York 10k 2011

Jane Tomlinson York 10k 2011

I ran this event last year and loved it so much I did it again only this time roping Lee in too. Over 6ooo people ran and what a cracking day weather wise it was too. The route is superb, its almost totally flat and winds through the city centre along the river bank and past the minster whilst the bells chime. You cant really get much better than that !
Had a bit of a mare at the start as I was busting for the loo. The queue was enormous....

.....so I never got there and had to start the race busting ! After 3 miles I saw a sign to some loos and nipped of...I wasnt the only one so had to wait a min or so but I didnt care. That was such a releif and I felt great then, I knew I'd blown my chance of a PB tho so just did what I could.

Finished with a time of 56.16 not good really as last year did it in 51.42 but I guess the pit stop really didnt help !

Great event , would deffo do it again.

York 10k 1st August 2010

York 10k race is run in aid of Jane Thomlinson and is very popular having over 6000 runners. Great event that starts and finishes in the grounds of York racecourse. Course is flat and runs through the town centre and along side the river. The route also takes you right past the Minster whose bells were chiming as I ran past giving me a heart warming boost. Supporters were everywhere and really cheered everyone on.
Got a PB on this course at 51.42 which was brilliant. Thanks to Lee for waiting for me and cheering me on x
