Park run, February (best time 25:09)

Here you go, February results! Bit late in getting this started as I missed the first run of the month and then it’s been crazy busy since then.

Feb goal: 25:30 – Smashed at 25:09
January best time: 25:40

I knew I was in for trouble when Benj announced to the whole parkrun that I wanted to do a sub 25 before the end of Feb. I must have one to many beers when I made that comment! Anyway, what was done was done. But what I was not prepared for was the very cool thing Benj did next. He ran the whole way with me and pushed me hard but kept me motivated. The course was an extra 100m longer on Saturday, so in theory it was a sub 25. But I’m over the moon to smash 24 seconds off my previous PB… wow. Thanks Benj, for the support and the training sessions over those dunes!

3 seconds short of my goal for Feb, but I’m calling it done cause I’m so chuffed to be that close to it 🙂 So I guess the goal next week it to try match it or get under 25:30 if the weather is good enough. I thought it was going to be a really unpleasant run this morning but it was quite nice actually. Not hot and the wind was not to bad. Little tough as you turned on the beach but it was low tide so the sand was nice and hard, think that helped make up for the head wind. Anyway, really happy to be running 25s now and to feel I can so a little more too.

Tough run. Really felt it. Wonder if that was because I missed the week before? Did train in the week but not any distance over 2km really. There was also a stiff west, so up the hill from the start to the water tower was tough and then when we turned on the beach again it was really hard. I did come 8th though! Into the Top 10 🙂 Whoop whoop. Actually a few of the really fast guys where not here this week… but still, 8TH!
