Maz, I know I wont be able to run it. Those tests mean I've not got enough time to get fit enough. Maybe next year ehh
I'd be happy if I thought I could walk it, but I'm not even sure of that to be honest. Me and DD went out for a ickle bit earlier, but I got out of breath just walking up to the woods where we run. Maybe I need to just go out and do one, then I'll know one way or t'other wont I.
I have this huge fear that everyone will have gone home by the time I get to the end, if in fact, I make it at all
Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

I'm away next weekend, me and my friend are taking our daughters on a mini holiday (The Sun vouchers)
should be fun,
I guess the chaps will just stay home, watch Rocky, put up some drywall and shoot bear.
... Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Spud - even if you were the last to finish (and you wouldn't be!), we would not leave you out there on your own! I now realise I can't walk 5k (the walk I mapped from my holiday was a shade under 4k) without my leg and back being too painful, so you should be really proud that you think you can walk 10k!
