Run from home down to Lake G for Parkrun. Very foggy in parts, especially crossing Ginninderra Drive. Arrived with great timing at the end of the briefing.

Parkrun at Ginninderra with quite a few orienteers including Frogga, robw, LazyDave, BB and Acejase - but no girls this week. I started comfortably and was surprised to see Garry (my age group competition) in front of me after a few 100m but passed him as he slowed, or I got into a better rhythm. Went through 1km in about 4:10 which is good for me. From then on I just concentrated on driving my arms, being more upright and relaxed. It felt easy until the last 500m when I had a glance at my watch and realised I was doing ok so pushed a bit harder. Ended up 5 sec off my PB but its the 2nd fastest I have run there so pleased. Just need to harden up and push it the whole way.

BB showed a couple of weeks cross country skiing in Canada is good prep for running by running a big PB today!

Home for a quick shower then had a nice coffee and croissant at Beppes with MaryMac and BB.

Picked up my bike from being serviced and took it for a spin to the end of Forde then back home. It felt nice.
