  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 2nd attempt today. felt a lot better. Mrs OWK did it too.

    incidentally I ran in a pair of Asics Gel Nimbus 12, whereas last week was wearing my Nike Huaraches. Definitely a better experience. can't wait to see if I was faster

    running still sucks though :)
