The hottest day of the year greeted the 1000 plus runners for the annual Marlow 5 Mile yesterday. So it was not a surprise that my time was 2 minutes slower than last year. I tried in mainly in vain to find any decent shade on the side of the road as the sun was beating down. On the plus side, my pace was better than the Milton Keynes 10K in March.
I came in 550th out of 987 finishers which compared to last year 553rd out of 993 was about right. And 7th out of only 11 runners in the 70 plus category. Thanks to Sandi from Park Run for picking up Alison and me and being such good company.
