alright York Parkrun #54 5 km 00:22 07:06 pace
Only the second one I've run this year because of avoiding speedy stuff with injury. Thought I'd risk it as, with only 2 weeks to Boston, wanted to get the feel of running with others. ... read more

Lovely pace, John. Looks like you are recovering well. You must have seriously picked up the pace to finish with a 4:25 pace.

I guess you are doing the York marathon ... no, that can't be right as it isn't until October. So, which marathon are you doing then? 5:27, that's a tidy pace ... and you are right, you sure will be able to do the distance. Remind me, what's your goal for the next one (the little blurb on the side of DM says 3:30:00 in 2014).

Thanks Pete. Forgot to update my goal: sub 3:30 this year (as it was last year and probably will be next year). Travelling across the big pond to run Boston (3 weeks today).

My goal remains sub 3:30. Realistically my preparation has been too disrupted, so I guess I would be happy 3:40 (BQ time for my age). Main aim is to enjoy the occasion, so as long as I avoid DNS or DNF I will be satisfied.

Great running John. Such a travesty, when they can answer the who, hopefully they will be able to answer the why! Stay safe!
