Park Run 34:54 [4] 5.03 km (6:56 / km)
The epic fail for the week continues! Great conditions, weather quite cool. Felt quite good for the first 250m, but just as leepback went past me I felt really sick - not the usual controllable sort. so for the first time in months I walked a bit in the first bit. and today i seemed very reluctant to push through - being too kind and giving in. Legs felt a bit weird too - for them anyway.
Eliz - 7:34 - a bit surprised given the errant behaviour. Tried to lengthen stride and succeeded mostly.
Cone - 17:06 - WOW that's about 20sec ahead of previous benchmark. Didn't recognise how good this time actually was for me and thought very negative thoughts so just plodded along.
Eliz -27:15 - still far too much walking and negative thoughts - just finish and beat myself up!.
Finish - 34:54 - at least under 35 - just. Pretty pathetic.
Only saving grace was the lengthening of stride for much of distance.
Nice talk afterwards with Peels, Wooter MessEng, Bob, Warren H and Bridget.
Position wasn't too bad, but I've no control over that - grasping at straws here.
