fleet 10k

well my running mojo is back  your running mojo you say  but you are all ways running !
this is true but there are times when in a race and things  do not go to plan and you start to back off
when you need to keep working at it as you just never know till you cross the line
sunday was just one of them days this was going to be my A race  that was the plan put all on the line and go for a pb
training had been going very well all the signs where looking good
but with two weeks to go i got a cold aka man flu this was going to be a bit of a spanner in the work's
so had to work on plan B this was still go for a pb but not put it all on the line from the start ?
race day
at the start line was good to see so many sandhurst joggers on the start line
and we are off down the high st on the 1st lap 1 km all ok 2 km all ok all looking good am
caching up some runners that set off to fast 3km am starting to get in to difficulty 4km i have to stop
but get going have lost 40 sec its ok i still have 6 km to go can slowy make the time up 5 km am running ok
6 km had to stop this time only lost 10 sec some of the runners shout come on you can make it 7 km ok 8 km i had to stop but get back running i see the 9 km i just have to dig deep and keep on going no stoping now
cross the line i am a mess then i look at my garmin i pb a sub 45 min 10km  very happy
