Finsbury Park 5K and OXFORD

I DID MY FIRST EVER RACE AND BOY WAS IT EXHAUSTING

but I came 20th (out of about 60 I thiiiink) and finished in

26:51

I was way chuffed, especially as I had set myself the target of running it in under 28 minutes AND the course had a devilish hill on the last kilometre which I practically crawled up. My brother came 7th SOMEHOW (this boy does no running ever) in 22 minutes. Boy was I a little bit jealous of that and I swear I will beat him one day.

(Unfortunately I am unable to put my picture from the race in because I don't understand computers but safe to say I look SUPER ATTRACTIVE when I run ;) come at me boys)

I've spent the first three days of this week on a History conference in Oxford which of course led to a RUNNING exploration of the city

Outside the college with my runspiration!

Emma is basically the fastest human alive I think it has been scientifically proven and so I was more than a bit nervous about running with her. Our first run was fine and fabulous but our one this morning oh my I thought I was about to cough my lungs out! But it did mean I ran faster than I think ever so swings and roundabouts.

We went ice skating and I was AMAZING sort of

A week and a half to my next 5k SQUEE
