First 10K :) :)

[alex2009]

My neighbours must think I lost it earlier as I cheered very loudly having completed my first 10K. 1:28:26 under the one hour 30 I had wanted. So one very happy runner

I started running mid August and graduated in October and have been slowly increasing my distance and took on the advice from graduates to do 3 runs - 1 long, 1 speed and 1 stamina each week.

I feel a new person, much healthier and gradually losing the weight more to go !!.

So now my goal to finish the 10K race for life in May seems achievable. Work to do on 5K to get PB down , currently 39:45 but it will happen

So to everyone good luck on all you runs x

You can achieve
