Expecting a biting cold & dull day, it was with some trepidation that I opened the curtains on Sunday. However, it was gorgeously sunny, fairly still and much milder than anticipated, which was a good omen for the day to come.So, with a mounting sense of excitement I strapped my rucksack on my back and stuck out to trot to Holyrood Park to take part in my first 10k of the year in the company of 10,000 others.
