What better preparation for the Bristol half marathon than an early morning trundle round the Ashton Court parkrun course? I didn’t push myself hard as there’s a long way to run tomorrow, just went at what felt comfortable so I was surprised to come home in just under 25 minutes. Hopefully this bodes well for the long run and it was good to get a bit of running in my legs after all of this tapering.

I was 64th out of 207, 10th lady and 4th in my age group. I am now half way to the 50 run t-shirt.
