10 k in 10 weeks?

This has been moved over from something I started yesterday. Best to keep all my blog in one place.

Is it possible?

This is a very quick post before I leave and go finish enjoying Christmas. My name is Alan, I am 31 and fat and unfit. Today (Christmas Day) my brother (18 fat & unfit) was given a plan to get him to 10 k in 10 weeks. I am conscious of my need to get fit so agreed to do it with him. I believe that if we’re both going to follow the plan we’ll both have the additional dedication to stick to it.

We’ve agreed to kick off on the 5th January which give me the option to eat drink and be merry for another week (inc. New Year) and start the regime at the start of 2009.

I’ve asked Eton to scan me a copy of the guide and I’ll post it when I get it.

This blog is going to remind me that I agreed to do this.

Dates to remember:

5th Jan 2009 – start
22nd March 2009 – finish
10th August – Darlington 10k

Can we run it?

Yes.
