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!

Well done on the PB. That must surely be worth extra Juneathon points!
