Don't expect a medal and T-Shirt on these runs, They are well organised events for the love of running and give you the opportunity to run Sussex taking in some of the beautiful countryside and oldest towns and villages in the county. You may not get some flash goodies from these events but you will get a rather nice race bib!

Bank Holiday Monday was the turn of Lewes Athletics Club to hold their annual 10km. I only found about this league late last year and have only managed to run two (Tilgate and Horsham). So, this was my first run with the Lewes Athletes.

I started off quite strong completing half of the athletics track and out into a small lane heading for the A27 pedestrian underpass. After that it was out into the country using footpaths. I suddenly became very aware of how hot it was. Running in the open using footpaths and across fields you feel quite exposed to the elements.

At the 6km mark I was beginning to really feel it because of the heat. My trustee bandana did it's job in keeping the sun off my head. The last thing I wanted was to end up with sun stroke or a sunburned head!
I was aiming to achieve the 10km in one hour. At 6km I didn't think I could achieve it because of the heat and went across the finish line at 1 hour and 30 seconds.
