This year marked the 30th Anniversary of the Tjejmilen 10k, the biggest sporting event for women in Sweden. It is a beautiful run/walk through the royal park ”Djurgården” in Stockholm.

But this race wasn’t just for elite runners. It is a celebration of womanhood and open to women of all abilities. So I walked it. My very first 10k and completed it at a pace of 15 miles a minute.
