Completed my 10 mile race yesterday.
This is the furthest I have ever run and completed the race in 1:36:25. Was really pleased with the whole race. As I was actually treating this race as long sunday run, I didn't spend much time checking my watch. I just ran at a comfortable pace the whole way around, which meant I could really enjoy it.
When I got to the end I felt really good. I think my average pace was 5:59, which really surprised me as I though I was jogging around much slower than that.
I've never had any intention of ever running a half marathon, but maybe in 2013 I might give one ago. Only 3 more miles and I know I had quite a bit left in me yesterday, even though I'd never actually run as far as that before.
Certainly a big confidence booster.
Kind regards
Sal
