Had great fun at the Pednor 10 race today, it was great to catch up with the On TheRun gang, team@pace, @Andy J lewis and I got to have a lovely chat with James Davey and his parents before the race, the proceeds from todays race are funding his running blade. The race itself was good but very hard, it felt great to be back out again but with having no training and not running for 3 months and having virus I really felt it. The back of my ankle was really hurting after the first 2 and a bit of miles and I struggled to start with and had to walk a little in places esp on the hills but after the 3rd mile it started to ease a little and I was able to speed up a little and me and Asad Khan from pace were taking it in turns to overtake each other lol and as I got a little further down the road and I overtook Scott Richardson but he caught up with me and by then my ankle was hurting again and we stayed together for the rest of the run and crossed the finish line together. I completed the run in 57 mins which I was really happy with, I know I can do better but with all things considering I cant grumble with that and Im really proud of my efforts. Me and Scott had a good game of tug of Pinkie-powerleg after the race as it was so stuck on we couldnt get it off lol, My chest isnt feeling too great now and Im tired so its rest when I get back. Its going to take a while to get back to that kind of distance so the next few months are going to be taking it really easy. Well done to everyone who ran and a massive thank you to the Marshall who all were amazing and to Matt J Kirby Bex Stubbings and all the organisers of another great and successful race :)
