The British 10K – 19 days to go!

19 days, jeez! I’m not going to lie I did think it was still a month or so away but upon checking I can confirm that there are less than 20 days until the big 10K.

I’ve run 3 10Ks before but this is the most training I’ve put into a race (although I haven’t run for 2 weeks accounting for holiday and Boo starting nursery!) However I’m more nervous about my race day performance than every before, to be fair I’m just worried that I’ll get cramp or all my hours spent planning my routes on Google maps will have been flawed and I won’t be able to go the distance; these worries are perfectly normal – right?!

Apart from running #operationyummymummy has seen me become a regular at my gyms’ circuits and Saturday morning boot camp sessions – every minute of it hard but really enjoyable (yes I know I’ve become one of those boring people who actually enjoy fitness – guilty as charged!)

Since the beginning of March I’ve lost over 2 stone, with my focus now on shifting the last 2 stone and concentrating on building my muscle and strength. I’m starting to explore the world of protein, supplements and egg whites!

I’ve still got a long long way to go and the there’s no doubt that the 10K will be challenging and painful at times but I know the reward will be amazing!

Which reminds me, you can donate to #operationyummymummy and help support Bliss by visiting my JustGiving page and tell everyone you know. Babies born too small or too sick need all the help and support we can give them.
