A quick update to the Hampton Court 10k – a workfriend of wifey, Ebony (who is also non-workfriend of mine since, well, I don’t work with her), has signed up for the Hampton Court 10k as well, so now I will have a potential training partnet. That is, if she actually trains for it :)
So that’s nice.
I forgot to note in the last entry that my pack arrived from Cancer Research UK for my next 10k, the Hampton Court Palace 10k in September. It’s a nice low runner number of 944, which makes me feel super speedy considering my London 10k number was 6000-and-something. Sure, it’s probably because I was 944th to sign up, but I do not care for I am a man of self-delusion!
It also came with a nice girly-blue t-shirt to run in, although why they think anyone could survive a 10k in a cotton t-shirt is beyond me. It’s also an XL, so unless my dieting and fitness regime actually pays off, I won’t be even close to wearing it come September. I’ll wear my nice, light, but fat-bulge-clinging running shirt instead.
More walking this week, with two more walks to and from the station, so that’s 3 miles for my unofficial Juneathon. That leaves me with 15 days to do 97 more – easy!
This is me. Hello.
I'm Mark. I am a new runner, and an overweight, big bloke. Not necessarily a good combination, you may say, and often I (or at least, my ankles) would agree with you. But what the hell, eh? Might as well give it a go!
