Good luck Kate, I've got the running bug after doing my first 10K in May this year!  I've now done 3, and my next one I'm trying to break the 1hour mark.  My pb is 1 hour 3mins 13 secs!  I love a 10K distance, not to hard but long enough for a sense of achievement!  That being said, I'm crazylly entering next years Edinburgh Marathon, and I'm part of a charity team for the London Triathlon....Any new runners here interested in how to prevent a stitch, then take a look at this blog post, please feel free to share your own tips in the comments section!  http://iwantthoseabs.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/the-dreaded-runners-stitch-tips-on-how-to-avoid/
