Thanks Pebsicle!
 AWwww thanks to everyone for their support and sponsorship - means a lot to me and if nothing else is a drive to keep going when you remember how many people have sponsored you  Had to be in central London on sunday at 8am! the race didnt start till 935 but we had to have pictures etc then it was a 35min wait till the start line. The run was ok... quite boring - should have worn music to be honest, but at least the weather was good! Horrendosly organised run though... the magazine said there would be 4 water stations en route and there was one Gatorade station only. Not impressed! Completed it in 1hr 09 mins and 54 secs... (yeah I know 1min10  ) which I was very pleased with! I was totally expecting it to take me 1hr 30mins... and I beat my friend Lou who did the Melbourne 10k in 1hr12... hee hee!Good job I have today off I say! Well done again Kate Kate v proud of you lady! BB x |

You did good, lady
WELL DONE! I'm reet proud of you. Fantastic time and congrats on beating your mate (tee hee ). I'm sorry it turned out to be quite boring. I was actually quite envious of you running past all those famous monuments, whilst I slogged around a park. Quite suprised they said they'd put on 4 water stations. That's not normal for a 10k. You usually get just the 1 (I poured my drink over my head. I hate drinking on the run, but needed to cool down). So the big question is... are you going to continue running and enter something else?

Yeah I think the most depressing part of the day is when we drove on part of the course back from the bowling later that day. :/
I honestly don't know if I will do another.. I never thought I would ever run 10K (my mum and dad were like: Mum: "Mei Ling! I'm so shocked you are running 10k - for someone who hated sports at school - very proud!" lol! BB x |

If you want some lolz:
Click on: www.marathon-photos.com and click on 'Asics British 10K' on the left hand side of the page, enter my surname on the left hand side in the search box and all my photos should appear. Couple are ok actually I was SOOOOOOOO glad to see the finish line, I beamed my way through the last 750m or so.Good job too! BB x |

Awww they're fantastic BBx
Proud moments indeed!Just had a look through the pics taken at my RFL (Nivea have them all on their website and you can download them free). They have a great photo of the start line for the SECOND race (at 2pm), but not for mine  I would have been on it too. Boooooo to Nivea!
