Greenwich Park 10k

Saturday's run was a new one to me and it was Greenwich Park that would be the venue for my first 10k of this weekend.

On walking to the race start I discovered pretty quickly that the course wasn't just slightly undulating. It was really hilly, properly lumpy both upwards and down.

At the start Peter of the Mornington Chasers club was on hand to keep spirits high. He's always good fun and helps build an atmosphere even when we all know we're going to be suffering soon.

The run saw me following different people as and when the mood took me but I was generally moving forward fairly well. Although I hated them, the uphill sections probably saw me gain a fair little lumps of time on those around me too.

Despite my body complaining about it bitterly and despite a less than perfect looking time - although my opinion has mellowed on my time since finishing - I finished well and came in around 56 and a half minutes. Given the course I think that was OK.
