Going to run.....


I'm very excited to let you know that next Saturday I will be participating in my first organised run.
I spoke to the other 4 ladies from my running group, and only one is available to run next Saturday....One week from today!!
I wanted to do the 12.4km run, but my friend says she wants to do the 9km run as she has been ill all of this week and feels she may not be ready for the longer run. I told her I wanted us to run together so will do which ever run suits her.
So we will be doing the 9km ( 5.5 miles ) run together.

What is really exciting about this run for me is that my friend is the one I personal trained over a year ago, after she had her baby ~ she lost so much weight the four months I worked with her and she found her passion for running. At the start of our running training, she hated it, and really struggled as was very running unfit...but not today...
Today she challenges me....her teacher!!

  3. I think 9K is a nice distance to start a first race with and I think you both will do great at it.

  6. Yay for your race! I did one a few years ago but just a 5k but haven't done another since. Maybe someday :) I wish I had you around here to motivate me. How hot is that shot of you to the right?
