  • first crack at a 5k parkrun this morning in Highbury fields ... 28:51.

    Not fast, but haven't done any running whatsoever since about 2003. Will go back next week with no drinking on the Friday night (unlike yesterday) and hope to break 25:00. hopefully will improve more as time passes.

    was fun though, but running sucks.

  • hopefully will improve more as time passes.

    Definitely, baby steps. But yes, avoid the sauce on the night before! Is it not bad for your heart to run hungover?

  • Glad you enjoyed it. They were short of a barcode scanner, and asked me to do it once I’d finished. Fourth over the line, then on with the hi-viz layer to stand in the sun for 25 minutes trying not to fuck things up with my sweaty hands.

    The tree cover’s helpful round the course, but I’m starting to long for a crisp autumn morning. Freak temperatures fucked up my marathon attempt, and I’m still bitter about that.
