10km is a long distance. So to complete it in one go is an achievement. With my mind focused and ready on Sunday, I completed the race. Recovering from an illness, which stopped any training for the past week, I completed the race in 1hr and 1minute. No I’m not winning any places with that time, but I’ve achieved what I wanted. I conquered the mental barrier and I ran for climate change. On that note, I’ve also done some personal changes to reduce my footprint. I’ve changed light globes, I buy less plastic, recycle more, etc. All these changes have resulted in 1.5 earths to support me. That’s a reduction of half an earth!
Now the race is over I’ll continue my journey to reduce my footprint, but I’ll stop running for a while. I’m sure I’ll soon have some other green journey to work towards.
