Sunday 10th May Awsworth 5K was a good day for myself and clients. in the 2014 5 clients entered the race all setting really good times. This year there was 7, including one who ran it last year walking this year while pregnant.

I went into the run with a 5km PB of 22 minutes 30 seconds from the previous year. The weather was warm but really nice for running. Once again it was a really well organised event down to the Notts & Lincolnshire Air Ambulance flying over to start the race.
I felt like I go off to a good start and by the half way point I was feeling good. However by the 3.5km point you hit the last hill back up to the finish line, clients all think the hill goes on forever! When you drive up it, it takes all of 2 minutes, running it is a different task. I was at a faster pace than last year and by time I hit the hill my legs were starting to feel it. At the end I had no sprint finish left which disappointed me but I managed to set a new PB! 21 minutes and 31 seconds, finishing 23rd of 566 entrants.
With my clients there were a few new PBs beating last years times, a few people setting their first ever 5k time and Jo walking it with Lauren in fancy dress while pregnant and Jack running around in his Lightening McQueen outfit.

Once again it was a brilliant run, and really well organised. Bring on 2016 for my 4th run at the event and some clients 2nd.
