The Running Librarian

Last Sunday (14/2) I ran the Sidcup 10 mile, this actually started at Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar School, so not technically in Sidcup, but we won't hold that against them. The race took in some of the residential roads in the vicinity of the school and was a 3 lap race.

Now I'm not usually a big fan of races that are based on laps, but this was a lovely flat course with only one slight incline so I was keen to see whether I could set a new PB for this distance and whether my ankle would survive the pavement pounding!

Unbelievably I shaved 3 minutes off my previous best time for 10 miles with a time of 1:15:56 and placed 186th out of 389 runners. I was absolutely over the moon with this result and the best thing no ill effects, which is good news as my next race is the Tunbridge Wells 1/2 Marathon.
