Well, I debated with myself about keeping my blog and my entry to the Great South Run to myself... no one really needed to know did they? No one is really going to be interested? I could just type away my thoughts as the weeks go by and then attempt the run... But, I realised that by not going public, I was giving myself a get out clause! If I really hate it (which I will to begin with), If I have weeks when I don't feel I can run and panic more and more about the rubbish time I am likely to get, then...if nobody knows I can just not turn up.
Well, this won't do. So, I am running for charity for a cause I believe in, the NSPCC and I am telling anyone and everyone who is interested what I am doing!
Brilliant... now I really have to do it. In an ideal world it wouldn't take this kind of potential for public humiliation to get me moving and believing I can run, but I am going with it for now, until I get into my stride...literally!
In the midst of all this panic and uncertainty about the commitment I am making, I realised one good thing - I am going to need to go shopping! The best part of any new fitness regime, getting the right kit! So, this week I am going to check out the 'essentials' I will be needing and I have also already printed a 'beginner's' training plan.
I think I might have a cuppa tea and a bourbon biscuit to celebrate my brilliance so far... :-)
