What a week!!!
We've finally made it though the 87 weeks-long January, Forest had their best Premier League since result the 90s with a 7-0 win....and I broke my 5km PB!!!
I set out on Saturday morning planning on giving parkrun a good go. I had a good run in the summer of shaving my times down week on week, but haven't seen those numbers for a little while, so I wanted to prove to myself I still had it in me. I wanted to try and get something in the 26 minutes range, and I certainly didn't have any thoughts of breaking my all-time PB of 25:59, which I set way back in October 2021.
Pushing my imposter syndrome into overdrive, I headed further forward towards the start line than I felt comfortable with, conscious of the narrow start on the route. After that there were no particular tactics, I started off quick then just clung on for dear life until it was over!
I was so bloody pleased with myself when I stopped my watch at the end to find I'd completed it in 25 minutes and 46 seconds. The quickest I've done a parkrun in my life...ever!!!
Naturally, that's just been a small part of this week's total running. Other highlights have been taking part in the first ever DOrunning end of month pub run and kicking off a new challenge for February, which I'm sure will feature quite a bit in future write ups this month.
After a very quiet and un-sociable January, things get a bit more exciting over the next few weeks, which means I'm going to have to carefully plan where and when I get my runs done some days. But I'm up for the challenge and looking forward to getting out of Nottingham for some miles!
🏃♀️Runs done: 6
👟Miles ran: 34.99 (wish I'd realised 🙈)
✅Highlight: it's probably no surprise...that PB!
🤔Biggest challenge: being up and out at 6am one day to get my run in
🎯Target for next week: make sure to get two gym sessions in (didn't manage it this week)
