My name's Pete, and I'm not the fittest person in the world. Somehow, though, I've found myself preparing for a 10K run in May, 2011.

This blog previously charted my various fitness activities as a means of self-motivation. Now, it's going to chart my training for this event, and beyond.

6K

Since I’m supposed to be running 10K in May, I figured it was about time to try upping the distance a little bit, starting by adding an additional kilometre. This was a simple case of running “out” 0.5km further, which didn’t feel like a lot at all, until I had to run back into a strong headwind. Yay.

I managed it, though my legs were just starting to get to the “okay, aching enough to want to stop now” stage by the time I got back home. It looks like gradually increasing the distance will be a slow but steady process—but doubtless doing things like the interval training once a week will help, too.

Dinner time now; push-ups and sit-ups will have to wait until later. Those are going well, though.
