First ever 10k completed

Over the moon! 16 weeks ago I could hardly run around my block and now I have done two 5k events and then today smashed a 10k along the coast for Marfans Syndrome in 1h 15minutes.

Yes I may have been sick as soon as I finished the race but it was worth the pain to finally complete one for a charity close to my heart.

No for the Great North Run in September!

Congratulations! Fantastic effort. You must be feeling really pleased. Don't worry about being sick, I think that's the adrenaline. I am sometimes sick after rowing in a regatta. Too much excitement, body can't cope! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
