Day 27

Week 4, Day 6 Saturday 11th August

My favourite day of the week, yet it was some-what difficult to get up this morning as I haven't been sleeping well recently.  for some reason, I seem to sleep best the last couple of hours before the clock goes off.

I had already decided before-hand that I was not running for pb at today's parkrun.  Instead I was going to take it easy and run at a leisurely pace with Kath.  I adviced her not to run too fast to start with as she only needs to beat her time from last week and give herself some scope to beat her pb again.  We were running at an avreage pace of 11.7 which is virtually in the middle between our slower runs and our faster runs and it is the pace we are expected to run our 10K race in.

Quite surprisingly we actually overtook a few people on the way.  Only one older couple and some parents with small children but it was nice to know that we were not last despite our 'comfortable' speed and later I found out that it wasn't even my slowest speed.  My first parkrun was even slower than today's.  It seems a long time ago now.
