Got beaten by a girl who runs in U13 cross country, I could’ve beaten her in the sprint, honestly… should I have?
It was a bit weird, 'cos her dad (presumably) came gasping in 5 seconds behind us, but I’d basically been running with her for the entire last km and hadn’t seen him, and if anything she was slowing a bit up the final hill, so I’m surprised he hadn’t stayed with her earlier in the run.
Always, take what you can get eh?!
Yeah, no gifts 
Groundhog day for me.
Will be running next week though with a bit of tourism, possibly Harrogate or Wetherby.
Did Wimbledon today. Utter bog, must be miserable after a heavy downpour.
Trotted around again with a low 21. Feeling comfortable now.
Knee pain flared up on Thursday for no good reason so just went down to my local (Bognor) and watched (and cheered MrsF). Hopefully back next week.
Back on the tourist trail today at Wetherby, which was 3 laps round a sports centre field. If anyone ever did Wetherby triathlon it was where that was based.
Pretty heavy underfoot and slippery.
Only gave blood at 7pm last night so took it easy, and had a flying start after a toilet break
Anyway 25:15’ish
Had a lie-in today so went to Bushy. Arrived just as the horde was setting off so made for a good progressional run.
Maybe scraped a sub 21 finished a few spots behind Nell McAndrew, not seen her for a while.
Run number 92!
Muddy trails out to a muddy trail run and back again.
Mrs handed me a bucked of water out the door to wash down before I was allowed inside.
Easy 5km jog to parkrun then practically walked around in 26.45 but was nice to get the legs moving.
Bit different starting at the back there compared to Wetherby I only had to run through about 70 people
Location 49 for me.
Eldest, aged 6, did his first one today, just dipping under 40 mins.
He’s done loads of the junior ones, but can still be a bit temperamental about it, last one done a few weeks ago when it was really wet had him wanting to quit after about 200m having got his feet wet in all the puddles, which he’d enthusiastically stormed through at the start.
I’m under doctor’s (well, sports therapist’s) order not to run for 4 weeks so walked it in just under 44mins (got lapped twice by Jim). Was prepared to abandon half way (it’s 2 laps) if he pulled out, which I was fully expecting him to, so really chuffed he stuck it out.
Fantastic effort from your LO mate. Cake afterwards ? 
He went for a chorizo (sausage) roll, which again I was slightly dubious about, but he scoffed it down 
Brilliant
I’m pretty sure I only lapped you once… The other time I was running the wrong way… You also didn’t mention the fact it was the slowest possible weather conditions.
And 'cos of those conditions I went very hard after the first couple of hundred m’s to catch a group of 3 to shelter behind them for the first 1km. Which meant I got to 2km on pace for about ~18:30. Then carried on around for a 19:50 finish, still at least running 2km at a proper speed is good training.
1675 finishers today. I made it up to 155
Not run in 10 days due to ongoing knee issues so was happy with 24:42 at Bognor Regis. Didn’t push myself too much. Just getting round is good enough for me as the last time I ran further than 5k was at the London Marathon last year.
All is good.
Just seen this sent round my running club chat. Interesting source but seems true 
Surprised they’ve kept the age grading .
Saw something about it earlier, the message seemed to be that people doing 15 minute 5K’s was scaring off slower people from coming down. Times are still being recorded but it’s things like records being removed.
Seems a bit ridiculous to me, even the fast people are generally friendly and know it’s a fun event.
