VV 10,000 race day- smashed it 💥💫🏃🏻‍♀️

[LouiseA]

Morning all,

I made my final contribution to our COGH relay and completed the VV 10,000 race this morning, woohoo!

I set out early as it’s getting warm but it was a pure delight to run in shorts and t-shirt this morning, the first time this year ☀️

I really wanted a PB today, so have been galloping about up and down hills, doing some fartleks as well as some slower and longer runs as part of my own training plan. Gang, I did it! I am so chuffed, managed 10k in 54:14 and I’m astounded! Anything under an hour would have made my day, but I’m so pleased and looking forward to slowing down a bit over the next few weeks while I think about what I want to work on next 🤗

I really enjoyed it, really pushed myself at times (7km felt particularly tough) but am pleased with finishing COGH on a high and achieving my goal for the VV 10,000. I love the sense of achievement every single run gives me and seeing my progress - bring on the summer!

Happy running all and hope you all have a lovely bank holiday 🏃🏻‍♀️☀️🙌🏼
