A cold but bright Sunday took us to Milton Keynes for a 10 K race. The problem I have with back pain has not completely gone away, but it didn't stop me running.
My chip time of 58 minutes 45 seconds was a little disappointing considering it was slower than my first ever 10 K (at the same course) in 2013 and way off the 56.05 from two years ago and the 55.18 at Eynsham at the end of November. I put it down to the cold and my back.
On the plus side, I actually needed to run at this slower pace as preparation for the Reading Half Marathon. And then looking at the results, 505th out of 1196 runners and I was second out of seven 70+ runners which I'm very pleased about. I guess we all slow down eventually.
