Targets are good

Just had another enforced rest from my runs due to chest infection. Knew after the last run that something was not right with the breathing so parked the trainers for the last 2 weeks. Should be able to start again sometime this week. To help me do this I received notification of the BUPA Great Winter Run to be run on Jan.9th 2010 and this has given me a target to aim for. I have completed this in 2006,7,8 and missed last year due to a number of things. It is a 5k race which takes in some great scenery around Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. It is 12 weeks away, so I am going to plan a schedule for that and hopefully carry it through to the race itself. Its a real spur to have a target to aim for and its something I would certainly recommend to all runners.
