I did a race AND enjoyed it!
This was race 2/4 of this year's Midweek Road-race league - a 10k. I set off near the back in order to ensure a conservative start. The plan was to run within myself for at least 5k and then see how I felt. As it turned out I ran 'easy' for 6k and then picked up the effort. This made for a pretty stress-free experience. The time of 42:19 was also a pleasant surprise given that I've hardly run at all this year. Perhaps the comeback trail may be a little shorter than anticipated?
Having said that, the main aim was to enjoy the run and being with friends - 100% success on those criteria. Hoping for more of the same in the coming months.
As a bonus, team-NHRR moved up from 6th (bottom) to 3rd in the MWL Div1. table - get in!
