Ran my second 10 mile race of the year on Sunday. Managed a bit better this time despite the cold and got round in 71:03, which is around 9 minutes quicker than this race last year. Strangely, I enjoyed it pretty much all the way round even though it was mostly pretty painful. I think the nice course helped and managing to stay ahead of planned pace was a constant boost. Sub 70 is the obvious target for the next one in May, though i'll be concentrating on short fast stuff for the next two weeks for a 10k on the 24th. Fun fun fun!
