To race is but a dream...

Thanks for the advice TheEd. The ankle was fine yesterday (rest day) and didn't even cross my mind this morning as I prepped for the local Parkrun. Small warm up run and plenty of stretching as usual before running hard.

1. 3.54
2. 3.52
3. 4.00
4. 3.51
5. 3.53

Time 19.29 for the 5km on Garmin! :taped: There is a hill on this course on laps 1, 3 and 5 but very pleased with consistency of times as once again did not think I was running THAT quick when occasionally glancing at pacer on watch!

The actual race measured long on Garmin. I have taken the 19.38 as PB as published time. Details below;

Really shocked myself with this today. So pleased I hot up and went. Will probably go and run the half tomorrow and treat it as a training run. Note above new max heart rate of 217, up from 211.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
