I have my first 10km race today. OMG. I’m so nervous. 😣

It’s a full on race with cash prizes! OMG. I’m never nervous before a Parkrun or ever before any run (except C25K W5R3, that terrified me). But for some reason I’m having butterflies and doubts and asking myself what was I thinking when I signed up. Luckily My knee is not as bad as before but still niggling. Another plus is I tried a speedier run in the week and got to 7k at a good pace. 10km is not a distance I enjoy as it just hurts too much but races don’t happen here very often and I couldn’t turn down the chance. Even if I have to Jeff it I’m going to get out there before the weather stops me altogether. I have absolutely no idea how this is going to turn out today. 😬

Nerves are not a bad thing, I've never yet not been nervous before a run and I'm sure they add a bit of extra speedy oomph to your legs! Good luck! Let us know how it goes 😊💥

Thank you everyone, I didn’t get to read your comments before I rushed off. I shall post a short run report in a few minutes after I’ve cooled down and cleaned up.
