I'm so easily led .......
All it took was a post by Belinda on the Bradworthy running group page advertising the Bideford 10k on 10th May and I was there with a credit card and podgy fingers on my phone key pad!
Ok so why was I so eager to part with my money?
Well if she was going to do it then so was I!
Competitive or what?
Actually until recently I thought I was the most uncompetitive person in the world but then I went to my first parkrun www.parkrun.org.uk and although its non competitive ...... I've found that I can run reasonable well (especially when the proper running club people don't turn up!!!) there are people of all ages and abilities who are there to have fun, including me. I now know who to try and keep pace with and overtaking people gives me a sense of satisfaction. Not many mind you but enough for a buzz and then of course there's the PB (personal best) ........ each time I've been, well four times (one was cancelled) I've got a PB. Yes the competitiveness has kicked in and I've been pushing myself.
Who'd have thought it??
I now have the gear too ...... proper running shoes and lycra!!!
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo Bideford 10K ............
Three months to prepare .........
What have I done?
