Just today I was talking to a friend and saying I would love to run "The Scores Race" this year. This is a 6 mile race which takes part in the oldest part of the town where I live and involves running up and down ancientpathways which all lead to the sea. It includes over 400 steps and lots of hills. I ran it 8 years ago, but after having children I have not been able to run, but I have every intention of starting in 2 weeks when my husband arrives home.


My dad has run 7 half Marathons and one full mararthon. He ran every day and upped his distance a little each week. On the day of his full marathon he was worried he would not make the full distance, but once he started, the whole excitement and cheering crowds really helped him.


Good luck with your training. You are very brave, 6 miles isplenty far enoughfor me!
