After the thrill of my first 10k in Llanelli, I was eager to take on my next challenge: the Newport 10k. This race felt different from the start—still exciting, but with a new layer of confidence. Having one race under my belt, I knew what to expect and how to pace myself.
The course in Newport was a mix of city streets and scenic river views, offering a fresh experience compared to my first race. I started strong, feeling more in control of my pace and energy. The familiar rhythm of running was comforting, but this time, I pushed myself a bit harder, aiming to beat my previous time.
The final kilometers were tough, but I felt more prepared mentally and physically. As I approached the finish line, a sense of accomplishment washed over me. Newport wasn’t just about finishing another race; it was about seeing how far I’ve come since Llanelli. Crossing the line, I realized I’m not just running races—I’m building momentum for whatever comes next.
