Bristol 10k

[Krissie]

Well it really was a hot day for a run. I was really glad that the 10k race set off before the HM.

I have been trying for ages, years even, to run 10k under the hour and yesterday I managed it. I was really pleased with my time of 58:08.

C25k got me running when I was approaching 60 and yesterday I was the fastest in the 70-74 age group at Bristol. Running over the last decade has brought me an amazing amount of enjoyment. Thank you everyone and I hope everyone continues to enjoy their runs 😀🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Hi, I am on the right hiding behind sunglasses and a hat.

One of the others is my daughter who has got into running since I started. The rest are all youngsters, more my daughter’s age than mine, but they are very welcoming to this crazy older runner who keeps turning up.

Running really does keep me going 😀

🤣😂🤣I should have put my glasses on and realised that only one of the group looked to be in the 70-74 age group. You look so fit and healthy. How lovely to have encouraged your daughter to start running and now join together with her on a race day. Wonderful 😊
