Vitality 10K

Vitality Life appointed me as a “Good Life Guru” some years ago. Who would believe it! Anyway, as a result, I feel obliged to run their London 10K race every year. Actually, it’s a wonderful and unique experience to run through the City of London and see all the familiar offices and monuments with the roads closed to traffic. I have really enjoyed it. But, of course, this year it wasn’t possible. So they organised a virtual race. And I loved it!

We runners could choose our own route, complete the run in the last week of October and provide evidence via an app. We were also provided with a vest number for those who wanted to wear it. I didn’t!

The experience was great. I achieved a time better than I achieved in my previous events as there was no need to weave around to overtake people. More important, it avoided the travel to the start in The Mall and all the usual waiting around. And we still received the medal and the T-shirt!
