I have not been out for a while as I have been mentally preparing myself for the change in climate ! The evenings are darker and colder and my motivation seems to be taking longer to kickstart into action !

I managed to run 5k in 36.57 which is slower than my first 5k race (but that was a race !) and I am beginning to think seriously now about increasing my weekly mileage.

An 16 week Marathon training will commence Christmas/New Year time so my main focus is to be able to run continiously for 45 mins to 1hr….so nearly there !

Just updating the blog with the finishing time for the Dundee 5km race last Sunday.  The course was very hilly and from a cold start, we had to endure 2km uphill on multi terrain.  This was then followed by a downhill 1.5km and a flat for the remainder of the race.

The race was well attended (approx 300) and a decent goody bag was had by all !

Here’s to 10km in October at Scone Palace

Time to update the blog again….Dundee 5k fun run tomorrow…so relaxing today watching the footie (1st day of the season !)…will update the blog with times etc after the race

Yesterday, I stumped up the courage to enter the 5k Fun Run at Dundee on 16th August 2009….I am looking for a good time so will be concentrating on increasing my pace over the next four weeks.  Results will be published here

As part of our marathon training, we will be entering the following Big Fun Run Events (http://www.bigfunrun.com):

• Dundee (Camperdown Park) Sun 16th Aug 2009
• Edinburgh (Holyrood Park) Sat 3rd Oct 2009
• Perth (North Insh Park) Sat 10th Oct 2009

We are hoping that we should be able to run 5k (at least!) in time for these runs…
