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!)

Thanks for not dying
Don't worry; I didn't run my whole 10K either -- and I ended up with a bruised foot! Silly me for doing 10K on Sunday and running around downtown Vic for 5 or 6 hours on foot doing wedding prep... sigh.
I'm so glad you made it!
