Today was the day!!

Today was the day that I did the 10k in Dalgety Bay.

First I want to say a massive thank you to Caitlin, I ran with her and she was amazing at keeping me going. At the end of the race, I didn't think I was going to manage it but she kept me going all the way. She was a wee star!! 

I also want to say a huge thanks to my friend Mhairi who came all the way over from West Lothian to cheer me over the finish line. 

As always the true spirit of CPT was there on the day and Lyndsay, Lyndsey, John and Louise came back to help me over the finish line. I love training with these guys, I've never experienced team spirit like it. Picture of us all below.

So the race itself:

Ran 10K? - Yep did it
Out of my fitness ability? - Absolutely but I did it
Would I do it again? - Absolutely would, in fact I can't wait for the next one

Unfortunately the organisation of the race was terrible. The front runners were sent in the wrong direction and they ended up running a mile or so more in the wrong direction and had to come back. When Caitlin and I got there, the marshall who was there wasn't interested and was busy talking on his phone. It wasn't until Lyndsey caught up with us that we realised we'd taken the right route. It's a shame for the people who were making good time.

I feel amazing now! Not amazing enough that I could run it again lol but brilliant all the same. So as a treat, I'm having mince and tatties for my tea tonight. Aren't I good to myself!!!

I'm definitely going to do another race and I'm really excited about the next one. 

We've organised a running club via CPT and are planning to do a run every Friday. Between running and CPT,  the next race should be running all the way.
