#running race

I did the TC10k race this morning. I completed it in 1:05:52!!!

This beat my last year’s time by a whopping 13 minutes!

I am super proud of myself.

I’m still nearly 15 minutes slower than my best 10k race. lol. But that’s when I was young and healthy.

I ran my very first 10km race in 2010 when I was 33 years old. I did it in 1 hour and 8 minutes. I’m 15 years older, with stage 4 cancer and a broken neck so even beating that time is absolutely incredible for me. I never thought that would or could happen.

I’m so lucky to have such a supportive kid. They came to cheer me on. I was very hot. Hence, the tomato face.

There were over 9,000 people there!!! It was packed! We had about 9 waves!

I felt pretty good through the whole race. I had some lower back/pelvic pain at the start but that dissipated. I was able to run up the hills. I stopped only at aid stations and forced myself to drink water. Around the 9k mark, I stopped to walk for about a minute to drink some of my electrolyte. That was the longest break I had. I tried to stay slow and steady.

My neck was sore and the upper back and shoulders but it’s always sore. I took 1mg hydromorphone, 1 Celebrex and 1 extra strength Tylenol 90 minutes before the race and it seemed to help.

This past week I’ve been feeling extra exhausted. I was thinking there was no way I was going to PR today. Goes to show, we are often a lot stronger than we think we are. ☺️

...well, this is not the race report I'd hoped to write 😅

I have completed the half marathon yesterday. I loved the first 7-8 kilometers - I was obviously running much faster than I usually do during my longer runs. I know the experts always say that you should be careful not to be carried away at the beginning of any race. But I really enjoyed it, and I figured that this would at least win me some extra time for later in the race when I would be tired and slower.

The problem started at around 9 kilometers...I noticed a sharp(ish) pain in the outer side of my left foot. I was able to keep running, but it bothered me enough to stop several times and try to massage it out. It did not get better. After 13-14 kilometers, I fell apart mentally and I walked a lot. I did not run for any significant amount of time after that point. I kept switching between walking and running very frequently. I feel disappointed about the walking - I have been training so diligently, I was not expecting to fall apart like this.

But there is a bigger issue, I'm afraid I have messed up my foot worse than I initially thought. It's the next day, it is red, swollen, and I cannot really put weight on it. According to my google research, it could be either a stress fracture, or (more likely imo) peroneal tendonitis. It seems both conditions take weeks or even months to heal.

I'm devastated by the thought of having to give up not only running but hiking too, for several weeks. I'm finally in a good shape again, and the weather has just turned really nice. This is a disaster.

By the way, I finished the run in 2:48:30, which is terribly slow, but still quicker than the time that was predicted based on my recent long runs. But I just cannot be happy about this right now.

I'm praying for some miracle to find out that my foot is not in too bad of a shape after all, it heals in a couple of days, and I can continue to improve my running instead of having to start from 0 again at the end of summer...

說到跑步，又想到一部動畫《強風吹拂》，相較其他運動競技動畫，這部的熱血更多是平凡貼近現實感的觸動讓人痛哭流涕。

Ran my first 10km race at the weekend:Athens gold hill 10km is an infamous local race up and down very long steep hills and cobbled streets which proved to e very slippery in the pouring rain,even though I broke my toe the day before and the course was flooded over knee height in 3 sections,I still managed a decent time of 58 mins 🏃🏼‍♀️ not bad considering.

No cute finisher pic because they ran out of medals (theyre going to be sending them to you after) but look I ran my first 10k. With a bathroom break in between, hot temperatures (I got pretty sunburned), and darn hills (okay slight upwards slopes but I'm Dutch so those things are hills to me). So proud of myself and everyone else who was running, especially those who were running in their underwear like me for the celebrate you movement.

Also shout out to all the people I don't know who took holiday pictures of me in my underwear running, you're all weird but whatever
