I’ve learnt an awful lot this month.
- For the third time I've been rejected for the Great North Run Ballot so I’m going to run for a charity. Maybe I’m just not meant to run it. (But I have got a charity place)
- Running on holiday is hard.
- Running in the heat is bloody hard. (I’m sorry there is no other word to describe how I feel about the situation)
- Running while watching people lying on sun beds catching the final raise of the day with their cocktails trying to encouraging you is a form of Chinese torched. (No disrespect intended)
- Completing 10k on the 24th of February made me feel so proud, like I'd actually concurred Everest. One small step for man, one giant leap for Katie!
Best Achievement - Did I mention I managed 10k in one running session?! Yes that is like running parkrun and then turning around and running it all again.
I PB'd at parkrun at the weekend. Manage a 3.1mi in 30 mins 39 seconds! Or an official time of 30 mins 59! I really want to get below 30 minutes. I think it might take a little bit more training.

Healthy Recipe to Try - Since I got back from the cruise I've been really good and only trying to eat healthy things but my favourite are these peanut butter energy balls. I used a little bit of Vivianna does make up recipe mixed with my own. Believe me they are delicious!
Top Tip - As I'm running a little bit further than my usually 5k my legs have started to get a little bit sore so my top tip for this month is baths. So relaxing on my muscles.
Total Miles Ran - 37.8 mi
I graduate from my 10k course in March so technically I'll be moving up to a 10k to a half marathon course. Which is a little scary....half marathon 13.1 miles. At this stage I honestly don't think I'll make it. But I've got my name down for 2. So if I can't run, I'll walk and if I can't walk I'll crawl. But I will get there. Mind over legs, that's my new motto.
Also I've set up a new Instagram page so you can watch my running journey, @runner_katiejane.
I said last month I wanted to try yoga, well I did. It was so boring! I managed a 20 minute session at home and I just couldn't manage the breathing and being still for so long. I might give it another go but I won't be rushing too.
How have you got on this month? Any new exercises I should try?
