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:))

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.
