The plan for Sunday was a 10Km run so that Steve and I could get our 3rd race of the year completed and win another medal.
For 2017 we are running one race a month and it feels great to be a quarter of the way through.
Usually I go hell for leather in January with my fitness goals but by mid-Feb I’m back to old habits and letting myself down. This promise to do a race each month means that I have to keep the training going.
We were due to race on 11th March but due to sickness it had to put it on hold. So we signed up for a 10Km in Windsor for Sunday, and boy was it windy!
The first lap felt pretty good, and the 1st few Km were done at a decent pace, but I hadn’t done much training and had run 5Km Parkrun the day before and frankly I wasn’t really ready for it. We got round in an hour and 7 minutes. Slower than any other 10Kms this year. On some stretches the oncoming wind was so strong we could barely move forwards!
Nevertheless that’s another medal on the rack.
Steve and I have planned our races for the rest of the year and have actually booked the next two. We have decided to up the ante to a 10 mile and a half marathon as we have been able to turn up and get round a 10Km without too much fuss. The longer races we will definitely have to train for so we are hoping that it will give us the required motivation.
Onwards and upwards.
my happy life project
