A sub 20 minute 5k was out of reach for the year and I'd gained confidence going for something longer after that long run with Dad so today I thought I'd potter around 10km (after realising I'd left my pump and tools at work so riding wasn't an option). Once I got going I felt comfortable at a good (for me) pace and so tried to hold it for the duration. Got around the flat 10k on just under 47 minutes, which I'm over the moon with, as I've never done sub 50 before. Every metre after 5k was a painful struggle, I won't be in a rush to try and best that time.
On another note, cheers for a good year of running. What started as being helped around a half with my partner by the wonderful @rhb has ended as a year of lots of genuine enjoyment from running. Let's see what next year brings.
