Well, I bet your weekend running was better than mine. Usually Saturday mornings would see me training at my local track with my running club, but I was supposed to be doing the Bushy Park 10km yesterday so I gave it a miss to rest my legs. I had high hopes of a PB at the race, largely as I've not done a 10km for about six months and have trained pretty hard over the winter.
Alas, it was not to be. Sunday morning saw me doubled up in bed with a stomach bug (must be because I'm an elite athlete. Ahem.)
Fortunately for me it seems to have been a 24-hour thing, so I'll be back in the running shoes tomorrow, touch wood. And also fortunately, I have something of a race-entering habit at the moment, so it's only a few weeks until the next 10km race I've signed up for – and hopefully next time, the PB will tumble.
But enough of my woes, how was your weekend? If you did the London marathon, are you all recovered yet, or still feeling the stresses and strains of those 26.2 miles? Are you keen Parkrunners enjoying a little less mud now the sun has made a reappearance in the UK? As always, share below the line.
