First official 10k - got me a medal! ๐Ÿ˜

โ€ข8 Replies

I now have my first sporting medal - a finishers medal from the โ€œRun through the treesโ€ event at Westonbirt Arboretum yesterday! My last sporting award (apart from my C25K and B210k awards which I need to print off) was for swimming a width of the pool when I was 6 years old. Looking at the results I was the only โ€œNHS Couch to 5Kโ€ club member there, came in 391/546 and was timed at 1:08:12 which was better than I expected๐Ÿ˜.

Congratulations on completing your first official 10K,well done, I notice that the 5k Parkrun that I run in and other results I look at, there are not many from C25K who take part in those runs.

Oh I did that one too! Will post a full report later.

We had a gorgeous evening but a tad hot and the hill at the end ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Well done to you, fab medal I love it ๐Ÿ™‚

The description said mildly undulating- I counted 3 hills!

It was the promise of trees that attracted me to the run but I only noticed one tree - Most of my attention was on the track and my fellow runners! ๐Ÿ˜Š

It was very warm and I liked the water half way round although I had to stop to drink it ๐Ÿ˜†

The first 10k race is really special and running through the trees sounds like my New Forest run last week. Absolutely lovely. Well done, thatโ€™s a great time.
