This morning I bit the bullet and signed up for the Green Park Royal Berkshire 10k on Sunday 21st May. This falls between Reading Half Marathon and starting proper training for the marathon. I also have a whole load of Race for Life 5k and 10k events in my diary, as my marathon entry gets me free access to these for the year! My next plan is to look at routes for longer runs around home, as my longest training run is meant to be 20-22 miles! This afternoon, despite feeling tired and totally lacking in motivation, I dragged myself out for a run down the local byways. I made the mistake of not wearing my "safety glasses", and ended up with a midge committing suicide in my left eye - won't be leaving them at home again, then! The shoes performed nicely in "proper" mud, and my socks were still dry (except for sweat!) when I got home, even though I stomped in several puddles on the way. A refreshing 5k, although I'm now feeling in a "PJs and dressing gown" mood... Please do sponsor me if you can - even just £1 - it's a long way to my target! Thank you. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Marathon-for-Archie
