First 10k race ticked off!

Really just wanted to share my pride at having completed my first 10k race, along the canal-side in Aylesbury a couple of weekends ago. To think this time last year I was just about able to plod a 5k, I'm so happy with my running journey so far. It's had its ups and downs but overall I love feeling fitter and healthier and the running community is so friendly and encouraging. x

A big well done to you and many congratulations. I hope there was bling 🙂 Here's to many more races in the future.

Lovely photo too.

congratulations on your 10k! - posts like this are inspiring to us who are at the front end of the 10k training! Happy running!

Congratulations, you are looking very relaxed in that photo. Did you get a nice medal? It is amazing how the elusive 5k progresses to longer distances, I have seen similar progress in a year too. What do you plan next?

Thank you all! Yes, the bling was gorgeous - going to be hard to beat, I reckon! In terms of what's up next, I'm gradually looking to increase my mileage and would like to tackle a half next year, maybe in the Spring! x
