I didn't get an opportunity to run in daylight today, so it was a not so scenic run along the A65 to Burley for this evening's run. No after effects from yesterday's race, but I was taking it steady rather than doing anything too ambitious. It felt good to just go out for a run after a day spent decorating. Tomorrow I'm promising myself a more interesting route.
I was thinking about Marc(Omeleteer)'s comments regarding my PBs. It is a bit embarrassing to have PBs that are more than a quarter of a century old. They don't reflect what I'm able to run now. Only my 5k PB is from this year & that's only because I'd never run a 5k until relatively recently. Another downside is that I've very little chance of setting a PB, except at 5k or marathon (although I don't really fancy doing another marathon). Maybe I should list 'recent bests' instead. On the other hand, it would be nice to think that I might be capable of running 34:25 again for a 10k (only 3 1/2 minutes improvement to make!).
Don't give up hope, Henry. At the age of 50 last year Jon Cordingley ran 15'44" for 5k and 32'57" for 10k, so it shows what can be done.
