Last Saturday, sorry parkrunday, Graham, Laura and I went to Bramall parkrun for my 4th new parkrun this year and my 9th different event in total.
I'll post a specific post about the course, but my time was about where I expected at just under 35 minutes. There are various excuses as to why I was so slow, most of them self inflicted, Poor diet, no running in the week, beer the night before, weight gain and new running shoes, but they're all excuses. Gives me something to beat on my next visit, but I knew that I needed to draw a line. New start required.
This week, I've been better on all of those things. I managed to get a few runs in last week, with a 1 Miler, 2 Miler and 2.5 Miles. I've also joined the Gym to try and improve my core strength and help me lose weight.
This parkrunday, we (Graham, Laura, Matt , Paul and I) visited Worsley Woods, I felt a lot better than last week and set a time which was 38 seconds faster than my visit in March (a week before I knocked over a minute off my 10k PB) which I really wasn't expecting.
So it seems I'm good to go, which is lucky as I have a half marathon in 7 days time.
