I did the Stockport 10 mile race on Sunday. Really pleased. I came 3rd in 59.49. I wasn't expecting to get under the hour. It was my first 10 mile race and quite a tough course with a couple of undulations and one long hill so a time wasn't on my mind.

I started off a bit too quick probably near to my 10k pace! This got the better of me at about 7 miles and on the hill I suffered a bit and Pete (from my club) came past me. I tried to stay with him but didn't have enough there. A bit later a girl came past me and I stuck with her for a while but then I started to drop off.

Really want to do another one now on a flat course!!
