This week has been super busy with another 10k completed (2 runs), a little birthday break, a cocktail party and Scarecrows too!
The first run of the week was the Littleborough Lions 5k which was a lovely local race with quite small numbers (45) running but really friendly. It wasn't too bad in that it was only 5k though there was quite a climb through mile 2 so that was a challenge. It has to be said though that it was a lovely view that greeted me as I came down from Hollingworth Lake into Littleborough for the finish. A not great but not awful time of 33:21 and I even won a spot prize of a bottle of wine!
We then had a lovely couple of days away for my birthday chilling out by the pool in the hotel and managing to squeeze in a little shopping too.
Friday night saw Jonathan and I do our first Freedom Parkrun at Huddersfield as we had a busy Saturday planned so I knew I'd struggle to make the Saturday Run. The Freedom runs work on a system that if you have previously run at a Parkrun event then you are able to track your own time round the course and then have it recorded with your other results. We both ran and decided it was great being able to still do the 5k run even though we weren't available Saturday but that without competition we were both a little slower (I ran it in 35:15). That said to end the week with another 10k under my belt and only 15k to go is great.
Saturday was a busy day with stage class and a party for Bella then prep for our once a year cocktail party. We had a fab night with friends and I finally got chance to wear my latest project from sewing class.
Then to wrap up my busy week we went along to the Norland Scarecrow Festival and then had a nice relaxed afternoon and family meal for my birthday.
Next run is the normal Huddersfield Parkrun on Saturday which will take me to 90K! I can hardly believe that I'm nearly done!
