I ran in the Aware 10K for the first time on Saturday in the Phoenix Park. I was able to stay up with the lead pack for the first 3k but once we hit the top of the avenue I couldn’t keep up. I struggled after about 6K and the 8th was pitifully slow at 4 minutes. Disappointing but most people would be happy with 19th place. I’m getting better. It’s been a month since Dublin and the knees are all better. time for some heavy sessions again.

The two races have been covered on the great raching365 site. The Aware 10K on Saturday and the Second Race was the BHAA 5k in Marley Park.

I really have to get that application form submitted and join a club. Number one resolution is to get sub 34 minutes in 2009 and a top 3 place in the Docklands fun run ext year.

It’s been a great year with my first Marathon under my belt in 2:53 and top 100 finished in the 10 miles and top 50 in the half marathon. Thinking about the jingle bells but not too sure about loosing my Saturday night out. Maybe not drink and see how it goes?
