(Semi) Finalised events

I have finally pulled my finger out and pretty much got the events sorted! There is a decent mixture, I think, of distances, with a fair few 10k and half marathons plus two full marathons.

Training is going well and I have already managed to bring down my 10k time to sub-45mins, which I am very happy about. My aim is to get to 40mins for 10k by the end of the year. The route that I am running around Rochester is about 11.5k (if you have seen it via the Nike shares on Facebook or Twitter) which includes running over the Medway twice. It is a pretty scenic route in parts, running alongside the M2. Next step is doing a couple of laps to get me up to 20k runs, but that can wait until after the first event, which is in a couple of weeks. Speaking of which, here they are;

Date Event
12/01/2014 Bromley 10K
23/02/2014 The Headcorn Half
16/03/2014 Sevenoaks Rotary Knole Park 10K
06/04/2014 DARENT VALLEY 10K
31/05/2014 2014 Kent Roadrunner Marathon
22/06/2014 North Downs Run 30K
27/07/2014 WIMBLEDON COMMON HALF MARATHON
31/08/2014 Spartan Race (13K)
14/09/2014 Bacchus Marathon
26/10/2014 Tough Mudder (12 Miles)
26/10/2014 Great South Run
29/11/2014 The 10k MoRun London Greenwich Park 2014
14/12/2014 Capital Runners Richmond Park Christmas 10K

My one month where I am torn is October. The Tough Mudder would be fun but I feel that the Great South Run is more in keeping with the spirit of what I am doing. I'll wait until Feb to decide, I think.

If anyone is interested in joining me in any of these, the please give me a shout!

  1. Great South Run! Brave choice for a first marathon, nice and flat but so many laps. I *hate* laps. That said, I might join you anyway.
