Not too bad for my first go! Training was suprisingly fun and I enjoyed feeling a lot fitter.

So I have decided on the race I am going to enter, all that remains is training!
I have a while to work up to this, but start as I mean to go on - that's what I say! I went for a 3k run on the treadmill in the gym - it took me 30 mins, and I was pretty tired. At that rate, I would complete a 10k in over 1.5 hours, which I don't think is very good. I guess it shows how unfit I am - definitely have some work to do! I want to complete the race in less than 1hour.

I also need to get in shape, and a 10k run in the course of 2011 is a great target for me. I just need to find the race I want to enter and start training!

I have been searching for 10k races to enter into, and a friend suggested San Silvestre race in Madrid - he did it last year and said it was a great course, well supported and a lot of fun.
It is held each year on 31st December - New Years Eve (!), and I commit to doing this in 2011.
Entries don't open until nearer the time, so the only thing to do right now is begin with my training!

I often talk about getting in shape, but I rarely do anything about making it happen.
I have been thinking about this, and I think it is because I don't set myself a decent goal or objective to work towards...
I know I can do 10k with a bit of training, and it seems like a great starting fitness goal. This year, I will compete in a 10k race!
