After much ado (on the treadmill and around the lake), the big 10k went off without a hitch (except for the "oh no I may need to walk, I need to walk...NO there's the "9k" sign, I'm NOT going to walk" moment)! The rainclouds parted for the first ever BUPA Great Wales Run and the 3500 of us ran 6.2 miles around Cardiff Bay in perfect weather. So what if the "elite" runners finished in the half the time I did, it was my personal best! Well, I hadn't even run that far before, but if I had, it would have been my personal best! Don't swim teams give out some sort of medal for these things?
With 800 meters to go...
(Cymru is Welsh for Wales. "Cymru," "Caerdydd" (Cardiff), and "araf" (slow) pretty much exhaust my Welsh.)

Most excellent run! Best news of all is that you creamed Eliot's time, I mean he can't even eat a bag of 7 grain organic free range tortilla chips as fast as you. Looking forward to seeing you hopefully at t-day.
