Cardiff park run 18/08/2012

Its been a pretty easy week on the running side of things following the marathon last week. I managed to get back in the gym on tuesday and ran 2 miles on the treadmill, but skipped the run on thursday preferring to rest my legs a little more.

Chatting with a friend last night they said they were planning on running the park run today, which in a slightly tipsy state I agreed to do as well!

The park run course is fast and flat taking place in Bute Park every Saturday morning and is organised by a local running club.

I managed to finish the race in a pleasing 19minutes 42 seconds, placing 29th over all, and also managed to get talking to a few people from a local running club which I am going to head along to on thursday.

He is the run report: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/211848219

One of the slightly worrying things about the run this morning is that i ran a reasonably quick time, and 28 people were still in front of me!!

Still, it was my first time out after the marathon, so hopefully will be able to make some improvements there over the coming months.
