I did it! (and I didn't die!)

Just a quick post and I need to be working (and yes I do know it's 10:30 at night and I should really be in bed!)

My 10K run took place on Sunday (as in yesterday) and I managed to complete the whole thing. I know, I know...no great feat! However, the past 3 or so runs I've had severe cramping in my left calf muscle and in my foot...my thought, I'm out of shape, overweight (barely!) and in desperate need of some new runners! I had this fear of getting to 3K and not being able to continue.

Lucky for me...I swallowed the pain and continued. The pain in my left leg and foot ceased at about 6K...at about 8K I could feel a blister starting to form on the arch of my foot! So unfair!

I did not run the whole course...but I did run at least half if not more. I completed the 10K in 81(ish) minutes. By the time I started the clock said 2:23 and I finished somewhere around 1:23:?? to me that is 81 minutes. Ok...I know it's not great...but the amount of training I did...heck it's fantastic!

Thank you to all who Sponsored me as this was a Cancer Research run and I ran in memory of Barb Lewis. For those of you who don't know Barb, she was the most amazing woman I ever met. She died after her battle with Cancer on 17 September.

If you still fancy Sponsoring me you can at my special "SKETTI'S 10K RUN SPONSOR FORM!". Don't worry it's all legit and safe!

(Now...back to work!)

Ok, ok, ok!

Well, I'm still here...I've just not blogged in forever! I've been busy! I started a post at the beginning of October...but haven't had a chance to finish it...as it was titled...I blinked and September was over...now it's the middle of October and I still haven't finished the post...I will...soon...I hope.

All is well in Sketti land. The wedding is in 4 months now and I think we've sent out the invites...if you feel like we should have invited you and haven't...let us know!

Our Non-existant summer has turned to Autumn and I'm very sad again that I've missed Thanksgiving. It was always my favorite holiday (not sure why...I must be warped!). However I have some friends coming round next Sunday for a lovely Thanksgiving meal. Mmmmmm Turkey and stuffing and loads of food and Pumpkin Pie! Thanks again mum for bringing the tin of pumpkin with you when you came in September. Hmmmm, I had better get planning! Ack!

Next Sunday is also my 10K run...i've been too busy lately which has caused me to be too tired so my training schedule has gone out the window. I have a 5 mile route planned for tomorrow. I'm not under the illusion that I will be able to run all of it but at least I'll have an idea of how long it'll take next week (I always run quicker in a race!).

If you fancy sponsoring me (it is in aid of Cancer Research) please go to my fund raising site HERE Even Moose has sponsored me...he must have a lot of faith in me!

I hope you all are well! I will post very soon about what I've been up to the past couple of months! I promise!
