I took part in my first event this morning, the Leigh Community 10k. It was very weird running with other people (especially at the start, when I was overtaken by a veritable herd of stampeding gazelles), but on the whole I enjoyed it. I came in with a chip time of 1:04:16, which is pretty much as fast as I can go. I knew I needed to slow down when I started catching up to the 60 minute pacer at around 4k.

I wanted to do this event after seeing some of the finishers last year and thinking, 'I wish I could do that.' And now I can πŸ˜ƒ

Hope everyone is having a happy running Sunday πŸ™‚

I know what you mean! I usually run solo but went out with my local running club this morning and my pace was noticeably faster. Congratulations on completing your first event, and at a good pace too!

Well done Runip that's awesome!.. I'm surprised this hasn't got more responses.. I think it's 'slipped through the net' I've just seen it myself πŸ€”

Anyway...

I'm loving that bling! 😍🀩

Hi. I left Leigh, and never really went back, over 50 years ago to go to Uni and would love to go " back home" and run up Holden Rd and around Bedford. I am putting this in my diary for next year. Can you just turn up? Pete?

I have just said to MrsGrump, hang on they are not running races, then noticed it was last year! Wonder why it appeared in my prompts. Anyway see you next year!

Not what you're looking for?
