Staycation-day 7

Normal service for a Saturday meant of course – parkrun

Mile one-slower than last week, but cooler

Mile one and a bit-met a girl from New Zealand running in sandles, she flew past me on the down, but I tromped her on the hill, she was enjoying the view!

Mile two-I met Steph who was marshalling, we had met cyberally quite a while ago and although she has run Killerton a few times, this is the first time we have met formally! I do hope she did not mind my sweaty hand as I ran over to her to introduce myself. Ewwwww

Mile three-When the Garmin buzzed I glanced down at it, something I rarely do and realised that if I got a wriggle on I could get a PB, so I did and I did, by 6 seconds!

This afternoons trip was to the Seaton Tramway. We parked at Colyton, not far from the Church with a two shaped tower, seems the square bit is 12th century and the round bit added 200 years later!

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!

    Well done on your PB. We chickened out of the parkrun today and had a lie in.

    Well done – what happened to little madam – did she stay in bed? Or was she too full after the giant cheese straw?
