I did it in 1 hrs 54 so broke the target 2 hr barrier and managed to maintain a 11 min/mile pace.Last two miles were the hardest but managed to muster enough energy for a sort of sprint finish. Got a big blister on my right heel probably because I put shock absorbing insoles under my orthotics so my ankle kept slipping about - silly girl.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.
I have entered the 5k saltram run on the 18th and only after this saw the 10k which would have been more of a challenge but at the 5k you can go round as many times as you like so i will just have to go round twice!!
SE thanks for the club at Marjons that would be perfect for me as i live in Mainstone, so i have sent them an email and fingers crossed i will fit in there.
When i did the Brooks run i found it easier running with others i just have to be brave and join.
Good luck with your race firsttimer. Of course another way to get faster is to just race a lot!

I ran with some of their ladies at the Plymouth Hoe 10 - I think you should fit in really well as they seemed like a friendly bunch. I noticed they go out on a Sunday morning. Most days I enjoy my solo runs but sometimes it would be nice to go out with others.

Firstimer good luck but I'm sure you will be fine and made to feel really welcome. Being part of a club really encourages you I had loads of people coming up to me last night congratulating me on my race on Sunday - I felt like I'd come first!!!!
