My first 10k

I've been thinking a bit more in the last couple of days about my London post - and first getting into running. It was my first 10k (Wheathampstead), when I must have been 15 or 16, that got me into racing. Rather coincidentally I found a picture from that day very recently!

I must have run that first race in around 50-55 minutes (unfortunately I can't find the official race results online ). My times now are just over 39 minutes, having achieved the elusive sub-40 10k at the end of 2012:
