Hi all
So finally here it is, the weekend has arrived, i got up the courage and this weekend i have entered into a little 10km race
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh freaking out ... its friday, race is on sunday, and i already want to vomit haha.
I have been assured by my trainer Nat that i can do the distance as i have run it twice and done 8km. Tells me i will LOVE the energy and vibe of a race and i sould not be nervous and just enjoy.... im still nervous. Hints Nat has given me, eat a good dinner Sat night and she swears by a shot of coffee before the race for a boost haha.
Any other advice???
Will update how race goes on Sunday

Second 10km attempt
Helloooo
Made my second 10km attemt. Very bloody pleasing!!! Improved my time by 8min, and did a peronal best 1km time. Didn't pull a muscle or get any tweeks at all :D :D happy to find my body is adjusting and getting used to a little bit of distance. Heres hoping to push it to 15km and then half marathon soon enough.
Ran this with a very good friend of mine around her area and route, and i must say it was a stunning beautiful route, thanks for pushing me chicken sure was such a pleasing run because of you. All in all VERY happy with this progress... We getting there ...
Distance 10.06km Time 01h26min13s ran started at 8 in the morning of the 24th June 2012

Pulled a muscle in that 10km run attempt :/ time to recover
Hey Hey
So in that first 10km run i attempted i pulled my adductor muscle (groin) was SO sore. Also my knee and ankle felt a bit of a tweek. So the next 2 weeks i of course still ran, couldn't not i love it so much, but had to tone down the distance and time.
First week
Distance 3.16km Time 28min31s
Second week
Distance 4.64km Time 41min22s
After 2 weeks recovery i felt like i could attempt distance again, but at 8km i started to feel a little something something in my groin muscle, didnt want to damage it again and not be able to run distance for a while so decided to stop at the 8km mark, didnt make 10km.
Distance 8.07km Time 1h16min24s
Better luck next week

First 10km run attempt
Hi all
i know i havent been on here in a while, sorry about that!!!Been busy training and run run running though. So heres the update
First10km attempt was on the 20/05/2012 started at 3 in the afternoon
Distance 10.44 km Time 01h38min53s
What a difficult run this was. Had to push myself, really stay strong in mind for the second 5km because all i wanted to do was stop. Felt like Dory from findng nemo kept singing in my head "just keep running running running, put one foot in front of the other" im such a dork, sure it helped me through though.
