I ran in a 5km race last weekend! It's something of a surprise really, as I would never have thought myself a runner. I always liked sport but running seemed particularly pointless. And when I started running earlier in the year, a race of 5km (that's about half an hour at my speed) with & against other people would have seemed impossible, as I found running for 2 minutes in a row impossible.
But there you go, application of self in the cause of improving fitness and enjoyment, led to this. And the race itself was rather fun, I even look like I'm enjoying myself in the picture below, although I did select a photograph of me after I spotted the camera... Probably more a fun run than a race (see antlers below).
I found myself not last, finishing in 27:26, including carrying Marisca for the last 10 yards! It was nice to have family support, and they got their reward for it with a chance to sit in the cafe with hot chocolate, and then a free mince pie for Marisca.
