And I ran it much faster than I thought I was going to! Where I live it's all hills - big hills. And the race was relatively flat, and where there were slopes they were lovely and gentle so I could lollop up them quite happily and I did it in 26 minutes 55 seconds and I could have gone round again! Hoorah for not smoking, hoorah!

Canwes1000 Days Smoke Free

Just wanted to mention, last summer I was running 12k regularily (3 times a week) as a smoker. In the fall I stopped running and just took it up again a few weeks ago as a non smoker, I'm only running 3k (3 times a week) now. I sure hope this changes quickly, we loose the ability so fast when we stop for a few months. Good luck on your 10k quest Incy.

@ Canwes - 3 times a week, 3k each time - that is much more than most people do (including me!)
