I've run the Pennington Parkrun 44 times now and have been sub 30 a grand total of 7 times, although 3 of those have been in the last 4 weeks. The problem with getting sub-30 is that i have to try and trying isnt pleasant. If i take it at a comfortable pace i average about 31 minutes, which i think would be just sub-30 just about anywhere other than Pennington. Ellie has her eyes set on the t-shirt you get for doing 50 runs so that is our target. After that you get a waterproof jacket for doing 100 | ||

I refuse to be party to the club having a disgusting toilet, i think it is a mild form of OCD on my part I paid the price for sweeping out the main room, copious amounts of black snot was ejected from my nostrils last night. I have an inclination to give the shower room a once over as some point and make that less uninviting. | ||

Much more comfortable overhead and as a result not as much pressure or pain in the dodgy hand. Almost enjoyable!!!! Snatch Pull 80 x3 100 x3,x3,x3,x3,x3 Squat 60 x5 100 x3 120 x2 130 x2,x2,x2 110 x5 Bench 5x5, 1x10 Pec Dec 5x12 Db curl 4x10 1x sweep out the gay room Best little session I've had for a while. No big weights but a bit of graft and snatches weren't the end of the world they usually are. Plenty of more shoulder stretching is on the cards | ||

Hmmm. I am becoming more and more a believer in stretching as time goes on. My knees benefit from stretching more than any physio they ever had and this recent stint of work on the shoulders seems to be paying off too. It's very painful to start with but worth it. | ||

Ell hadn't been well in the week and didn't feel up to Parkrun so we gave it a miss. So dropped Holly of at gymnastics at 8:45 on Sunday morning and sneaked a quick (or not) 5k in. | ||

I think it is important as we get older to broaden out actvities, and become less one dimensional. A couple of years back i would never have dreamt about running in any way shape or form, but now i do i almost enjoy it and can definitely see the benefits. | ||

A couple of years back i would never have dreamt about running in any way shape or form, but now i do i almost enjoy it and can definitely see the benefits. I agree completely. I usually run 3 or 4 times a week nowadays. In the past I would have never considered running, but now really enjoy going out on the local trails. | ||
