The Parkrun hangover cure

It was Nick's first time. Adele (centre) got a PB and Sarah (right) got her mojo back
14.06.2014
Parkrun always makes you feel better, even if you woke up with your head in a vice and your bowels all broiling after the night before. On a day that we learned that Parkrun founder Paul Sinton Hewitt has earned an OBE (or was it an MBE?) some sort of honour anyway, for services to sport, we are eternally grateful for this extraordinary institution. Anyone who scored a PB today will be fizzing with pleasure all week.  For the likes of me, who seems to be going backwards again, it's just what's needed to get the life back into a weary body and the determination back into a fuzzy head. I need to run the three miles 15 seconds per mile faster. Today I set off fast and was 1st woman for about half a mile. Build on that. Sleep and less food is the answer. Core strength work and cross training. Make time for the pool.
