A 10km run
August 18, 2008
So yesterday I decided to push myself little further with my running and did a 7.66km loop down the canal to Waverton and back along the A41. The furthest I have run in the past is around 5.4km, though with ease. I must admit that it was a little hard, though it was my knees that hurt more than the lack of energy.
I had wanted to do the 10km run for Cancer Research UK this year, but I found the £19.50 entry fee a bit steep… I’d rather that money went to the charity than on a cheesy t-shirt and plastic medal, so I intend to run my own 10km for charity around Chester on the same day (21st September 2008). Considering I have never run 10km and I only have four weeks in which to get up-to speed, including the niggles I have been having in my knees, I’m only a little apprehensive. I know I’m capable of the distance fitness wise, my main concern is my right knee.
