Yes I'm back, back again, Rory's back, tell a friend....etc etc (blatantly ripped off from Eminem, obviously)
I've decided to resurrect the blog from wherever zombie blogs go to die, and hopefully this time round it won't die in late April! So it's probably worth summarising what I've been up to since my last post nearly 10 months ago. Briefly I've
- spent several months recovering from the massively damaged Glute that was the aftermath of the marathon
- ran my first trail half marathon in September in Farnham, (hilly, tough, 2:26 or so)
- ran another half marathon a few weeks later at Wimbledon Common (not as hilly, not as tough, 2:06 or so...not bad with bugger all training)
- became a parkrun Ambassador which made me immensely proud (more of which in a later post)
- did some parkrun tourism adding new events to my total (more of which in another post) and did my first NYD parkrun double
- entered Manchester marathon in April - my spring target event
- ran my 100th parkrun at Bedfont Lakes in January

ReplyDeleteAlso - my last parkrun PB was dec 13, and my half marathon PB had stood for 2 years! So you never know when they might go :-)
But would happily try and pace you round to one over the next few weeks, you're not that far off
