Having done a 5k in 29 minutes in March, I had break of a few months from running then started a 10 week programme of training, culminating in taking part in a 10k race.
Ran a time of 56.36 - which I am quite pleased with.
Came 352nd out of 749 runners: n my age group - 60 plus - I was 7th out of 21 runners (four of those ahead of me were Club runners).
Got the shirt and the medal.
Question is - what next?
And do I need some new shoes?
My shoes are now over 11 years old and looking a bit threadbare - but I feel some loyalty to them, having carried me this far!

Shoes are ok, but may want to cut that scratchy toenail
What's next surely is whatever you feel like. If you enjoy the challenge of endurance running go do a marathon or more, if you like the company of others then join a club. You clearly are an ok runner if you can do a sub 1hr 10k so should be able to tackle further or faster if you desire.
