Bella 5k

Completed this race in a pedestrian 25.22.  Had been nursing a slight calf strain while holidaying on the Isle of Wight -- but managed a couple of 20-25 minute trots along the prom.  The 5k went fine so I decided to have a go at the 10k as well -- a bit of a mistake -- about 4k in I felt a twinge in the calf so stopped there and then.  Good decision -- a couple of days ice and rest and a sports massage at the weekend should see me as right as rain again.  I needed both races to have a chance of completing the club championship -- so it was not a totally headstrong decision, but better pulling out and sacrificing the championship than risking more serious injury.  PS Isle of Wight is a lovely place.
