Whoop whoop
When I was in the pub with Helen after our traumatic experience on Wednesday night, she said she was thinking about doing the Ashford 10k. I said ooh, that’s near me, aren’t there any 10ks in London? and she said no, not in the Spring and she wants to do one as part of her marathon training, and so I said come down for the Ashford 10k then, and I’ll do it too.
Today I was wondering if it was such a great idea to enter a 10k that is only three weeks away, seeing as my training’s not been up to much for about, um, 18 months, so I went out for a run to see what I could I do.
And I did 3.76 miles WITHOUT ANY WALKING BITS and yes, it was a pathetically slow 3.76 miles but it means that a 10k in three weeks is not completely impossible.
Yay.

you can do it
Yay! You can do it and anyway I’ll be slow too, so we can both be slow and then we can drink beer because hardened athletes like ourselves must replenish with ladylike pints of beer.
I will double check that date and email you!
Sounds like a grand idea.
a slow 10k can be quite fun.
You’ll do it easy! It’s so different on race day to a run in the park, the excitment and adrenaline! I love racing 🙂
Nothing quite like the feeling you get crossing the finish line 🙂
Good luck,
