Completed my first ever race yesterday- the Southampton 10000 and finished in about 1 hour 19 minutes with an average pace of just under 8 minutes per km (that’s fast for me lol). The course was great but running (walking) over the steep Itchen Bridge twice is tough. Here’s a photo of it taken by Mike Daish Photography yesterday. Can’t see me 🤣 I would have been behind the camera - way behind. Loved every single minute of it. I love the support on this page, it most definitely helps. My second race is next Monday at the London Vitality 10000. Hope you all had great weekends xx

Congratulations and well done to you! Your first race is always special and I’m sure you have lots of fab memories of the day 🙂
Did you get bling?
Well done to you Mudita11 . That photo frightens me though, far too many people!
Thanks Cmoi. There were 1579 runners in the 10k alone. Not sure how many in total but there was a marathon, half marathon and a 5k too! As I was near the back it wasn’t too crowded luckily x
We had a 10 miles run here in Belgium yesterday (not me though) in Antwerp. It goes through a couple of tunnels and the last one often 'kills' a lot of people. Maybe your next challenge? 😉
Congratulations and well done on 1st race! They can be a very enjoyable experience.
Congratulations! I hope you got a medal ! 🥇
Thanks Dansac29 I did 😊 and a t-shirt too
