well, first one completed, have the 'medal' as evidence which i will take to Barchester foundation office this week for safe keeping.
mental note to self: if I ever do anything this silly again, check the first race doesnt include a lot of hills...should have known though, given Sheffield is my home town ! Had decided it might be good to follow someone around, preferably someone who had embarressing personal habits when running, but that went by the board as the people i started tracking set off far too fast and i probably had the most embarressing habits of anyone. (more of those over coming months). But, i did notice that i gradually pulled back a couple of the 'hares' and my uphill speed isnt too bad.
Finished in about 55 minutes which is a target now for the other 8 10k races. Lincoln is in a fortnight which is the one that got me started on all of this last year...it wont be as hilly so i have no excuse for matching if not beating that time
wot is really lovely is the people who have wished me luck for today ...hope i can keep up interest and encourage more people to sponser over the next few months.
I am going to try and find a few hillocks over the next couple of weeks to run up so i am not so daunted by hills, but thats not so easy where i live
anyway, stopping waffling now
