As I'm off work tomorrow I didn't run home from the office - it's just awkward leaving things there over the weekend - and as I'm away over the weekend I'm not going to get the miles in, so I decided to bring Sunday's long slow run forward to this evening. Unsurprisingly it was a little slower than on previous Sunday mornings, as it was very warm. It was still a fairly pleasurable experience, although I did notice several little twinges and was bathed in sweat. That's it until Roundhay parkrun in Leeds on Saturday morning.
A date has been set for this year's Birmingham Half Marathon. BCC have seen sense and handed control over to someone who knows what their doing! Hence the new name: 'BUPA Great Birmingham Run'. Apparently it's more or less the same route as last year (provisionally) but they're 'modifying' the start and finish areas. Thankfully they seem to be concentrating on improving things rather than just trying to increase numbers again. Fingers crossed it'll be fourth time lucky! Even so, after three poor experiences I don't think I'd be rushing to hand over my thirty quid, even if it weren't 14 days after Chester!
