Morning Run: parkrun 137 So tired

@steevc just finished a 5.03km run, that lasted for 27 minutes.
This run helped steevc burn 317.0 calories.

Description from Strava:
Yesterday I had my first dip of the year in our pool. It was cold at first, but I swam for a while. Later I got some fish and chips to have with a beer. A storm was forecast for the night and there was some rain as I went to bed. I then had a terrible night as I woke up at some point feeling really hot and it took a while to get back to sleep.

Despite all that I was up for parkrun at Henlow Bridge Lakes today. I jogged some of the way there and it was a good turnout again. Some lady had a rainbow balloon to celebrate 350 runs. I set off trying to keep my friend Graeme in sight as I know he is quicker than me. After about 2km I caught him up, but he pulled ahead after that. I was quite quick at the start and kept pushing. The result was my best time in a couple of years with a big improvement on my best this year. I am very happy with that, but I may have worn myself out.

I went for a coffee with a few of the folk to cool down a bit before heading home. I was able to jog most of that way too.

Since then we have been food shopping and I went up the road to see a friend. I may have another swim lately, but I feel all bunged up. That will partly be hayfever, but I did take a tablet for that. I think it will be an early night and I will see if I am up to running tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend and run free!
