For the first time since the Hylands Park 10km in October I went running yesterday (Sunday). I went to my usual stomping ground at Haunault Country Park and had a little trot round to see how far I'd dropped back since the high of the 10k.

So Sunday was the 10km cancer research run in Hylands Park. I had set this as a goal to see how training was progressing for the Marathon next year which I'm running for Diabetes UK, and get a feel for a proper distance run - training up until now had been light 2.5km run / walks. The Rat Race two weeks ago kinda jumped the gun on this first outing ( Read more... )
