My first Swansea Bay 10k and a personal best too!

So, after falling flat on my face last Tuesday in the rain and cutting/bruising BOTH knees, I managed to do the 10k on Sunday achieving a personal best. To be honest once id started I couldn't feel a thing and was determined to run the full 10k without stopping. It was a lovely day... Weather was great and the sun starting shining too! Was quite nervous about the event as the majoribof entrants really do treat it like a race... In comparison to the 5k Race for Life and the half Marathon where there are many runners wearing fancy dress or those who simply have the aim of completing it.... The 10k was simply full of people trying to achieve their personal best... Including me too! I started the race with a slow pace so that I wouldn't wear myself down. My timing for the first half, 5k was a great time of 36 minutes.... And the last 2k I certainly picked up the speed. And for the last 400k could only be described as a sprint for me... Lol! It felt really great to finish it knowing that I hadn't stopped! So, the mission now is to keep training right up to the half marathon.... Need to work on my stamina and my speed as really want to come under the 2hr 30 mins.... Train, train, train.... Need to pound the pavements at least 7 or 8 times before the big day!! Even if just doing 5ks!
