I took a rest day yesterday. After last weeks appalling Park Run effort this week I am more determined. I turn up at Norman Park and it is a frosty winter-wonderland.
I start off well and keep going. After 1.5km there is an opportunity to dump my hat and gloves at a thoughtfully placed basket for this purpose near the finish. I take the opportunity. But this is a mistake.
I keep thinking I am going to warm up but my hands get colder and colder. By the finish I am in agony thinking that I am on the verge of frost bite!
The pace had slowed but it felt so much better than last week. I look at the time 22"54. My PB is 21"45, so just over a minute slower is not too bad given the conditions and the fact I did not push all-out.
I am definitely on my way back.
5km 22"54
