After an aborted trip to Belgium, a lack of sleep on Friday night, a day spent working on my end of term NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) report and a lot of rubbish food consumed, I expected to plod round today's 10k.
However, to my surprise, I was feel fine after the first couple of miles so I decided to run a fast one. I pushed pretty hard and felt strong. I had to be careful of my footing as it was on the edge of the Common and dark and I had to slow to cross two roads but I still managed a sub 7 minute mile. 6:57 to be precise. With the same effort in daylight and with no roads to cross I could get that down further and I know I wasn't going at 100%. It's looking promising for having a go at my 5K pb soon.
Day 11
10.2 km

Good luck on your 10k a day in December. Good way to keep the holiday pounds away!
