Research to be done ...
Well I decided to recruit the folks on the RW forums for some help and ideas about the beginners course/group at club. Well it's kinda evolved and I ended up talking to Shades and sending a mail to the folks at the Womens Running Network.I'm going to seriously look at starting my own group.
It would give me some training either through them on a UKA approved course or indeed a UKA course. It would also give me something positive to do and allow me to get to know more people were I am too whilst helping and encouraging others to take up the sport we love.
I remember so clearly the time I finished my 1st 5K. It was also a race and although it was in my villiage I knew no-one. When I finished I was so happy and proud that I called my mum! She thought I was about to collapse as I could barely talk!
Then when I finished my 2nd race (the Flora Light in London) I was soooo happy and hyped up I immediately declared a love of running and the intention of running the Reading Half Marathon.
But there is a lot to think about.
There's hubby's hours, Gnome, the time, commitment, accounts (you count as being self employeed) as well as things like a location and advertising etc.So watch this space! It could fit in with my training as it would be an extra but easy run. In fact if it was on a Monday then it could be a recovery run from my weekend long run!!
Still thinking about this! Gnome has said he would come along if hubby was at work so that's not an issue and 45-60mins exercise would do him no harm just good!
