Me and My Medal :-)

Me & My Medal

Well everyone, I’m pleased to say I ran the Great Scottish Run 10K yesterday in a time of 1 hour 8 mins 56 secs, taking 7mins30secs off my last 10K time (May this year-and was my first ever 10K!).

I was over the moon.  The last 2km I got a sudden burst of enery and managed to put a real sprint in towards the end, no one passed me on that last 2km! 

My aim is now to get my next 10km in under the 1hour mark.  As you know, I’ve signed up for Craig Ballantyne’s turbulence training, so on my non tt days I’ll be working a 5km circuit aiming for 10 minute miles on this, which brings in my half hour activity for non tt days, and this is something I now love, me loving running, who would have thought a year ago I’d be saying that! LOL.

Some other exciting news for you today, I am going to be participating in next years London Triathlon, Olympic Distance!  Through twitter I’ve hooked up with another Scottish lass who is organising a team for next year, in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer.  The team is in the process of being put together, and I will blog more on this when I know more, so stand by for that!  Angela is also organising a Scottish Triathlon for October 2011, and I will post more on this as I find out more details. 

Me 'n my medal!
