Race For Life!

So, on Sunday I actually ran the Race for Life in Cambridge. And on Monday I was much too tired to blog about it.

It was a lovely day. Bright, dry and warm without being too hot and sunny or wet and dreary. The 5k course was a zigzag round Jesus Green and Midsummer Common so that the end got closer many times before it was actually the end. When it was a less zigzagy course last year you had to do two laps. People complained that they thought they were finished after the first lap which made the second lap much less fun.

I walked intentionally only a couple of times which was good. I did have to walk a few other times when the run bottlenecked but they were only brief walks so I just going to ignore them. And I finished (beetroot red in the face as always) in 36:42 which I am very happy with.

I wore my medal all the way home and took it into work.

Now to start training for the Flora 5k on the 4th of September!
