parkrun…and waiting patiently for my 50 shirt

I went to parkrun again this morning.  Another solid sub-35, happy with that!  Volunteering next week though, because I’ll be getting work done on my tattoo on Friday so will still be a bit tender on Saturday.

I qualified for my first parkrun milestone shirt when I did my 50th parkrun in October, but the company that did the T-shirts had been having problems with shirt stock so there was a huge backlog with people waiting for them.  However, parkrun has now taken shirt production in-house so hopefully I shouldn’t have to wait too long for my shirt when they release them.  I should at least get it before I qualify for my 100 shirt some time in early 2019!

Back to running

Geth and I dragged ourselves out of bed this morning to go to parkrun for the first time in seven weeks.  Neither of us had run at all during the intervening period; taking this into consideration, I was pretty happy with my time, which was only four minutes slower than my PB.  A few weeks back in training (not to mention non-Christmas eating) and hopefully I’ll be back where I was in the autumn and ready for the 10k races I’ve got lined up for the spring and summer!
