Lincoln 10K

On Sunday, A and I ran the Lincoln 10K to raise money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

Pre Race!

 Both of our families have been affected by these devastating Cancers, so it was a charity close to our hearts.

Our families came to support, waiting at the 5K mark to cheer us on as we ran past. The atmosphere of the day was incredible and it was so lovely to see so many people raising money for different charities.

As my first long distance run, I found it quite a challenge. However, I managed to beat my training time and complete the race in 1hr 6mins. The experience was just incredible. If you haven't done a running race before, I would definitely recommend it. Whether it's a Race for Life event, 10K or marathon! The feeling afterwards is indescribable and I'm still on a high.

To everyone who donated and enabled us to raise over £450 for an incredible cause, thank you. It means the world.

I'm now having a few days off of training, however on Saturday will be running my first Park Run to start training for my next 10K in June. I hope to complete it within the hour... I'll let you know how I get on!

Congratulations to everyone who ran the 2014 Lincoln 10K.

10K Completed!
