Tempos return

Yesterday we decided to stay in bed rather than drive to a parkrun event. The 12 hour flight home had caught up with us, can't say it was a bad decision! Once we'd staggered out of bed I hopped into my runners and set out on my usual Stansted loop. According to my plan, this was to include three tempo five mins, two mins rest between each, book ended by ten easy.
Forcing myself into some tempo running definitely helped shake the cobwebs, also made me acknowledge a parkrun wouldn't have been a good idea.
With the miles banked I contacted race control for the Edmonton 10k to see if they had places left as I'd promised our friend Fergie that I'd attempt to pace him.
