So I entered a race

Sort of - I guess it's more of a running event. I mean it's not really a race if you aren't so much hoping to beat anyone as you're hoping to finish - know what I mean??

I have been flirting with the idea of running for a few months now, starting the couch 2 5k program more than once and petering out about week 3. What I needed was an incentive and so I have entered the Coatesville Classic 8k loop and to up the anti I posted the fact to my Facebook. The prospect of embarrassment over piking and not doing the event is the real incentive of course!

So now I am two days into my training for the event and I have decided to go with a heart rate based training initially. Covering specific distances while keeping my heart rate high (170bpm - 180bpm). Two days in and 9kms later I am a bit sore, but looking forward to March 18th at the start line!
