6km (1hr :07 min)

You know I think I've lost my Nike+ gizmo, so the distance was worked out with Google map & the time was done via the timer on my phone. Yeah Dead accurate I know, but I'm on a tight schedule here I just need to move my bottom & get these KM done so I've got time to not be red faced & huffy when I get to nursery. Well, less huffy & red.

took me just over an hour to Jog / walk around the 6k, giving a pace of around 11 min. Not going to put me at the start of the pack is it?!

So it's quite weird doing all running & stuff when you don't quite balance the way you thin you should! and I'll admit I'm much slower than I could go,but then if I'm out of breath then Jelly bean is out of breath & I really don't want that to happen.

Yes it feels a bit gutting to have flogged myself & made myself do all that horrid running in the wet & cold november / december only to think I'm just going to waddle the whole way around.

Right off to get the 1st born from her day of destruction & chaos at nursery!

Are you ready to rumble?!?!

Well no not really, I never was a great fan of those 2 geordies, but I couldn't think of a cool thing to write as the title.

So with the run being in 4 weeks time the Great Run people send out emails to suggesting that now is the time to find out & test if you're fit enough to take part...

Err probably is my reply! They suggest that if you cannot comfortably run 6k by now & feel like you could still keep going at the end then, you might not be quite fit enough to do the full 10k on the big day... sensible stuff really, no one wants lots of lazy bones filling up the street and causing further obstacles for the other runners!

well, I'm knackered after this weekend, with just me & my daughter at home yesterday & a full shift today in the new shop, so I'm going to skive till Tuesday & see what time I can waddle around in then. Honest.

Stuff you knew already...

So it's been over a month since I've posted anything here...

Rest assured I haven't given up on the whole running thing, although it's starting to get a whole lot slower!

So in the week I was registering for the Great Manchester Run, I was also about 2 weeks into growing my 2nd baby.

So since the last post in Feb, there's been all kinds of life changing drama, well no, but it's a blog, drama sounds better than the reality.

I'm still doing the run, in oooh look 26 days (yikes), but the midwives & doctors said I could take it slowly, VERY slowly, and all will be fine.

I must admit that my running is more of a slow jog or fast walk, at the moment, and well, it's only going to get slower, but hey, speed isn't the point, it's the gettign up off my lardy bottom & moving.

So yeah! Double Yeah! With added Yikes, for the fast arriving dates!
(16th May - Run & 24th Sept due date)
