Yay it’s Saturday, that means Parkrun

I wasn’t sure Parkrun was going to go today as I was still a bit stiff from my long run on Thursday and my knee was hurting a bit. I had decided to run with my daughter and try and pace her to a sub 30 minute 5k. She can do it but hasn’t done it for quite a lot of weeks.

The weather was perfect for running which makes a change, it was about 6 degrees, cloudy and no wind.

We started further back in the crowd of runners than usual so we didn’t go off too fast, I wanted to try and stick to about a 6k pace. It all started well and my daughter seemed to be running quite comfortably but then we hit the hill at about the halfway mark. It is a killer although we managed to run up it once we hit the top our pace slowed. We kept going and at the lamppost near the end I encouraged my daughter to do a sprint finish. She did well, even though she was grumpy cause it hurt she was pleased as for the first time in weeks she did a sub 30 5k.
