About me.

Lets get things into perspective.

I don't run. In fact, sometimes I struggle to walk. I have arthritis in my knees and back and I am overweight. By quite a lot.

So why have I decided to run a 10K event?

Well, in the space of a month, my friend's partner and then another close friend have found out that they have cancer. Both dont deserve to have to face this.

This is my way of showing support and hopefully to raise money for Cancer Research. Hopefully by documenting my journey, I can stay focused and encourage people to stay interested enough to sponsor me on this epic adventure.

DAY 6 - 27 May 2013 - PAIN

Day 6 of training, Day 3 of attempting to run

Change of tactics.

          1) Run first thing in the morning before I see too many people I know that may mock me.

          2)  Run the reverse way around the course, cos I'm sure there are more down hilly bits going this way.    

              Not quite sure how that works, but its true.

          3) Seeing the sea later on in the course will give me more incentive.

          4) I look fatter in the evenings than I do in the mornings.

It sort of worked, however the first leg of the course is on the main road, the bit that I usually get to walk, so I have to super concentrate on pulling in those stomach muscles that I have discovered I haven't got, and try and project the image that I am a serious runner and not like I am staggering home from a 12 hour session in the pub. Not that I make a habit of 12 hour sessions in the pub because I have no social life. There just so happened to be quite a few 'serious' runners out this morning, it makes it oh so clear that I have some SERIOUS work to do.

Dean started off by behaving himself.

 "You're doing REALLY well!!!" and "keep it up, I'm REALLY proud of you!" 

Then he totally ruined it.

"Do you know, when I had all that fat around my middle, I couldn't run, but now I've lost it I can run SO much better...when YOU lose all that fat, it should be a lot easier for you."

Bastard.

Now, Mr Stringbob isnt exactly Mr Slimbob and if I had the energy he would be Mr Deadbob. So I will rise above it.

Which brings me on to the subject of pain.

Now in Debbie's world...most pain can be catagorised into 3 types (bear with me)

1) BAD pain.

    This includes, pain from injuries, pain form illness and emotional pain such as loss. And hangovers.

2) GOOD pain. Such as aches from exercise, labour, in fact pain that has a positive outcome.

3) Pain in the arse.

And that would be my lovely husband
