Parkrun this morning.
Delivered a crown to someone running their 100th on behalf of friends who are out-of-town today.

Started chill, at about ¾ km, found myself running alongside a dude I vaguely knew, decided to stick to him.
Ran with him until the hill in the middle of km 5, at which point I decided to back of the pace (finished 20s behind him).
Anyway finished within 15s of PB. Think I've got it in my legs. Next time I try to push the whole way, I have a good feeling.

Ran home along the river after work today.

Considered doing it before, but never had.
Plan was about 15km and then to jump on the subway for the last section across town.

In the end I did about 16.5km, jumped on the subway for a couple of minutes (two stops), and then ran home the not-so-direct way from there. Rounded it up to a half-marathon distance.

Very tired, it took more out of me than I was expecting (because I ran more, duh).

Just completed my 50th #parkrun 🎉

Thanks to my friends who made me a 50 parkruns crown; yes I did run the whole way wearing it.

Then a coffee in the sun watching the fishes at the cafe.

... A successful palindromic time attempt was a bonus.
:o)

Parkrun tourism again, and number 49 done.
New PB (🎉), didn't quite throw up when I crossed the line (😅)!

Met a couple of people who I'd spoken to when I was here before; met some new people too.

Not sure I can understand why a couple of people went for a dip in the lake afterwards, wasn't warm enough for my standards.
