My First 10k

Well, last month I decided that I fancied doing a 10k, after all the weight I lost over the last year and a bit I thought it would be a good test of my fitness and started doing some running at the gym.

Today I, and about 3000 other men, headed up to Bellahouston park for the Mens Health Forum Scotland 10k.

I'm pleased to report that I made it! and managed a fairly good pace as well. My overall time was 50 minutes 27 seconds according to the official timing.

Everything was going well until the last 3 km when it was on the road and baking hot but the crowds of people really do help by cheering you on.

All in all it was a great experience but not one that I'm going to repeat any time soon

Well done Darthy

I know what you mean about struggling at the end.

I did a 40 mile sponsored walk in May.... walk I hear you say? But 40 miles / 64 km is a longggg way to do in one day. So long in fact, that it took 10 hours 27 to complete.... I also passed out a couple hours after finishing... but that could have been the magners.

Anyway - whats your next challenge then?

Wow nice one Darthy! Now get back to some gaming lol!

Nice one darth Used to do some running myself, been a long time since I went longer than a few K's, fair play to ya!

Well done, i know it can be hard first time round but next time it will be easier...honest!

Nice mate, as I said on facebook, my hero.

Thanks for the kind words everyone

I really don't think I'm going to do another one, don't think my borked feet would take it but I really did enjoy that atmosphere!
