What a fun race at the Run Chester Zoo π¦π¦π¦
Starts of with the first K through the zoo the following 8K on side roads through town and last K back to the Zoo for the finish.
Stayed overnight with my son who lives a short distance from the Zoo, but in a strange bed I don't sleep well, was lucky if I got 4 hours!
Was glad when it was time to get up and going!
Rain stopped just as we reached the start line,thank goodnessπ
Started by passing the elephant enclosure..π
Beautiful creatures π
Then down to business.. πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ
Slowish first K trying not to get carried away starting too fast, but got a good pace going quite quickly and kept it up till around K 6-7 where the incline made for a tough couple.. but.. pushing on through there was a music tent up playing 'Proud Mary' as I passed, that gave me some ooomph π΅πΆ
My son was there at a few points taking pics..
And I managed to finish with a PB of 1:09, that's two minutes better than my previous PB π₯
Feeling really proud of myself π
Felt all my training really payed off today π
Love my new bling π
Happy Halloween π
Happy Running all πββοΈπββοΈπ
