I have done quite a few races in 2011 starting in April when I did the Bungay Half Marathon and somehow came 2nd in a time of 1:22:24 which was a massive PB.
In May I did the Woodbridge 10k and again smashed my PB to run in a time of 36:53
July saw me attempt a new distance- 5 miles which I did at Capel St Mary. I finished in a time of 30mins bang on although my Garmin said otherwise!
I trained really hard for an attempt at beating my Half Marathon PB at the Ipswich Half in mid September. Unfortunately injury struck and had to pull out of this. After building the training back up I completed another 5 mile race in my local town and came 2nd but the time wasn't great as I was suffering with man flu.
My best performance of the year came at the Adnams 10k race in Southwold- there were a few runners I knew had entered and was determined to beat them....not only did I achieve this but I took another chunk out of my PB to finish in a highly satisfying 5th in 36:14.
My goals for 2012 as things stand are to enter a few more races and to try and beat my current PBs. I would like to go sub 1 hour 20mins in the Half Marathon (aiming for Bungay again). Sub 36 mins in the 10K, sub 29 mins at 5 miles and set something like sub 18 mins at 5k. I hope to update the blog a bit more too!
