Well I had a conversation with Iain, manager of AFC Masters and I’ve agreed to step out of the Manchester 10K so I can do the Scout training. I was a little gutted last night when this sunk in. I also felt that the other We Love Manchester 10K isn’t as big of an event that I would like it to be to lure sponsorship AND to test myself. I do 10Ks like I said in midweek evenings.

So how about this for an upgrade?

Great North Run 2014 in Newcastle (7 September)? 13.1 miles / 21 Kilometer run! Is this crazy – well it’s not a full marathon but it’s a step in between isn’t it? I’ll definitely look into this and reignite my Fierce FIVE Challenge idea.
