I made a 10k run in a good time - 1:05. Given that I had the stomach bug from hell up until the day before and then I had next to no sleep the night before, I'm pretty chuffed with that. Factor in the fact that I'm actually a *really* slow runner and I'm nearly ecstatic ;) The plan is to just run for fun over the winter, do a couple more 10ks, then try and get a place in the GNR and train for it over the summer.

If anyone knows some nice friendly 10km races, please let me know. Especially if some of the participants hop round thecourse so I don't have to come last.

Orbital were also rather ace. I have tix for DJ Yoda, the Prodigy and Iggy and the Stooges over the next 6 months, so life is very good:))

Iggy and the Stooges over the next 6 months
Really? Wow! :D

I made a 10k run in a good time - 1:05.
You're awesome! :) xx

Iggy!!! Yeah - they're playing in London. We thought it was pricey, but it's right at the start of May so we're calling it Wedding Anniversary #1b.

And thanks - I'm right pleased with that, even though it's not that fast in grown up terms :P

Have you seen them before?
I saw Iggy at Reading Festival...he was awesome! :D

I think it's a pretty grown up speed hun from looking at half-marathon finish times of the various people who have posted theirs up on FB, they seem to fall somewhere between 2hrs 10 and 2hrs 30, no matter what their experience or fitness...double (ish) your time for just over double the length :)

Yes - at Reading! Maybe I was standing next to you? ;)

How mad would that be! *will now check her Reading pics**

:D

look out for a 7 stone crusty-goth with bright orange dreads + 6 foot odd Carl McCoy lookalike. That'll be us :)

Should all be reasonably close to you?

Oh - and if you fancy doing anything up my way, you're welcome to stop over.

Ooo - those look good... thanks! Especially the first two, which are both close and beginner-friendly. Theoretically I'm fine with being last, but most of the ones I've found I'd be like so seriously last it would be embarrassing.

Will also keep an eye open for Midlands ones - thank you! Let me know if you find any good ones your way, and also if you fancy any down here you're more than welcome:)

I don't think you've got anything to worry about if you're clocking 1:05.

If you're interested in training for a half, I'll be entering the GNR again, but there's also the Birmingham half a couple of weeks after that, which I may do next year.

I'd be interested in doing the Westen Christmas cracker, actually.

Really? It seems slow compared to all the speedy gonzales' at the front!

I'm definitely interested in going up to a half. Do you stay over for the GNR? And what would it be like doing two halfs in quick succession?

Christmas Cracker definitely looks like a good one. Have to sort out a relative visit, but I'll try and avoid that date.

congrats!!! I would be totally excited with a 1:05 10k :) Good job!

Really? Always seems slow compared to the grown up runners :)

They do a 5k and a 10k run in Northampton. Unfortunatly you missed it for this year. But if you like I'll let you know when it comes round again.
