On a bitterly cold Sunday morning, we made the short drive over to Bramley, for a very popular local race - the Bramley 10/20 miler. Yes, there was a 20 mile option, but after discovering that it is merely another lap of the 10 mile race, it didn't take much persuading for Bryony and I to work out that 10 was a MUCH wiser option.
As you can see, I did brave shorts, but that doesn't mean that my lower legs appreciated it.....you can still see snow on the ground!! We "gave it legs" and made it round in a very respectable time of 1hr 19 mins (was aiming for a sub 1hr 20 target), so we were both delighted. I think we were more relieved by the fact that we had chosen the "10 mile" option, as watching people go through the finish line, turn round and have to go back out again for another 10 miles, we were very appreciative to be done for the day.
One great perk of all this running is that we can eat anything and everything most of the time and it would have been rude to have walked past the bakery that we had to run past at the start AND at the end?! So, after fuelling up with a bacon butty and cake, we could make our way home, satisfied with a good days work.
