So close!

Not been in here much recently, as husband has been on holiday from work. I’ve still managed to go out on my runs and keep up with my current plan, I’ve just not wanted to spend the extra time to compose posts afterwards.

Anyway, he went back to work this morning, so I headed off to a very windy Parkrun to do this week’s Speed Challenge run.

The Garmin hadn’t found satellites by the time we started, so it’s come up a bit short, and I know MapMyFitness isn’t particularly reliable, but I was really hopeful that i might have actually done an ‘official’ 30 minute run. Alas, it was not to be.

I ran to the tunes of ‘Mumford and Sons’ this week, which seemed to suit the weather better. If it isn’t too hot next Saturday, and there’s a 30 minute pacer (I didn’t spot one today) I might even try and stick with them. Otherwise, I’ll look for the gentleman who ran over the line with me the week before last, as he overtook me today just before the finish funnel, and I’m assuming he’s aiming for a 30 minute finish too.
