Description from Strava:
I hope everyone is okay after the big IT issues yesterday. It seems that the parkrun systems are working fine. This was my first actual run in a month as I have either been away or volunteering.
Yesterday was really warm at around 30C and I made use of our pool to swim a few lengths without getting too hot. This morning was still a little warm, but overcast. I jogged some of the way there, It is so convenient having an event near home. It was looking like a good attendance and a lot of the regulars I know were there. There seemed to be a few people doing their first ever parkrun, so I hope they enjoyed it.
The mud patch after the first corner is still there, so my legs got a little dirty. A lot of people seemed to overtake me, but I just kept going. There was one old guy I was following for a while, but I passed him after a lap.
I really gave it all I could today. On the finish straight my phone started ringing, but there was no way I was going to answer it. My dad keeps forgetting that I am likely to be running at this time on a Saturday.
The time was similar to some recent efforts. I will keep trying to run around 30km each week. I will swim too when I can as that is good for general fitness. It is partly about just keeping in reasonable shape.
I aim to do my usual long Sunday run tomorrow, but have not decided on a route yet. I may try some cross-country for a change.
We are off to a comedy gig tonight, so I shall report on that later.
Run free!
