First 10K in 4 Years - Done :)

[smokeysmoo]

Ran my first 10K for 4 years today. Did 6.15 miles in 1:01:03 which was 9.58 minute miles, and I was pretty happy with that.
Last 10K I did was around 54 mins, but I was a good 2 stone lighter back then. Hopefully I can get back to that point sooner rather than later.
I've booked another 10K for April, so I've got a benchmark to beat now.
That was it really, I was just feeling pretty chuffed with myself and thought I'd share it

Nice one - that's a decent pace. Did one a few years ago in about 9 mins.

Hmmm world record ? :-)

Not really!

I just glad to get round under 10 minutes.

Well done Smokeymoo. I always find running takes a great deal more build up than cycling and I'd be quite happy with that kind of time for a 10k. Mind you if I could do it in 10 minutes that would be better
