Park Run again this morning and it was a beautiful day in Walsall Arboretum. I crossed the line and the volunteer scanning bar codes asked "Did you enjoy that?" The only reply I could give was "Not really, but at least I finished".
Having used some of the Couch to 5k podcast and 5k+ extension packs, the voice-over tells you that sometimes you will run well and sometimes you won't. I could think up some reasons why I didn't do so well - some might be right, but really, they'd only be excuses so I'm just going to put this morning down to one of those days I just didn't run well. Next week it's going to be different - although if someone can tweet me (@plockplock) before 8.45am to remind me to make sure my shoelaces are done up properly so I don't have to stop at the first corner and re-tie them, that would be appreciated.
Even though I was slower than in previous weeks, my finishing position was actually higher. Somehow, I also managed not to be lapped. Having said that the Aldridge 10k is taking place tomorrow, so some of the runners may be keeping their powder dry for that. Good luck to anyone taking part in that.
