Well today was d-day, or 5k-day! Weather was good for running and there was a good turn out at the run.  Not sure about the course tho, it was advertised as a gently undulating course, well sorry but someone must have sneaked in and put two bloody big hills in, they certainly came as a shock and unfortunately developed a stitch so walked up these hills, was disappointed that i did this, but hey first timer. Rest of the run was ok, made it to the turn round point without stopping.  On the way back the people running the 10k caught up and gave me the encouragement to run the whole way back without walking, it felt great and the camaradary from people was fab! Plus it was mostly down hill hehe.  It was great to see my family at the finish line cheering me on which spurred me on to go faster.  I am pleased to tell you that i finished in 40mins, which i was very pleased with, as was hoping for somewhere sub 50mins but to knock 10mins off .

Sorry for boring the socks off you, just chuffed that i achieved this when in june couldnt run for more than 40seconds.  Well onwards and upwards, Hubby wants me to look at doin a 10k next year , a scary thought, tho will keep up the running and see how it goes, this isnt the end, its just the beginning.

Thanks for reading

Love Queenie x
