this morning I did the Bupa !0,000 Challenge in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity and completed it in 1hour 36minutes!
It might sound a little slow compared to the women's champ Jo Pavey who finished in 32mins but considering I'd done no practice of sorts or anything extra I'm pretty pleased with myself - but tbh as long as I finished within 2hours I wasn't going to complain!
definitely putting myself up for it next year but hoping to do it in around 1hr 15 which I think is doable - just got to practise!

me looking fairly tired with my lovely medal :)

    I'd love to do a half marathon - I'm thinking of doing the 10k again next year but being able to run the whole thing (did a combination of running and walking today) and then look into doing a half marathon the year after :)

    thanks everyone!
