On Sunday, I ran my first 10k race in about 3 years.
There was way to little preparation, as I’ve only been running again for about the last month, but have been running up to 9k.
The thinking was, 9k feeling good afterwards, so another on top is do-able, as long as I remember I’ve been away from running for a few years, so don’t aim for a time, just aim to get round.
So that was the plan. I was thinking, based on the running I’d been doing, that 60 mins was a reasonable time to get round in, so I was surprised and very happy with my finish time of 55:15.
The course was a wee bit hilly, and I was feeling it in my legs for the last 1k, but I made it round and in a time 5 minutes under what I was aiming for, so to say I’m pleased is an understatement.
I think I’ve got the bug again.
I'll Never Get Out of this World Alive 
Well done!! You did great, especially for your first one in a while! I often thing about jumping back into a race like this, perhaps I shall!
Thanks! You should 🙂
I’d forgotten just how much I love the atmosphere at a race. Go for it.
