14.6kms on Saturday March 14th
Jan and I are starting to think about running again. So I looked for a race and found Run for the Kids, on in Melbourne, on March 14th. It is 14.6kms long. The last race we did was a 5miler which was about 8kms long. So this is huge for us. We’d better start training so here’s my plan… Based on the Hal Higdon’s 15k training plan.

Starts tomorrow for 2km jog/walk. Ahaha can’t believe we’ve decided to do this. Not to convinced we’ll stick with it seeing it’s so hot out. It will mean some early morning or late afternoon runs…. a bit mad… Anyway see if we can get tomorrows one in.
