Hi All
Just thought I share. Having been running now for 8 months I decided to run my first race today.
I was a four miler and I was hoping to not be last and be under 40 minutes.
Beat both expectations.
139th out of a field of around 220 runners. Time was 29:11.
Mile splits were
1st mile 7:17
2nd mile 7:28
3rd mile 7:31
4th mile 6:55
Been on a hight since I got home
I know it's nothing when compared to all the fourmites who are running the FLM tomorrow but it's a start.
Good luck to all tomorrow. Will be watching on TV.

Well done :-)
Now have my sights set on a 5 mile race on 3rd of May,
Happy running.
Superb!
A friend of mine ran his first 4 mile race in a similar time to you and is now down to sub 26 and thinks he can go faster(I think he can as well). The best way to get faster and more into running is by racing. Your splits are excellent too, they are all very similar which shows that you have god strength especially as your last mile was your fastest.
Fair play to you and good luck with the 5 miler, are you going to try and run similar splits for the 5 mile as you ran for the 4 mile ???. I look forward to hearing how you get on.
leeeeeggggiiiiiiiiittttttttt
