I had meant to be back sooner, but life - mainly my busiest week at work EVER - kinda got in the way.
I have been meaning to tell you for the last week that.....
I have signed up for a race :)
And I'm so excited. It's my first race since May 2010.
And it's in 8 days.
Initially I was a bit nervous, my last 'outside' run wasn't hugely successful. So I decided to do some 'indoor' training on the treadmill, just to try to get my running fitness back. Then on the weekend, success!
Bam, 5kms! And you know what? It wasn't overly hard. Although it wasn't overly fast...
So the plan from there was to run on the treadmill a few times this week at lunch time. That hasn't happened yet, hello 10 hour days with no breaks!
Plan B will be some very early visits to the gym for the next two days, a day off on Friday, then I'm on holidays so it will be 5.5km on Saturday and 6km on Monday with my brother in law (who is entering the race too), a rest day, then race day.
The race is 6.5km (hence the '1.5 to go' title), but I'm sure it won't be a problem, especially since it is all downhill :)
Wish me luck!
Though I'm sure I'll be back before then.
P.S. 5 more sleeps!!!! Are you excited about Christmas? I am. I'm getting various sized dumbbells for gifts :)
oooh that race sounds awesome!!! The last 1.5 will be no problems at all for you! Just think of it as less than 10 minutes :)
