When the world stood still 10k challenge

I signed up for this Halle game in support of Keech Hospice and as I could already run 5k thought I had better select 10k or it would not be much of a challenge. I have spent most of the summer writing a 15,000 word dissertation so there has not been much time for any serious training, but I have been shuffling round the local lake with Sandie1961 a couple of times a week. This morning my trusty friend was at the lake side as usual, it was warm and it was muggy, there was no breeze and it was air-less. We set off clock-wise (as we had not gone that way round before) and did 0.5k walk/run intervals, Sandie was keen to sprint the last 1.5k but I managed to restrain her enthusiasm and we finished in just over an hour and a half. Challenge completed and my longest ‘run’ on Strava. Now looking forward to JuJu’s magic plan in October when I hope to learn to run more and walk less..
