Not feeling supperrrrr great, but not bad - by the end of a quick warm up I felt much better and more ready!
9 AM
Running race (Leeds Half Marathon) 1:32:31 [5] 21.1 km (4:23 / km) +190m 4:12 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide boost
AMAZING. So so happy. Had been aiming for 1:35, but decided to just set off steadily and see what my pace was, as thought I may be able to do quicker. Kept comfortable for the first 10k at a good pace, about 5s/km faster than 1:35 pace. Glad I didn't go faster as it got a lot tougher, and got super super hot, so once on Kirkstall Road it was soooo hard, and just seemed forever in the last few miles - got really hot which made it grim, super happy with how I paced it - absolutely shattered at the finish but still managed to finish strong, even had to a horrible sprint finish with two ladies at the end - but managed to not let them past me and came 12th lady!!! Super super happy, especially seeing as there were almost 7000 people in the race.
Overall a v special day, so much support from everyone all the way round the course - super duper. Legs v v tired all over.
