February Dulwich Parkrun #1

5.11 km21:564:09 min/kmStrava

Feeling strong today, so I tried to go as fast as I could. The first lap was speedy for me, but I got out of breath and had to briefly stop after the second. Next week I'm running my first 10k race - the London Winter Run. I'm not sure I could keep this pace up for another 5k, so Tom's challenge of beating 45m will be a stretch. We shall see!

No pain to speak of, and no migraine, thank goodness :-)

I'm still finding it bizarre that we're in February now and it's ten degrees outside. Nice for marathon training, but it worries me for the planet.

I'm running the London Marathon – it would be awesome if you would sponsor me to raise funds for the National Autistic Society.
