Rhyl Race for Life - New PB

Last night I finished off the day by doing some toning exercises which consisted of:

50 situps
50 Inner and Outer Thigh lifts (both legs)
50 Bicep curls
50 Shoulder toners(!)
50 Tricep curls

Believe me even though I use small ankle weights and dumbells you can feel the muscles working with the increased reps. I see lads in the gym struggling to lift massive weights and their posture and technique is awful.

Today I took part in the Rhyl Race for Life, I usually do the afternoon race but thought I'd be different this year and do the morning. It's always a good atmosphere at this event and the sun had come out after a cool start. The kids had their ice creams and Sorelimbs took some piccies and all gave me good support as usual.

I had a race plan which has in previous years gone out to sea as soon as I start by going off too quickly but this year I held back and stuck to my own pace, it paid off as I was able to really pick up the pace in the last km. Still lots of room for improvement but really pleased with a new PB of 27:26 for the 5km.

We made a quick exit as Tom was going nuts because it was past his nap time and went home. My beautiful daughter had decorated my bedroom to say well done and had a lovely cup of Rosie Lea.

I'll do the toning exercises at some point later, need to start working on pressups because I'm crap at those!
