I’m in the final stretch of the Run 4 Wales 10k series, and it’s been an amazing journey so far! With three races already behind me, my next challenge is the CDF 10k on September 1st. I’m excited to cross that finish line and complete the series, but there’s a bit of anxiety hanging over me due to the knee injury I picked up at the London 10k. That sharp turn still haunts me! I’ve been focusing on recovery and training smart, but it’s definitely on my mind as race day approaches.
What keeps me motivated is not just finishing the series, but also raising funds to qualify for the Cardiff Half Marathon. The idea of running 13.1 miles is both thrilling and daunting—it would be the furthest I’ve ever run! The support I’ve received so far has been incredible, and it’s pushing me to stay committed, even with the injury.
This series has been more than just ticking off races; it’s been about pushing boundaries, setting new goals, and seeing how far I can go. The CDF 10k is a big milestone, but it’s also just the beginning as I work towards the half marathon. I can’t wait to see what’s next and to keep challenging myself—hopefully with a fully healed knee!
