Notes
Franc and I ran the Crichton Park Run / 1st Run for 2022 and the 1st ever Crichton PR for me. I ran tactically and carefully as I did not want to be dragged by faster runners. I positioned myself at the end of the pack and aimed for an aerobic/strong pace for 5k. Surprisingly and with not much effort I and Franc were the first in our division.
Crichton course is not an easy one as it is pretty hilly with a variation of grounds. On the day it was very windy but mild. This was a New Year's Run and I felt good and did run fast for the last half mile. It was fun despite my lungs suffering as I have not trained for this for a min of 3 good years. Such a great feeling to be able to put a spring in the end once Franc also prompted me by cheering like the Great Old Days. A Runner always remains a Runner in Body, Mind & Soul. All three are able to remember and recall and this is what I felt today. I ran with experience and a love for running.
Franc did good at a slow to medium effort due to his injury. No problems thereafter which is promising.
GREAT START FOR 2022!
