On your marks - my first 10k race day has finally arrived
It doesn't seem as long ago as 10 weeks since I started my Zest challenge, but Sunday marked the culmination of my training with my first 10k race.I was excited but really nervous - not helped by the fact that I turned up to the wrong park to start

My first 10K? I can't even make it round the park!

Challenge blog: 8 Sep - Running to the beat
