My aim is to run a 10 km run in under 40 minutes, which is going to be a challenge. This is my first time running 10 km and I've only done up to 5 km before. Because of UK Athletics regulations, I can't run in an official event as a 14-year-old, so I have made my own course and asked my father to time me.

Update: I have run it, although I had a small injury. My time was 46:34 which I am happy with, as under 40 minutes was ambitious. To everyone who donated, thank you!
