Saying Hello ...

We are brother-in-law and sister-in-law, running the Great North West Half Marathon on 20th February 2011, to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We're running for our loved ones - Seren and Dylan. This is our training story...

First Major Milestone Hit {Adrian}

Woo hoo!!!!  Adrian is one happy bunny!!!

You know he ran 5 km on Monday night?  Well, on Wednesday night, he ran 6 km, and last night, he ran a whopping ...

10.5 kilometres!!!!! 

That's about 6.5 miles!!!

That's what he needs to be running regularly, three times a week, before he can start his training plan in about October!

He ran all the way to the next village and back, along the beach, and he really enjoyed it!  He said that it was rather daunting, getting all the way to the next village, and then realising that he had to run all the way back, but he did it, and actually felt as if he could have carried on longer!

He was really pleased with himself, considering he's only been running for just under two weeks, he's really pleased with the progress he's made.  But as I said, he just needs to get used to running this distance now, not be pushing himself too soon to run even further, because we have the training plan for that for later on.  He just needs to get used to running the 10k regularly now, three times a week.  That's 30k a week!

I'm so pleased for him, and so glad that he's enjoying it so much!
