I don't need to drop my daughter off at work in the mornings any more, so I'm hoping to get to the gym a couple of mornings a week to swim. I have really missed my swimming and I think it will be good to stretch out my tired muscles.
I did find out there is a 10 mile road race in the next couple of weeks - the Swineshead 10 is on Sunday 10 September and I did seriously think about entering. I'm not so sure now, I don't want to give myself unnecessary pressure but trying to "race" - I know what I'm like and I don't want to mess up my half marathon training. Will see how I feel nearer the time.
Actually, it won't be the first time I have run the Swineshead 10. In September 1984 at the age of 27, I ran it in a time of 1 hr 20 secs! Quite a respectable time, I think.

I definitely recommend running the race,. Not only does it make for a good workout, you get to sample the race atmosphere, and you get thing like drinks provided on the roadside.
Rememebr, you don't have to race all-out.
Hi Thomas
I hear what you are saying, and I know it would make sense. I think I am going to make a decision nearer the time....
Sue
