After my two week training course it has been nice to get back to normality this weekend and do things at a slower pace, catching up with household chores, arranging vet visits for pets, reading etc.  Having done a few things around the house I’m now gearing up for a run, which will be my first for some time having been off the radar for a little while.

In September my friend Chris and I ran the Cancer Research 10k in Finsbury Park in London.  I quite enjoy running but do need a kick to get myself up and out of the house.  This year I set myself a goal of competing in three more races – one more 10k and two 5k races.  Eventually I would like to be able to run in half marathons and maybe even a full marathon.

I’m hoping that there will be some local races starting soon that I can join in.  I’m not necessarily interested in the competitive element, but rather having a target to work towards and therefore a reason to get myself out and on the road.  If anyone who knows of a good place to find races in the Ramsgate area I’d be pleased to hear from you.

Right now I need to get into my running gear and get on with it!  Then back to the chores….
