Last 5k before next week's MoRun and a new PB! Very happy with 35:57 :) Could never have envisaged getting below 36 minutes a few weeks ago. Not fast by most people's standards but I'm :) :) :) :) :) :)

Fast by my standards Ancientmum, you'll blast through that race x

Thanks Marly. Doubt there'll be much blasting going on during the actual race (unless it's my language!) :) Been told to expect muddy and hilly, so anything under45 minutes will suit me nicely ;)

Yikes, how long is it? Sounds tough, but you can do it!!! X

Only 5k lol :D but it's seriously hilly! I'm used to running in Suffolk, it's manny many years since I've run up a hill in Yorkshire (about 40 I reckon, lol) :D :D

5k sounds enough! One hill only on my parkrun yesterday & I have been wiped out since! X

Ooo errr I'd better not plan anything for Sunday then. Sounds like I'll be spending the day sleeping it off :)

Thanks Sweetie, I am feeling quite smug, I have to admit ( and trying hard not to think about the MoRun course too much, lol) :)

Treat duly eaten, Kat. An M&S chococcino muffin- the king of all muffins. There's still one left in the packet and if daughter no.2 doesn't get out of the shower soon, it will be following its friend into my stomach! :)

Haven't decided if I'll do one or two more short runs before Saturday. What do you reckon? Tuesday and Thursday, or just Wednesday? xx

Oh thanks Ali! I love the happy song. Actually it's a bit of an ear worm with me, so now you've mentioned it, I'll be singing it all day. :) :)
