Another parkrun PB

Another parkrun PB - 17:29

Another Saturday morning and another PB, another 2 seconds off. Honestly I was a little bit disappointed with this one. I felt that the conditions were a big improvement on recent weeks so was hoping for low 17:2x, perhaps I was being a little too optimistic. I mean looking at the results there were not many PBs, certainly up the front there were only 3 in the top 20. Again I got out kicked but myself and the other guy worked really well together.

So now I have run under 17:30 and am 2 seconds away from entering the top 100 of all time.

The latter because parkrun stopwatch bingo says I only haven't finished in a time with 43 on the end! Run a half marathon PB (1:2...
