Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started. -Steve Prefontaine
Today I raced in the Twin Piers 10K. I got to the start line a bit late. I had to cut my warm up to 1/2 mile and then when I got to the start line with 2 mins annonced I realised that I didn't have my number on. Nightmare! I dashed back to my bag and pinned on my number so badly that I pinned it half on my top and half on my shorts. Luckly the race organisor waited for me. Sorry everyone.
Well once the race got going I did the first mile in a respectible 5:22 and then managed a good steady pace:
5:22 5:50 5:12 5:19 5:28 5:24 1:05. The second mile had a steep hill for about 1/2 mile.
A PB with 33:40 and 4th position. The weather was perfect, no wind and a good cool temperature. If only the hill could have been ironed out.
My wife and daughter came along so this made the day much more enjoyable.

This sounds intense. 1/2 mile warm up really? I just do some star jumps. Must be really hard for you to keep weight on mate. Nice one on 4th place!
Thank you so much for all my encouragement and being so consistent, it really does mean a great deal to me
