The First Milestone - 10k

Yesterday was a fun run around Olympic Park which finished by running through the tunnel and into the Stadium just like the Olympians 9 years ago.

My goal was to beat my 38yo brother. Ha ha, but truthfully, he is pretty fit at the moment and could be a challenge, especially as I know him so well and he will save something for that last 100m, not to mention want to tease me the whole way if he could...

Really though - I hoped to finish around 55mins. Anything under 60 and I'm on track, anything over and I would be disappointed.

The result...

Me: 58.53
Waz: 53.58

He beat me by 5 mins! I let him get too much of a start, thinking he would crash and burn along the way... oh well.

All up I was happy with my run, prepared that the last few k's would hurt as I hadn't run further than 7k in months.

Viv and Sus made the trek to Homebush with me and both ran well, Viv coming in sub 60mins. We tried to convince her to sign up to Paris - C'mon Viv!!!
