| Soaking wet but happier with my time |
Bleary with last night's vodka, soaked by heavy rain, I jogged in a state of some apprehension to Hillyfields Parkrun. After the gallingly slow run of two weeks ago, when I struggled to keep up with women I usually beat, I was damned if I was going to suffer such ignominy again, except somehow, the vodka last night went down just too easily...
Still I was up in time to eat some Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and drink a cup of Organo Gold Coffee, which contains ganoderma, which according to its advocates, has an extraordinary effect on stamina. I'd bought a batch a few months ago and had been pretty impressed withits effects. I had one sachet left, and was deliberating about buying more. Today decided me. I felt much more energised, and my plan to try a 20 second sprint on every loop of the park, with a view to shaving half a minute off my PB, nearly came off. I may not have managed 22.45, but I did this:
| Hilly Fields parkrun results for event #93. Your time was 00:23:27. |
| Congratulations on completing your 58th parkrun and your 55th at Hilly Fields parkrun today. You finished in 24th place and were the 2nd female out of a field of 70 parkrunners and you came 1st in your age category VW50-54. Take a look at this week's full set of results on our website. Your PB at Hilly Fields parkrun remains 00:23:14. Congratulations on your fastest time this year. |
Next time, 23.10?
The Hillyfields Parkrun is, of course, hilly. Flatter 5ks are much faster. May the ganoderma force be with me at Battersea Park on 11 June.
