I didn't get round to posting yesterday, so am catching up now, and yesterday I caught up with my running, as I had a lazy Sunday. The nine miles set for Sunday became ten on Monday, a familiar route down the Cole Valley, round Major's Green and back. It was a lovely morning, bright and cool with a slight breeze, though on the return I could sense the sun's heat on my back and was feeling pretty warm by the time I got home. I was aiming for around eight-minute miles, but finished in 1:17:29, which equates to 7:45 and my fastest time for that route.
My jacket wasn't found and handed in on Saturday, as I'd hoped, but a parkrun pal was running in the park on Sunday and found it! Thanks to Matt. I won't be at Cannon Hill parkrun this weekend so it'll be returned via my buddy Joe.
My second piece of good news, which also applies to 104 other parkrunners, Joe included, is that a small correction has been made to last weekend's results which means that everyone from 13th position back has been moved up a place. For me this means four seconds off my time and a new full PB, instead of the equal PB I thought I had! Seven other runners have PBs they didn't have yesterday, including two ex club-mates - well done to Cath, Carol and the others.
I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a third piece of good news, but I got my entry in for the Stafford Half Marathon this morning. The website states that 'Entry has now been extended until full capacity has been reached'. I'm not sure whether this just means that they haven't had the expected up-take, but I thought we'd better get in quick. I then checked the diary to find that it's just 33 days away... Eek!
I'm listening to ADF's new album, 'A History of Now'. No relevance, but I thought I'd give it a mention as it's excellent!
