Newy Park Run 31:36 [3] 5.0 km (6:19 / km)
Only 23 seconds off a PB which I'll take considering how I felt and the slowing down effect of traffic caused by of a whopping 589 starters.
As usual, started toward the rear (where the walkers ought to be!!!) so it took me 33 seconds to cross the start line and I didn't even take a jogging step until 50 seconds into the run. The first kilometer was bedlam for we pram pushers. People everywhere, changing lanes, it is hard for prams to be flexible in this sort of traffic so by the 1 km mark I was about a minute down. This slow run meant I did come home a bit stronger overtaking many more than overtook me but I just couldn't make up the lost ground. My PB of two weeks ago always looked safe and never threatened to any degree. As I said I'm pleased to get that close.
Maybe I'll be an arse and start closer to the front next time.
Really did feel better for the run and pleased we didn't miss it like we did last week.
