MY NEXT GOALS AND PROJECTS
Enjoying running socially with no pressure
I’d really like to go sub 2hrs for a half marathon but who knows.
I’m going to do some more trail running as this is something I’ve really enjoyed albeit only a few a short races.
I’m looking forward to the Asics London 10k where I will get the opportunity to run on the closed roads of London that are normally gridlocked with traffic and I’m hoping to do one of the international Asics meet ups.
