Training with a purpose, and in particular focusing on different aspects of running in each session, is a new experience for me. But it's really enjoyable, I like the variety and I really like the day I go out 'just for fun'. Today was a 'hill' day and according to my schedule, it was time to conquer Mount Rainier. Fortunately for me, I live on the side of a massive hill somewhere in Yorkshire, thus negating the need to travel to Washington State.

As I ran up and down the hill a few times, I thought about how only a few months ago, the very idea of running up this street had seemed unthinkable. I remembered sitting on my bed on Christmas Day, shyly telling someone that I would like to run a 10K this year, having, prior to Christmas Eve, not run at all since April.
Yesterday, after a hot 7K 'fun' run across the moor, I came home and entered Leeds 10K, as a flat warm up to the Saltburn trail race about a month later. All being well with training, not only will I run two 10Ks this year, I will run one of them on my 35th birthday!
