I'm training for a half marathon, and tomorrow am attempting my first 10k in over 6 years. I've got a route planned out. Depending which way round I go, it'll either be a lot of downhill or a lot of uphill. So, to avoid me making the choice, I'm leaving it up to the MN fates. Do I go left or right out of my front door? I won't try and influence you with if it is the downhill or the uphill route, but whichever has more votes will be the direction I run in. (I say run, I'm slower than a turtle in custard, but I will get round!)

Go left and I hope it all goes well. Slower than a turtle in custard is my new favourite expression!

Is this a circular route and you finish where you started? Because if it is, I'm confused.

Anyway - turn left.

Go right to face the traffic.

Yes, circular route, just one way round is more uphill than downhill, depending which way round I go 😂

I live at the bottom of a hill. One way has a really steep but fairly short hill, the other has a less steep hill but it seems to go on forever. While I know it's the same amount of uphill as down, if I run up the long less steep hill and down the other it certainly feels like more uphill. I don't know if the opposite is true as I can't manage to run up the steep hill. Anyway right.

I went left, which in my mind was the easiest route. Very pleased to get a 10k under my belt. Thanks for helping me decide!

To the left, to the left 🎶

Always go to the right. You'll never be wrong if you always head towards right. Anyways, left is sinister, by definition.
