Rather hot morning for it, but fortunately had an early (8am) start time. This is very much my local race as it was only a 3 minute walk to the start from my hone now, and the race looped around all my old stomping grounds where I grew up as a child. As it was so warm I was aiming for anything under 1hr so was thrilled with my time. I finished about halfway down the pack but had a pretty good age percentage so am delighted with that!

There were free sports massages on offer so took advantage and had a great rub down afterwards. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed the run whilst running, but am feeling great about it now 😊.

I have no plans to run further or faster so will just try and keep it up! Happy Sunday run day all!
