I just did the Aberdeen 10k.....is it really just 5 weeks since i did a marathon??! Admittedly, I really haven't trained much since, just been out once or twice a week, and I've been aware in the past week or two how much my fitness level has dropped. So, the race today.....grim!! My slowest race, ever - the wind was a total nightmare, it was basically 2 steps forward, one step back! And ok, perhaps following the Jade Goody style of race preparation isn't ideal (too much bad food, too much wine, too much lazing around). And ok, I did have a few glasses of vino last night. Not a textbook pre-race evening, it has to be said, so I guess it could've been a lot worse. And it was good to do another race - I think mentally it'll help, not thinking that the last race I did was a marathon! Why did Dublin seem like such a great idea? The thought of another marathon is really daunting right now....

Kerry, my friend, well done on the Aberdeen 10km, I'll be doing a 10km next Monday - a charity race here in Dublin. It takes time for the body to get back to normal, and you MUST remember that many of those that were doing the 10km would never think they were able to do another 20 miles on top of the mileage! As for bad food and a few glasses of vino - YOU DESERVE IT GIRL! Give your body another couple of weeks before starting out on your schedule proper, it won't have forgotten all that hard work you put in before FLM!
