Itโ€™s just less than a week since I graduated from C25K & today I got a chance to fulfil a dream - Iโ€™ve run the Silverstone GP circuit ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง For an F1 nut like me was an opportunity too good to miss! Iโ€™ve been lucky enough to walk the circuit several times after events but running it was an amazing experience. After my hilly countryside home runs this was something very different - a wide & mostly flat tarmac track. I wonโ€™t pretend it wasnโ€™t hard - it was - but I made it - if somewhat slower than F1 times!! ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿพ Thank you Silverstone for such an amazing opportunity- see you in July for the Grand Prix ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

I think 5.2 or 5.9 km depending on where you read - but I suppose it varies a little depending on what line you take - listen to me sounds like I was racing round in a car!! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Oh I'm so jealous! That's now on my bucket list. I read about it on Twitter. Love Silverstone! Been to so many GPs!
