Mint parkrun this morning. I've moved house so tried out the new local (Wythenshawe) and my pal joined me.
We did the standard "start a bit too hard and cling on for dear life" 5k. He was making noises early on so I thought he'd eventually drop off, but as he stayed with me further and further into the run I started actively trying to drop him, literally threw everything at it. Nearing the end of the last lap I got a little gap that he reeled back just before the last straight - perfect I thought, he must be knackered from that. Nope! He sprints off and had me by a couple seconds. So much fun. Literally threw everything at it, ended the run at 202bpm with vision blurring lol.
He's signed up for the marathon I was thinking about doing so not much chance of a fair all-out rematch for a bit unfortunately.
22:34 final time though, which I'm chuffed to bits with regardless of lOsINg tHE rAcE.
