I did it, despite temperatures over 30!!! I had to walk a bit of it as it was just so ridiculously hot, but I finished in 37 minutes 42 seconds. So pleased with that as I have never run 5 km before and also I was expecting more like 45 minutes because of the heat. So glad I did it. The sad news is, my Godmother passed away today.  She is in peace at last.  Aunty Ann Wooley |

Thanks everyone, the funeral is on Monday so that will be tough.
On the more positive side, I have just signed up for another 5k race to see if I can run the whole distance this time. It's on 14th August and it's not a charity event so basically will be more competitive. I'll be happy to just finish but I'd be even happier if I wasn't last. We shall see.

It's my 5k race tonight! It's the third in a series of 3 and the times in the previous 2 were FAST.  I will definitely be at or near the back. It's all chip timed and results published on the internet so I will be able to share that link with you when the time comes.  Quite excited (and scared) and the forecast is for showers which is my favourite running conditions. Wooley |

Still going strong with the training, and under a month to go now so getting quite excited about the 10k run. I thought I would run it and that would be that, but running seems to have become a big part of my life now. Can't see me giving up any time soon  Wooley |

Well it's tomorrow, so please think of me at 10.30am UK time. I heard a weather report earlier during which they said there is a severe weather warning for torrential rain in the area where the run is. How delightful!! Having said that I do like running in rain, so I could cope with that if it is not too cold. I haven't actually run 10k before though, and I haven't been running much in the past few weeks due to colds and bugs... so it is going to be a real test. Wooley |
