Park Run (#295 lakeview) 41:45 [4] 5.0 km (8:21 / km)
shoes: Brooks Glycerin
The "I don't want to go" feeling started yesterday afternoon so it was with not much interest I went today. At the Start line I was only 1 of 3 people wearing a T shirt with short sleeves and it was cold. A reminder from the South too that a headwind on the home straight was on offer. Great!
Again when "GO" went I took off running - strange and possibly peer pressure, but I wouldn't have thought so. However I felt I was running for longer and faster and certainly people commented that my walking was fast (which it isn't! just little legs moving quickly). Thought I was on my ownsome today but around 1km mark Marc overtook me - in cognito. Fred out the front (he's an uphill runner) and Christine battling her way along. [Her later reveal was it was her first "run all the way" parkrun, slower than normal, but she's way ahead of me on that front].
Kept thinking Marc would overhaul me somewhere as he's been within 4 seconds of me the last 2 weeks. But he must have been off his game today as he was a distant 1:20 behind. Another 40 sec improvement for me and fastest time this year - a long way from the limping home and a very weak ankle which started the year.
