Making myself accountable

so I'm announcing to the world, I will be racing in my local 10k trail running race next June.
Yes it's a long time away, but I plan on doing more skiing than running this winter so I'll have to put in hard work from April onwards.
It'll be my first race, but it's pretty much an extended version of my usual route anyway, which is a 300m ascent in the first 3 miles, then downhill again for the last 3 miles. I don't just plan on doing it, I plan on doing it well. This year the winner in my category finished in 44minutes. I'm aiming for 50 or faster.
Now I've said it, I have to do it
