#10kmrace

[bluedesignwall]

It was race day today. The final race in our 10km series. Today's race was all terrain. We certainly ran on a huge variety of surfaces. Boardwalk, sand-trail, sand-beach, sand-forest,trail-forest, grass, a tiny bit of road. I fell down but I got up again. I slipped on some grass and fell into a hole, rolled my ankle and ended up lying on the trail. I did a little limping but was soon off running again thankfully. So my first fall in a race, not a milestone I wish to repeat.

Ten kilometre trail race at the Christchurch Adventure Park today was a real test of my hill running. They were some serious hills. I ended up walking up the second time around. The course had to be changed due to all the rain we had last night. The trails were all clay and very slippery. My shoes were soon caked in clay and got heavier as we climbed. Second time around I realised we were above the clouds and there was an awesome view out over the city so I took a quick photo. Man what a tough race, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had more juice in the tank. The extra biking I have been doing for the bike challenge has zapped my energy levels a bit and I felt it. Still a fun event in a cool location.

Medal Tuesday (ooooops, sorry for the delay) and showing off my 10k medal. Chaffed with my time as it was only the 3rd time I came in under 47’. The best thing was that I felt really great and was running strong to the finish, even though that part was slightly uphill. Met with some other fellow runners too, which made it all that much more fun. Then enjoyed the sunshine with friends and family. Great Sunday!! #10kmrace #kallithea10km #runnersofinstagram #rungreece #aclaphamrunneringreece #runforthesoul #runningmum #running #runner #springrun # (at Kallithéa, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBsJuKgB6F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bb0caw7wv3zv

Very happy and a bit surprised about today’s performance at my 10km race! I was only going to treat it as a tempo run as I have been slowly regaining my fitness back and as I haven’t been training anywhere near as hard as before. But I felt well and I managed a really decent time for me (half a minute over my PB). The best thing about it was that I felt great, especially during the final kilometers, my body didn’t tense up and I finished strong. I’m really chuffed by this. (at Αθλητικό Κέντρο Αγ. Κοσμά)

Awesome route, killed me when we had to run up a couple of hills, saw what Shoshanguve has to offer, nice scene towards the stadium. Best route so far, very challenging. #SifisoMkhasibe #safmh #samham #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #runningformentalhealth #10km #10kmrace (at Giant Stadium)
