Tough 10 Challenge. I was dreading this as I've only been running 3M every now and then. My predicted time was 2:00-2:15 as this is a very tough course, tough terrain and the weather was wild and wet. As expected I did find it hard by mile 2 and thought maybe I wouldn't bother with the second lap up the hill and through the woods but by the time I got to 4M at the top by the water tower and on the downhill to the toll road again, I was loving it. Had great run round on the second lap on the road but by 8M I was starting to feel well out of my comfort zone as stich gallore set in and legs were tired. Breathing started to get a little uncontrolled too. By 9M I was wobbly but had to hold it together as I knew Rich and the kids were round the corner. Looked at my watch to see I was 1:30 and was WELL CHUFFED!!! So did my best to get through the last mile with pouring rain and head wind. Stopped for a little kiss or two and then made my way to the finish to hear my name being called out, which was nice! Great to see Peacemen before and after too and had a pint together
