New Year 10 K

Did a 10K race this morning and managed 40:51. Did the best I could today and not too worried that I didn't break 40:00 as it was horrible conditions, 4 degrees howling wind with snow and sleet. Also there are no K markers and us semi fast 10Ks had to dodge the half marathon runners on the same loop course so had no feel for pacing.

I've also put on 4 Kilos in the two weeks I was away with all you can eat buffets for breakfast, lunch and tea. Anyway got another chance
in two weeks and I'll my best then. Also I had a terrible nights sleep and found a pea under my mattress this morning. That's all for excuses!

I'll get back to training and try to lose a few Kilos.

  1. You still sound like you have some good fitness. To run 40.51 in what sounded like horrible running conditions is a great effort. I look forward to reading about your sub 40 min time in a fortnight. No pressure intended ;-)

  2. Glad it was a pea under your mattress and not a pee on your mattress :-)

    By the way its not a real holiday if you don't put on weight.
