Chase The Moon Olympic Park 9th March 2022

Currently I am behind with training this year and I needed a lift. A 10k is actually an easy race for me and I had no doubts about completing it. The Olympic park holds a special place in my heart for a number of reasons I won’t go into here. In short I was looking for an easy win or low hanging fruit. Race day came round and I was for some reason really worried about doing it. I have put on a few pounds since the marathon and I fill out my running kit a bit more, so I was feeling self conscious . Also I had a number of doubts about completing it (cue post about ADHD). Even though I ran a 5k the day before and a hilly 10k (yes I know) the day before that (Monday). It was flat course and smooth and easy (sorry). It was the perfect race for me in terms of current distance, timing, strategy and pace. I had the best time and ran all 10km with a smile of my face. I can’t wait to go back, the next one is on 25th, I will be away for that weekend which is a shame. So April then.
