Tough week GG, glad to hear the run was good.

parkrunned yesterday, I was coming to the finish line and my daughter was there holding out a hand for a hi-5 - I had been targeting a lady in front of me to try and pip at the line but stopped for the hi-5 - it did cross my mind 'what would Matthew Rees do?!' lol

Live in the moment I'm sure your daughter would be happy with her hi-5 Taz.

I've just entered VLM ballot. Every year I bottle it but as I'm training for a sept mara this year I've braved a beginners luck!

My run on Saturday was a killer the hills! Uphill for 5 miles 😬 Then figured that would do me for the month but a cheeky 3.5 with geordiemum yesterday over the fells got me 61 for the month. Nicely ahead of target now (my target is 1000km I'm up 10m at the mo)

Parkrun this morning and it was our 250th run at Riverside. Went down with heavy legs but pushed myself round and I have definitely got a season best, and not far off a PB although waiting for official results.

On a downside I am heartbroken. Found a new mini cooper last night for sale, the guy at the garage rang as I was at my mam & dad's. Sounded perfect and possible great part x price just needed to pay a deposit to hold then a small 200m journey to look at it. Flew home to pay deposit rang up and the bloody thing had sold. I am devastated. I had my bank card but didnt want to pay with my bank card over a mobile phone (call me paranoid) and its meant I've lost out on a fantastic car. Gutted is an understatement.

9s off my PB but I never expected to get anywhere near it this year let alone today! So very chuffed with myself. Trying not to think I should have tried harder although at the time I don't think I could have pushed anymore. All in done 9 today 21.5m for the week. Mara training officially starts next week - eek.

Very well done Nutso amazing effort!

I looked back at my text and seems I've been consistently taking 20-30 sec off a run. I may smash my PB this year at this rate!!
