Crawley 10K - err, and stuff

[El Gordo]

Good man, SP. Running for 60 minutes without a break is no mean feat after your lack of regular running. I guess your tennis must be helping to maintain a good fitness base. Or is it the constant walking to the bar?

By contrast, my training has gone very well, at least in terms of consistently getting something done most days. I've managed to lose about 11 pounds over the past 3 or 4 weeks which I should be happy with, but it's not quite enough. Another half stone down and I'll be much better able to keep running for the time I need to. I'm still over 220 pounds which, experience tells me. is too heavy to run a decent race. Crawley is just a week or two too early, though I'll still give it a good go. Brighton in 5 weeks seems a much more reasonable target for a half decent time. I reckon we can both improve a lot in 5 weeks if we put our minds to it.
