First ever 10k event completed today

[jacky-f]

Absolutely delighted to have completed the Scottish 10k this morning. The weather was perfect and it's a lovely flat course along the coast at Musselburgh, just outside Edinburgh. I have been training hard for 3 months so felt ready today, but surprised to finish a whole 4 minutes faster than my practice times.

I enjoyed this so much I am sure it won't be my last.

Well done, great picture shows how pleased you were

[jacky-f Graduate10]

Thanks everybody. I've been smiling all day - apart from when I've been eating! I've been absolutely starving since I got home. I've booked a 13k for springtime so that should keep me motivated to keep running through the winter.

Brilliant, very well done 👍 lovely photo of you looking happy and proud. Is the 13k next Spring the kilomathon in Edinburgh?

[jacky-f Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

Yes, that's the one. It seems to be reasonably flat and has the bonus of finishing very close to my house.

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to jacky-f]

I did the kilomathon this year! I wrote a post about it (if you are interested). Yes, a flat route along the cycle tracks. Nice atmosphere, well organised and great finishing in the stadium! Only one water station though and it was a warm day. You will enjoy it😊
