This morning I took part in my second ever parkrun. My first was 2 weeks ago in mild ice then last week it was totally freezing and there was no way I was going to slip again and murder my poor coccyx as I did a few weeks ago. So today was a balmy (!!!) 6 degrees above freezing, the mildest morning for weeks. I set out without a particular plan aside from doing the run - I have an 8 mile training run for Reading Half Marathon tomorrow, so I didn't want to do anything too ambitious. Without meaning to, I managed to run the best 5k time I've managed in many, many months. So hopefully this won't have killed me for tomorrow - I did push myself and it was hard going, but a few weeks ago 11:30 miles were hard going!
Yesterday I entered myself for the Race for Life Marathon on 8th October. I may actually be insane. That said, as my fitness improves, so does my overall sense of wellbeing. I've set up a JustGiving page to fundraise for Meningitis Now, a charity close to my heart. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Marathon-for-Archie Distance: 5k Time: 29:09 Average pace: 9:26 Fastest mile: 8:56 Type of run: Threshold Cardio fitness score: 40
