New Project

Say hello to my new project;

http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=4&link=Coverflow

Yes, you have seen that right, the Manchester 10k run. The entry is now closed, and I have confirmation that my lazy ass is expected to run 10k! There are 10,000 people running, and I will be running that just before my 25th Birthday. What an excellent way to reach for my quarter life crisis. I have chosen to run for Alzheimer's research, in honour of one of my favourite writers; Terry Pratchett. The last time I ran was last in a 5k, for Breast Cancer Research (Race for Life) last year. I was exhausted, it took me and my running partner 45 minutes start to finish, and I was so sore I was nearly sick upon crossing the line.....my supportive boyfriend cheering me while eating his body weight in burgers. Where he probably will be when I hit the Manchester Run too, but I love the fact he's still there cheering me on. Even though he thinks I'm a little on the crazy side "running for fun".

The only problem is that I can't even run to the shop at the end of the street anymore, I'm totally unfit. I even have a bit of a belly going on now that's replacing my six pack. I used to run 3 nights a week, and rock climbing twice a week. I do nothing but watch shit tv at the moment, so now I have a total mountain to climb in this 10k run! Wish me luck people!
