In April I did the Leicester Big 10kms for the first time and I loved it - it was a race but I was happy to be back of the pack and enjoy the experience. My motivation was just to enjoy the experience and not stress over setting myself a time target

I don't normally need an event planned in but after doing the April 10kms I felt that having the event in my calendar did help me keep getting out over the cold, dark winter months so I have given myself another event (10 miles in Sept that involves cake !)

the countdown is now on for me to start slowly increasing my mileage and doing some strength training to help me complete the 10 mile distance. wish me luck!
