Running
Ran the the Nike Run London 10k in Hyde Park. My official time was exactly 42 minutes, knocking a whole two seconds off from the last time I did the Run London two years ago. So I can honestly say, in the words of Furious Styles, I’m not getting older, I’m getting better, at least when it comes to running 10ks. Would have liked to go a bit quicker (having posted a comfortable 41:19 in training a few weeks ago in the Sardinian heat without killing myself), but got stuck at the back in impassable crowds, thanks to waiting for nickyg who I had been led to believe was in the john but who, load already lightened, had apparently skipped up the front to wait for the gun and continue his obsessive stalking of Paula Radcliffe.

Just checked my records and realised that the Sardinian time was actually an unofficial PB. I've run three official 10ks and my best was 41:48. Things have never gone quite right with a race yet. I have the feeling that under 40 is within my capabilities.
