This is my first post for nearly two months. I'm now back on my bike and running properly again, with left wrist and right knee well recovered. My speed took a knock during March with a cold which went to my chest... it's hard work getting any kind of tempo with a litre of slime in each lung.
I've done a couple of Eastleigh parkruns recently. On 22 March I managed 18:48, and yesterday 18:44. The latter was a PB at the current Eastleigh venue and I'm really pleased with this. In both cases the winner was Andy Morgan-Lee, who is the same age as me but is in a completely different league. It's a real privilege to run with stars like Andy, who recently won the UK cross-country masters championships. On 22 March he just strolled around the first two laps chatting to his mate, and then whizzed past me in the final lap.
Yesterday was Eastleigh's 200th parkrun, and attendance was higher than normal. Some of the Lordshill runners came over for the occasion. I was well behind Andy Griggs and Ashley Forbes, but ahead of Ben Pitman. The stage is nicely set for the RR10 season, which begins at Netley on Wednesday.
