#24 – 50 runs in 100 days spring edition
#58 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

 

Tonite it was time to run St Hans Extreme again, a 10K hilly race in the town where I live.

I have been wanting to get a new PB since the best time that I have was from the first year I ran, was thrown into a team the same day, had never done any hilly training before. The last two years the tempetuare has been around 30oC (86F) and me, running and heat are not best friend.

Tonite the temperature were around 16oC (61F), ideal temperature for me but a bit windy so I was not sure about the clothing. Threw down a long sleeve in my back pack and biked to St Hans hills. Met some other Coach K Runners, which is the running group I belong to.

Decided to put on my long sleeve because I do not want to get sick now, important race next weekend.

Was not sure how it would go since my spring has not been the best, glutues problems, back thigh problems and lower legs problem.

But when the race started I felt strong from the beginning. This year we started below the down hill hill which was the only hill I had not run up on this year but it has been some hilly running this spring.

I have always a goal to not come last and that has never happened. The first year I was the last girl that finished but I still was not last. Then I have advanced every year I have run

I was passing several runners during the race and had some people who cheered me on.

On the third lap I looked at my pulse Watch and saw that it was possible for a new PB and when I was running towards the last hill I knew that it would happen and it was a great feeling
