parkrun tourist

A few weeks back at Troon I'd restarted parkrun after a short time off and came home with my best result in a while. Troon's one of the flattest courses you'll find, which makes it a good test. Not bad for getting back into it, and it showed the pace was still there. The following week at Dean Castle was rougher, a reminder that one good run means nothing without consistency. This morning I came back to Troon with a specific target: break 31 minutes for the first time this year.

I arrived at Eglinton Parkrun at 9:05am this morning. I know. I barely recognised myself.

Another Saturday, another late departure. It was my first visit to Cuningar Loop, and I made it with fifteen minutes to spare. I arrived at 9:15, just enough time to find a parking spot and do absolutely no warm-up whatsoever.
