Feeling pleased.....

.....with myself.....for a change!

I think I might have had a glass of wine when I entered the Canterbury 10. I don't race these days, it just stresses and depresses me, but I still love to run. Longer runs are often a problem - I usually have to go it alone, and finding the time is an issue. I sometimes enter an event after a glass of wine on a whim, and change my mind when the day comes. It does, however, mean a change of scenery and company on the run, so I tend to do the race anyway and treat it as just another run.

My expectations were very low today, I just wanted to finish the run. It was freezing cold, and I felt weighed down by all the layers I was wearing. I didn't bother to look at my watch during the run, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my time at the finish......in fact I was ecstatic!
