Parkrun a la Shaz

This morning we set off to our park run, madam eager to get a PB, as keen as I was to beat her this week.
However neither of us got a chance to try as it was cancelled which I would have known if I had checked the website. It did not occur to me to check to be honest as the weather had been ok all week, but apparently conditions underfoot were not great. (I told you it was muddy) I would imagine that they are trying to get the ground in better condition for the spring.
Parkrun have devised an alternate run across the road but only trialling it today so we headed home a little disappointed but on the upside madam got to eat her doughnuts sooner than expected.
I spent the next few hours arguing with myself about whether to run or not. 50 minutes easy was on the plan, but the weather became drizzly and the internal discussion continued. In my mind the run fluctuated from 0 miles to 5 miles back to 3 miles then to 0.
Eventually I headed out the door for 3.1 miles, my own parkrun.
Happy to report I got a PB and was the first in my age category!

About shazruns

I have been running since 2004 when I decided to do the Race for Life, as a close friend was terminally ill with cancer. Following that I did a couple of 10km at Leeds castle and Sandringham. Then in 2005 ran my first London marathon, then another in 2007 in blistering temperatures. I have entered the London marathon every year since but have been rejected, am now find maintaining my fitness & motivation hard, so when the email came through about Janathon I thought why not! Am hoping this helps with fitness, motivation and weight loss!! Wish me luck!
