I had an excellent run today, excellent because I managed to get a new personal best for the 10k without "really" trying. I didn't plan it, so I probably felt more relaxed at the start and after conquering the almighty incline during the second half of the tunnel I felt very comfortable... so i thought sod it, run Jim run!

The tunnel was a great experience for me, I must have driven through it a thousand times, running through it was amazing. There were the usual shouts of "Oggy Oggy Oggy!" reminiscent of the Great North Run 07. The approach in was easy running downhill, then midway it began to level out and then.... a really tough incline, watching other runners dropping out just gave me the will to carry on.

I crossed the finish line on 44mins (previous PB was 47mins), I reckon my actual chip time will be about 43+ given the time it took to pass the start line.

All in all, a fantastic run, really enjoyable. If I'm still running next year I'll be doing this race again.
