I have 3 Shepherd's Bush stockings to finish this year. Here is the first one which I made up on Friday/Saturday. Have finished the xs on the 2nd and hoping to make that into stocking this afternoon.

Am loving seeing everyone else's work so thought it was time to share some of mine but I don't know if this link will work

Did a 10k run this morning and came last !:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl: At the start line it was horrible because there were only about a hundred ? of us and all looked to be elite runners whereas little old me, well up until a few months ago, I wouldn't even run for a bus..... My training runs of which there have only been a few have averaged about 2.5/2.7 miles and this was my first ever 10k race ! (it might even be my last!!)

My time was 1 hour 31 mins approx which isn't too bad but in recognition of my efforts and as consolation for coming last, well.... I might just have to pop over to sew and so and order myself a little something

better then i would have done. How does 10k compare with 10m?? (sorry i know i could google it). Martin :money: did the 10m great south run in 1:27:30 today.

10k is 6 miles. I did 5k in July (3 miles) (race for life event) but this was my first 10k. In places, the course I did today was more like an obstacle course !!!

Well done - you definitely deserve a reward from sew and so (other sites are available)

I am firmly in the can't run for a bus camp I'm afraid
