Simons Stars – Laura – 10k training update, one week to go!

http://www.raceto100.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/dreamstimefree_2237922-199x300.jpg

The week started with me pushing my training plan to one side, convincing myself that I was too busy. I knew that I wasn’t, and that I needed to do something about it pretty quickly. So, I got on the phone to Simon miserable and half in tears, and after a bit of a motivational pep talk I got off the phone with half a smile on my face and ready for a run.
