Hivernales 20km

This annual trail race is hosted at our school by a local running club. There is a choice of a 10km and a 20km so as I'm training for a marathon I chose the longer distance, which was still a little short. I therefore did a three mile warm up and a long cool down to get the miles in! I was looking forward to this race as I had a concussion last year and couldn't take part.

I had a really strong run and even enjoyed the large hills! I was fourth lady overall and second in my age group winning a lovely pair of running shorts. My husband had a good run in the 10km and as the races started at the same time a really good friend of ours looked after the kids as his wife was running too. Our kids had a blast playing with their dog and cheering on all the runners!

This afternoon was spent at another friend's house eating cake and drink tea for the adults, and lots of PlayStation gaming for the kids, as it was raining again!
