Race day with husband

I think I had few posts titled race day. Oh gosh I have done lots of these in sunny Welsh capital. Some were very good and others were a bit poo but as a rule I would come home happy, excited and with new bling for my medal hanger! It’s from Etsy of course! Cardiff 10k was the 1st “grown up” race I did. Before Cardiff 10k 2011 I was just running easy and relaxed race for life where all women claded in pink would walk, run, jog... well actually this is no more as my hubby did the inaugural race for life for everyone!  The excellent thing about Cardiff 10k is that it is super flat, usually very well organised... however were was one year when there was no water station.

Like a million! and the finishing like surface was... well so freaking lumpy it was hurting my feet. But over all I had a great race day! We both were really pleased about extra special medals they made for 30th anniversary of the race. So cool! Edgar really liked these. ...
