May 2 - The Bupa Great Edinburgh Run 10k:
A run through the city centre starting and finishing in Holyrood park. The first obstacle was the hill, Arthur's Seat, lasting the first km then through the Grassmarket, the Meadows, over and down the Mound, then the Royal Mile to the finish. A great course getting the hills out the way in the first half and the sunny weather brought meant there was fantastic crowds cheering us on. A great race with a great course and I established a personal best time, only to beat it in the next race on May 9!
Time: 1h 7 mins 13 sec.
May 9 - Ignis Management Women's 10k - Glasgow
Ignis Management Glasgow Women's 10k. Starting and finishing at Bellahouston Park the route took us through the residential south side of Glasgow and through Pollok Park. This race had fantastic support from the local residents who were out in full force cheering with their home-made water stations and you could really feel the energy! A mostly flat course except from the hill in Pollock Park at the 6-7km mark meant I was able to keep my pace up and got another personal best!
Time: 1h 5 mins 35 sec.
