Ran the Leeds Half yesterday. It was good but hard going for the last 3 miles.
I ran the first 10 feeling strong and like a could run forever. Then I hit mile 10. The legs seized, the brain did not. I was determined. There was a little bit of swearing in my head. I gritted my teeth and finished in 2.10. 9 minutes better than last year. I was so happy. Not bad for an oldie.
I celebrated with pizza first, then curry for tea.
Today I mostly cannot walk.
Tomorrow will be better.
My friend who had only trained for 3 weeks finished in 2.02. He was pretty determined too.
It was great to have H and friend both there on the day. It is such a good event and H even got a photo of us at the start. I was already looking pink.
