Abbey DASH - and it was...

Woo hoo! I did it. I did it. I did it. Not that I am in the tiniest bit excited in any way!

44.42

I broke the 45 mins and knocked over 2 mins off my pb. I am one very happy lady tonight.

It was freezing cold this morning and had snowed overnight. At one point I thought I was going to have to run in the sleet. Dressed up in about 15 layers, but by the time I got into town it was much warmer and I was able to remove most of them.

I managed to not set off too quickly and kept to a fairly even pace all the way through the race. Coming up to the end I did the hill up near the pool and then looked at my watch. It was on 44.16 so I absolutely pelted it down the Headrow to the Town Hall. I'm not sure where I found the strength from for a sprint finish, but I did and screamed 'YES!!!!!!!' as I looked at my watch to stop it.

It was lovely as there were so many club members running today and seeing them all come through the finish with loads of pbs was just great. We went for a cuppa afterwards to celebrate.

My official photographer (lol) came and took some pics for me. I must have been going fast as some of them are a little bit blurry.

Mile splits were:

1. 7:07

2. 7:11

3. 7:17

4. 7:06

5. 7:00

6. 7:16

+ 1:41

Still on cloud 9 tonight. How am I ever going to get to sleep?!
