At the beginning of August I decided that I would target the Great North Run as my main aim with the hope of running a quick enough time to gain me a place on the GB team for the World Half Marathon Championships in October. Training went well and I ran pretty close to my 10k PB just two weeks earlier but for some reason the GNR just didn’t happen for me!
Well once again I’m starting a blog by saying that a race hasn’t gone how I had hoped it to.

So Sunday saw the return to racing for me after some time out due to illness and my accident and thankfully I made it a winning return – happy days! My last race was Newton Aycliffe 10k back in June where I was beaten into 2nd place by Rosie Smith. Since then I have had a bit of a tough time of it. First off I was diagnosed with under active thyroid (see previous blog) and then just as I was getting back into things I stupidly ran into a metal barrier whilst out training and smashed my head open! (again see previous blog) After all of that I have now been back training for 4 weeks. |
