Description from Strava:
It was a lovely morning. Yesterday was nice too and I had a swim after work. As I set off I could see my race walker friend up ahead. I caught up for a chat. She is doing a 100 mile race next weekend and so was just doing 10 miles today, including parkrun. She is quicker than some runners.

Strava has been telling me I could do it in 26 minutes, but I am not convinced. I set my pacer app with a target of 26:30. I tried to stick to that, but is was hard. The third and fourth kilometres were a bit slow, but I picked up some pace at the end to finish in just under 27. That is my second best of the year. I can be happy with that as it is slightly better than I did last year.

A group of us went for coffee at the camp site shop afterwards. parkrun is also a social event. I walked home with a friend who is knows lots of people in the village so I get all the gossip.

A huge branch has come off the willow at the pub. Someone has a big job to clear that up.

Have a great weekend and run free.
