The Bristol Self-Transcendence Summer Series of races happens about a 20 minute walk away, and since there was going to be a trip to Pizza Hut afterwards to celebrate Rich’s birthday I decided to give it a go. It’s two laps of the ‘peace mile’ course around Eastville Park and there was a good turnout from Bristol and West. I was really pleased to get round the first mile in just over 7 minutes, and even more so to do the second mile faster having finally caught up to Rosey.

I then found out that I was 4th lady home (1st from Bristol and West) and got my very own medal, and a t-shirt from last year’s leftovers since I was new to the race.
