It's that time of year again... for running!

Post by Emmamoo »

I ran last year in the Reading Half Marathon for Autism Speaks.

And this year I am running for the NAS in the BUPA London 10,000 on 25th May.

I intend on running in costime this year whether its a tutu or a batwoman outfit. I am not running with Mike like I did last year, so will be battling 10k alone. Hooray.

I will post pictures when it's done!!

Looking at your picture, do you think you are training too hard?
I'm sure you shouldn't have lost so much weight.

Phew, yes, I was a bit miffed... I think because I have just changed the picture it didn't register. I think I shall slope off to dye my hair now... the peroxide wasn't doing me any good.

Ah thanks guys. I think I'm a glutton for punishment with running. Mind you, I won't run a half marathon again I think it was too far and my joints at the end of it were very very sore.

Good luck, Emma! )t' Hope you have fun!

I did the Bath half marathon a couple of weeks ago and later today I'm going to sign up for the Bristol one in September. Doing Race for Life this summer too and maybe a couple of other 10ks here and there.

I love running! :-D
