, I dragged my marginally less aching limbs out for a run today.

And it was a completely feeble effort, but due more to me being lazy than not being able to carry on. Why am I always so lethargic on my days off? The 10k’s in about 3 weeks and I’m nowhere near being able to complete it although they haven’t cashed my cheque or written to me yet so maybe I’m training for nothing.

Ouch

Ow ow ow ow ow.  I went to a body pump class at the gym last night and now I am aching almost as much as I was last December after my first run, so no running for me tonight.  Think a hot bath is calling instead.  I have some wine too, purely for medicinal purposes you understand.

Here’s a cool search engine query instead:
malt loaf training

Huh?  How do you train a malt loaf?  And, more importantly, what exactly would you train it to do?  Weird.
