How will I be able to run in this?

Due to bad knees not trained for my 10k by running! Having a walk around Ryton with daughter and it is boiling. How will I run in this?

Has this good beyond stubble?

I'm free...

Within 5lb of goal. Hurrah

Hurrah... What a loss!

Ran in (limped really) jumped on scales and 3 1/2 lbs off. Would have been 4 if I had not celebrated.

How many points?

Cinema with minimes Hannah Montana!

So long between posts.

Born to run!!!

Must say it was a very 'serious' race - which looking back on I probably wouldn't have entered if I had realised. Lots and lots of club runners (Not like my first ever 10k last year which was more on the fun than the race)

40:22 (Not quite under the 40min mark on the official watch but close.../ 8:04min miles not 8...

I was not the last Senior Man... HURRAH

So all three of my dreams about the race held out.My knee ached part of the way round but I ran though the ache. Not bad enough to stop me - only minor pain. Felt painful this afternoon, but I still went to my tennis lesson (They cost £5 - not wasting that...) after my WI.

Arrived early so spent 15 mins doing a whole range of stretches... Not a single ache or dullness on court or since... Maybe I should do my stretches for that long each day?

Tennis lesson.

Only reason I am doing this is I have prepaid for the course.
After my run my knees ache a lot but I do enjoy the tennis. I just hope 8 people turn up so we can have doubles, singles could kill me.

Did it!

The May Day 5 - run by the Godiva Harriers. A 5 mile road race and I did it... In 39min 56 secs on my watch - not sure what the offical time will be but I am so happy.

The race day approaches...

I am getting really nervous about tomorrow... My 5 mile race.

I entered it as a warm up for the Two Castles Run but then I had a two week lay-off with my dodgy knees. It looks a very serious race (The first in the Warwickshire race series!) - not sure they want a 'amateur' like me taking part!

I know it doesn't matter what time I finish in but I hope I do myself justice - Oh and not be the last SM home!

With my time off from running I am not expecting a great time. So what do I expect? Doesn't matter as long as my knees hold up but if I am being honest I would like:-
Less than 50min (Defn.)
45mins (9 min miles) - happy.
I really want less than 40mins.

Oh well lets see what happens - I will find out at 11:40, 11:45 or 11:50 tomorrow anyway. I will post the result on my blog just after I finish!

Excess exercise...

Since the start of the week, my knee has felt better, and tennis has restarted I have been on an exercise drive hearing up for my mad May Day run. So far I have, run twice, tennis lesson and cardio, swimming lesson and swum 42 lengths and been to the gym. I will get to goal and get less than 50 mins in the race.
