Hi all. Just finished my 10k race with a new PB. I was so regretting the second bottle of montepulciano d'abruzzo last night. Friends phoned up with vouchers for Strada that would have run out so we went for dinner. Great that it was italian and I had the pasta. Not so good 2 bottle of wine between 3 people.

Off I set and did a variation on my normal route. I was trying to get sub 60 mins but didn't manage it. Had to walk up some early hills but now I've finished and have knocked 40 seconds off my PB so I'm H A P P Y !!!

Hope you all have great runs today

GF

Well done GF!!!! 10 k's have the capacity to go either way I find. It depends on what happens en route as you found. You could run the same route several times and then compare times and splits etc. That's what I'm doing at the minute. Of course running in different weather conditions will vary those times but you can average them out

I'm off out now for a 9.7 k fast and it's dead windy. Sigh

Thanks MW yes it was very windy. I was glad I'd taken my running top for the warm down ;-)

Yep. It was windier on the return leg but I felt warm enough. When I got home I felt chilled to the bone. I just got back in time as it began to rain heavily and Sleet? Phew
