I did a 10k race, and I wasn't last! :-)

Posted on: 10 Feb 2008

This morning I did the Valentines 10k race nearby. I wasn't last! Not by a long way!

I admit though, I was definitely amongst the last few.
Time 1h10 (I forgot to press stop on my stopwatch, so I don't know the exact time :-( It took me a while after the whistle to cross the start line.)

I was so scared that I would be last! I have to admit, I have been running for more than 10 years. But I was always slow, and I'm even slower since my 2005 accident. I am physically disabled, and 'blind', but no one watching would know that!

And, to make me even happier, my marathon sponsorship is only £4 short of the £1400 i need!

Should I be embarassed to run? ^{03 Feb 2008}

Will I ever be as fast as normal people?
