HU10k done

I did this yesterday as the weather was lovely. I was a bit nervous as it was only my 2nd 10k, but I really enjoyed it! There were loads of other runners out and about, all doing their thing, most of them whizzing past me πŸ˜€. I struggled a bit around 8k but got a 2nd wind thankfully, and carried on. Reading everyone’s posts definitely helped me get out the door, so thank you! And thank you to the organisers - what a fab idea. Hope everyone enjoys their runs!

The route I did very much helped me out I have to say - the first k or so is a lovely downhill climb so much so it almost feels like cheating!

Thank you CBDB ! Sorry for the late thank you, I only just saw your post. It was a really enjoyable run, at least I think it was, it seems ages ago now! I'll try again this coming weekend if the old legs are up for it. πŸ˜€

Fab! Yes, I’m about to attempt my first 10k tomorrow. So I’m hoping these 10ks will at some point feel more normal. πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ‘πŸ½
