I didn't go out with any goal in mind, other than to do the 10k circuit that I'd planned, but I finished in a time of 1:02:07, so I'm definitely happy with that and it means that in the past 12 days, I've now completed the set of PBs for 5k, 10. 10 miles and Half Marathon; which wasn't something I'd anticipated doing.
To put the above into context (if it needs any), this time last year I was running the 20 minute Week 5 Run 3 of Couch to 5k, where I managed just over 2.5k. One year, 170 runs and 1,100k later, and this is where I am now.
I am definitely fortunate that I live in a part of the country where I have access to paths and trails pretty much right on my doorstep. I'm not sure I'd have managed those early runs if I hadn't somewhere out of the way and (almost) out of sight to struggle my way through them; and now, with the current COVID related restrictions in place, I'm even more grateful for them than ever.
Stay safe everyone...
