In the post race euphoria of the Great North Run I entered
us both in today’s Mansfield 10k while sat on the platform at Newcastle Railway
Station. Unfortunately the euphoria was not shared by L’s back, so now it’s
just me.
The third running of the Mansfield 10k turns out to be a decent
little event, once we’ve managed to park somewhere as the town has pretty much
shut down for the race.
The course is a twisty route with a few includes around the
town centre and surrounding streets with the start and finish in the Market
Place offering excellent viewing potential for my reluctant supporter.
There’s a 5k as well as a 10k which presents some excellent cheating
potential for any dishonest 10k runners. Not me, obviously.
My time is a steady and unspectacular 45:51. Not great but its
all about building fitness and remaining uninjured at the moment. It’s four
weeks to marathon day.
