Parkrun done and dusted. 28:56. Course had dried up a lot from previous weeks which probably explained a faster time than before Christmas. Wasn't feeling that positive when I woke up but really nice to see people again and have a catch up. There was also cake afterwards as a 100 milestone had been reached by one of our regulars. Not that I need more cake but it was good!!
Then had to drop car off for Mr PL and into town for usual shopping. Bumped into a friend so had a quick chat as well.

Got home to find the cat had been accidentally shut in the kitchen so for once she was pleased to see me!! (after I had let her out)
Have a good weekend everyone!

Long run here. Started off cold but ok but heavy snow for the last 6k was just miserable because I could hardly see and the snow kept stinging my eyeballs.

sounds uncomfortable ITG - well done for getting it done :)

House has been de-decorate ed . Should takes the lights down from the plum tree, but I'll miss them, they are so cheerful in the gloomy evenings.

Well done all parkrunners, runner-marshals, and all points in between :-)

bunting for some New Year PBs from Molesy and Knitwit :-)

Sheesh. Although that training session wasn't, in retrospect, amazingly hard in theory, I found it really hard going in practice. I may have got the miles done in 2019 but I appear to be stuck in the one pace - very slow. I must get back to the track I think.

Well done Molesy & Knitwit bunting

I, ahem, also had a parkrun PB today. 22 seconds off. And parkrun no 99. No 100 will be much, much slower!

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
