Can't complain

So, first evening Run after the clocks going forward, so I set off secure in the knowledge that I had plenty of time to do my run and not have to worry about losing daylight. Actually, in all honesty, that's been true the last couple of weeks, but the clock change gave me an extra hour of buffer.

So, with that in mind, did I go for a long, leisurely plod (which is kind of what I had in mind when I left the house)? No, for some reason my legs had other ideas.

Long story short, a new 10k of 56:04, knocking 2:15 off my previous time.

I've been averaging around 6:15-6:30/km recently, so no idea where this burst of pace suddenly came from, but it would definitely be churlish of me to complain about it.

Anyway, hope you are all staying safe. Happy running...

Not heard from you for a little while, glad that you are still enjoying your running, plodding, no way, that was running, a very good time of 1.07.20 for almost a 12K is not plodding, well done, I remember that you and I had our first parkrun in July 2019, since then you have ran much more than I have, congratulations. 😊 🏃🏾

Running has been a godsend for me and has helped keep me sane over the past 12 months. Hope you're keeping well.

It's always good knowing my headlamp and hi-viz gear can languish at the bottom of the drawer until the tail end of October. During the week, I am definitely an evening runner so things are definitely better once we get January/February behind us.
