Happy new year & all that 
34:51 in boxing day 10k.
Obviously disappointed with the time as a felt good on the start-line & was pretty well prepared (despite some over-eating the day before!).
I went through 5k in 16:52 feeling strong, but then the wind really picked up (25mph+ gusts). My Garmin also clocked the course at about 10.15k (went through 10k at 34:24). Not that that stopped the winners from running sub 31min!
Anyway. Have taken it all very easy since then. Planning to start up with the 2k's again tomorrow (pending a little soleus pain that crept in earlier this week... I think from 'dancing' in heeled shoes
)
Considering a fast 10k on 3rd Feb (after 2 more cycles) and a fast Bushy Park 5k somewhere in the middle.
