Escrick 10k

After a 2 week break from running I finished the Escrick 10k in 43m30s which was a big improvement from my dire effort in the Askern 10 mile race. I took 1h28m to finish and was totally raced out after a spell of 22 races in 16 weeks. After a lovely week walking in the Austrian mountains I was more up for running again and enjoyed this well oraginsed race only in its 2nd edition. A strong headwind for the first 3k proved tough as did the heat but overall a nice run.

Idle 10k

Did the Idle AC 10k today. A lovely course, especially the bit by the towpath. Not officially measured but not a PB course anyway. Took it fairly easy and then had plenty left for a sprint finish and managed to win a spot prize of some running socks. The highlight of the day was definitely lining up in the same field as the legendary Ron Hill MBE. Tracey managed to give him a run for his money but ended up 20secs behind him, he has had more practice! Nice run, good goody bag and a really friendly atmosphere, just a shame about the traffic coming home!
