Well I thought it was about time I got a bit more serious if I’m going to hit my goal of completing a marathon in the next 5 years, so I’ve entered a series of road races around Auckland - The Run Auckland Series.

It’s a series of 6 races of either 5 or 10km. I’ve entered in all the 10km circuits and the weekend was the first race. Having never raced quite this far before, in fact I haven’t raced since I was a kid, I was a touch nervous. But it went pretty well in the end.

The course was in Remuera, around the Waiatarua reserve. They claimed it was undulating, which I now know to mean hilly! I wanted to finish in under 55 minutes and managed 53:52, so can’t complain. Looking forward to the next one now!
