Calling bloggers in the greater Brisbane / Gold Coast / Sunshine Coast area (and anyone inter-state if you are interested). Are you interested in walking / running ? Would you like to do the Brisbane Twilight Marathon ?
It is on Sunday, 24th March 2013. Their website is here for all the details. They have a training program as well (which starts today) so I will have a good look at that and print it off if I feel that it is something that would work in with my exercise program.
I am going to enter the 10km run - not because I can run 10kms (well not at the moment anyway) but because I want to have a goal to aim for. I want to be training for a reason. I want to have a purpose behind what I am doing.
I have to go to see my dr, again, about the symptoms I am exhibiting and I want to make an appointment to see a different physio about my knees. Between the two of them and whatever I have to do, I am going to get on top of how I am feeling and, come out the other side with a healthy body and a great outlook on life.
If there is anyone interested in meeting up after the run - please let me know. I am more than happy for you to run with me if you want but, I am warning you up front, I don't run quickly. I did the GC 10km race in 63 mins - can I do it again ? I have no idea. Am I going to try to beat that time ? Not on your life ! Why ? Because I am not that competitive. I just want to run because I enjoy it. And, because there are more hills than the GC run which was completely flat - as are all the roads that I train on around my home.
Have the best day and take care !

Once I reach my 5km milestone, I'll be setting my sights on 10! All the best with your training and preparation for the race. Just take your time and enjoy!

I do want to run a 10k this year, but don't think I'll be able to by march. I've never run further than 8km. I know 10 is only 2 more, but I've only done 8 once! I'm hoping the weather cools off a little soon as I am really struggling with training/running in the heat.
ReplyDeleteOh my friend - you should have the confidence in yourself that you have in everyone else !!!! You so have enough time between now and 24 March to train for a 10km run - there is a 5km run if you are interested !!!
DeleteHave the best Friday.
