That's a fantastic amount to knock off your PB - good man!

Well done daktulos!

Well done daktulos, a 30 second shaving is impressive.
I got out again this morning for a very humid run. 7.5 miles total. I felt quite knackered and was sweating like a pig, so l was quite surprised when I noticed my time a few miles in so I pushed to 10k. I ended up setting a new 5k and 10k pb. Which is good especially as I got referred yesterday by the doc to have a blood test and chest xray regarding a sore throat issue I have had for a few months now. I hate bloodtests, so something to look forward to.

Just back from another run, this time with all 3 kids on their bikes. I discovered a pump track in the woods a few days ago when running, so we went to have a go. Pace set by A. Her first proper ride on her big bike (20inch wheel). 3.8 miles.

Blimey Martin, you're putting in the miles! In fact you're all putting me to shame what with new PBs and running frequency.

I've just got back from a short run around my local loop.

This was going to be an 8 miler along the river to Pontllogel, but I reached the splitting point of the run and went for the short version instead. It's pretty warm and muggy and certainly too hot for Mabel! It was a pretty slow plod round too with a couple of stops for her to get in the river.

Glad I got out though.

Thanks, guys. I just need to keep uninjured now. My wife is trying to persuade me to run Race To The Stones next year (100k) with her ... I have a year to prepare!

Speaking of which, one of the parkrun HQ team (Tom Fairbrother) came first in this year's race in 8:30 and was then disqualified for going off course right near the end. You have to feel for him!

After a couple of rest days, I got back out with the running club tonight. 7.3 miles.

Hoping to get out in the morning for a decent length run as I don't need to go anywhere early tomorrow.

DarrenSV650S · 17-07-19, 09:16 PM

It's too hot to run. That's my excuse this week

Really early while it's still fairly fresh is a great time to run Darren.
