Parkrun #30 and another PB

I haven’t been to parkrun since Stratford on 9th November, but I am at home this weekend for a change and the weather is perfect for running. It’s Lincoln Christmas Market (250k visitors over 4 days) so Market Rasen was the parkrun of choice. I wasn’t planning on a PB, but legs felt strong, breathing was good and my first km was 5:27 so I decided I might as well. Official time 28:48 (41 seconds faster than my PB at Stratford 🙌), I was 77/136, 10th fastest lady out of 49 and first in my age group 😳🥳💥 Strava 5k time 28:33. HM training underway! Happy running everybody 😃

Brilliant PB Sandy, there’s no stopping you now! And when you go skiing, you’ll be whizzing down those mountains too.

Brilliant run Sandie, and PB too 👏👏👏👏. I am sure there is more pace to come 🚀🚀. I have been neglecting Park Runs. I needed to fit in a steady 10k this morning to fit with the programme. Felt really heavy going; must be the new exercises and wearing trail shoes! Rest period coming up 👍.You dig in your cellar for something nice to celebrate 🍾🥂😊😊

Thanks BC. I seem to be on a roll and it feels really good. I bought a bottle of Swiss gin last weekend so, along with a bottle of Fever Tree, it is calling my name 🍸
