………so seeing as I have signed up to run the Liverpool Tunnel 10k at the end of May I thought I’d strap on my running shoes and try running a 10k route round the very sunny and lovely West Kirby and Caldy.
Mapped out my run this morning with the help of www.mapmyrun.com very handy little tool, tells you exactly how far you are going to run, so you can work out your route before hand and know just how far you’re about to subject yourself too!
So I subjected myself to 10k (6 miles for those of us that work in old money!) …..boy was it hard work today, some days running seems so much harder than the time before, so I chunnered and moaned at myself for the majority of the way round & totally surprised myself by running it in 1hr 6mins……blimey I think I might be actually getting the hang of this running lark?!
There was a wee bit of walking in amongst the running but as much as you want to walk, your legs and your head win and you end up running again very soon.
So I’ve have taken the very first step to upping my mileage each week, will do 4.5miles on Wednesday with our CRAP little running club and then another 10k next weekend.
Paula Radcliffe look out!!!!……….well always best to be prepared for success! ;0)
