New Year's Eve 10k yesterday, through my village so no excuse really.
I was in two minds whether to run or not having been suffering with a nasty case of shin splints for a few months, rested from running for the last two weeks but gave it a go anyway, with no particular ambition.
Went off way too fast, knowing I was gooing to suffer later, but also trying to take most advantage of the tailwind at the start.
Turned into the wind and felt like I was going backwards. Didn't feel like I had much left at the end, but managed the last km in 4:07. Overall 45:43, 2min slower than PB, but still 146th overall, 19th age group.
