117/365 Things I have learned from training for the Glasgow Women’s 10K

I know the 10K is still a fortnight away. Yes. Just a fortnight! However, it seemed like a good point to do this post. I did my first 10K in 2001 and then again a year later. I’m not a runner, it was more about seeing if I could actually do it. Super Sister and […]
