Summer Series
The first of eight Tuesday night "Summer Series" runs was held last night in relatively cooler conditions, thank goodness. My 5k time of 20.15 was OK given the course was slightly longer than before and I had been hobbling all day. But my "consistent" time means my M60 rivals can rest easy: I won't be any threat to them this year. I am a bit disappointed; I was hoping to improve.
Or can I improve if I rest up?
WE SHALL SEE.

Now this is REALLY funny. On request I have removed a photo of Ruth, Neil, Cathy, Maria and Ken laughing at a photo, and replaced it with this photo of Kelley, me and Helen. Any problem? Two out of three in the photo look pretty good to me. Smile!
