One day I will learn not to go at things too fast. Having spent a large part of the last 6 months failing to exercise, I kicked off my 10k training for the Run10k event in October last week. Yesterday's running session (3 minute warm up, 2 minutes walk, 2 minutes run repeated 8 times and a 5 minute cool down) nearly killed me and only saw me cover 5.7k in that time. I really am going to have to put in some hard effort if I plan on finishing in less than 70 minutes...

Meanwhile, if anyone would consider sponsoring me, I'll be very grateful. I know it's early, and I'll almost certainly post the link again before October 4th, but for the time being the link is below and will probably appear at the bottom of all posts closer to the time.
