Today was the Radcliffe 10k which I had pre-entered a couple of months back. My hip is still sore though so I decided that, whilst I'm still running, racing would be a bit silly. I had initially told myself that I'd just jog around but I knew that I wouldn't do that and would end up trying to race it and causing my injury to worsen so I decided it was best not to do it at all and I gave my pre-entry to Colin Wood instead.
I drove to my mum and dad's house, which is just off the route of the 10k so I wandered down with Ruby to go and watch. It was a lovely day for it. Nice and sunny, but not really hot and there was a nice breeze. I was quite jealous seeing everyone running by, but there's always next year.
I decided to have a bit of a run along some of the course with Ruby and we headed off in the direction of Ringley Road. From there the race goes up onto the road and along it, but we went underneath the road and continued along to the M60 motorway, before turning back and retracing our steps.
On the way back I bumped into some old friends, Dave and Karen, who I haven't seen for a good few years. It was really nice to see them and we had a good chat whilst Ruby played with their Staffie dog. They seemed to be really enjoying themselves which was lovely to watch as Ruby doesn't usually get along with other dogs.
Total distance - 4.65 miles
Week's total distance - 22.4 miles
