Lovely weekend.
Parkrun PB on Sat, then a nice 11.5 mile cross country run today. Didn't feel like it this morning, nor did I when I set off... but it got easier towards the end.

I went out for the first time in 2 weeks and had a really good run. Did 4 miles in 47:44, (give or take a few seconds, I don't have my Garmin with me), 2 miles non-stop, a negative split on my second mile, my fastest 5K of the year and just generally felt good.
13 days to 10K, so that's good. Signed up for another one in March in Shrewsbury with a friend and have decided on my training plan for my half marathon in April

Good effort @mrsp1987. Its always nice to have a good run before a 10k.
I've got a 6 mile cross country race on the same weekend as your 10k by the looks of it.
Although I do have a 10k road race to do on Boxing day.

Is anyone else racing over the Christmas period?

I was going to enter my first 10K on 18th Dec but I am still limping since whatever I did to my heel last Thursday night. So annoying. Just trying to take it gently - but dogs still need to be walked.
No running till it feels better

I e got another 10K on the 27th December and I really want to do parkrun on Christmas Eve

Good luck with the 10k's.

I've got a santa run to do on the 14th Dec so I will reuse my santa outfit for a christmas eve parkrun

I was going to do a christmas day parkrun as I did last year but with running the 10k on Boxing day think it will be a bit much, especially as I am aiming for a 10k PB on Boxing day.

still limping
there is a ParkRun here on Xmas eve, Xmas day, New Years eve and New Years day. Will try and make one of them at least but have a houseful of guests for both events

Have you had someone take a look? Hope it gets better soon.

We have the same as there are a few parkruns around here. I'm going to see how I am after the boxing day 10k, not sure that I will be able to race nye and nyd. Think that I may volunteer for one of them at least though.

I have a doc appointment later this morning as it has been going on a bit long now

doc thinks it might be calcaneous stress fracture so have now been to X ray, which was surprisingly quick. It will take 5 days for the results so for now it is just RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation)
