Thought I'd blog my attempt to run a 10k, or as I like to say, half a half marathon.
The date for the StHelens 10k is early March and a non cycling friend has pursuaded me to have a go.
I read the Run Fat Boy Run thread and thought I'd follow the Couch to 5k format hoping that my cycling fitness will help me reach the 10k distance in the same training period.
I downloaded and printed the regime, bought a pair of trainers and intended to start this morning at 6am.
I overslept !!
I missed my first target which was simply "starting" !
I took another look at the shoes bought and spotted a flaw so, in a way, did myself a favour. Shoes going back, new ones ordered and a warm up run planned for Saturday morning using my old shoes.
Bet ya can't wait can ya!
