4th January - Saturday with Eoin - 13km
New Years Day parkrun double - 10k of aching legs
The year started with two parkruns, which would have been lovely, had I not been so tired from the combination of a gruelling (read: hilly) 10 miles the day before and WAY TOO MUCH chocolate on NYE.
Haverfordwest felt really tough, Milford Waterfront was more enjoyable ... both were quite slow for me - but it felt really good to get 10k under my belt before breakfast (you should really eat before running you know ...)
Friday Night with Alex
Alex (my brother) came with me for a 4 mile loop around Wokingham - thankfully at my pace, rather than his as I would have had to be cycling to keep up. It was meant to be 5km but ended up being a bit more due to a desire to keep the mileage on strava to a round number. It's all KMs in the bag, after all.
It was a great run, decent pace and Alex showed me a new 5km route from my house, which will be useful.
Saturday - Long Run Day - with Eoin
This is where it all went a bit wrong. My watch only had 20% battery. I'd picked up the wrong trainers for the conditions underfoot. I was incredibly thirsty for a stretch of the run where the only water available was in puddles ... my throat was so dry I couldn't breathe. I tried listening to music for some distraction, it was just annoying. I nearly tripped over a dog.
We had planned 10 miles from Runnymede, along the thames path, to Dorney, around the lake and into the cafe. I thought I had put my ons trainers in the car, I have some hybrid ones, which work perfectly for muddy path and road running. As it turns out I only had my nike road running trainers, which are just horrendous in mud. I was angry with myself for not having the right shoes and not charging my watch. I got over the watch thing but am still cross about the shoes.
My legs were still a little achey from Tuesday's epic ten miles. The whole 8 miles hurt and I couldn't shift the thought that there is no way I can run a marathon in a couple of months time. No way. Essentially, I lost all sense of perspective.
Let's see what next week brings, with my first race of the year - a nice 10k in Bushy Park on Sunday.
I liked the way this article explains important information without using complicated language. The content feels organized, and the explanations are easy to remember. It provides a helpful reading experience for people who want clear information about the subject.

I found this article helpful because it answers several basic questions that usually come up when exploring a new gaming platform. The maan win game explanations are detailed enough to be useful but still simple enough for beginners. I particularly enjoyed the sections discussing setup and general gameplay because they provide a clearer picture of the overall experience. The article also has a nice balance between information and practical advice. It is a good read for anyone wanting to learn the basics first.
This running recap feels refreshingly honest because it includes both the enjoyable moments and the challenges that came with the first week. The details about different routes, tired legs, unsuitable shoes, and learning from mistakes make the experience relatable. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog https://capitaladjustingservices.com/, which offered an interesting perspective as well.
The article gives a clear explanation without using too much complicated terminology. That made it comfortable to read and understand. I liked the practical approach and found the information useful, especially for someone who wants to learn the basics properly.

Great to see an early-week update documenting the beginning of the FDRUN2020 experience and the activities surrounding it. First-week reflections can capture the excitement, challenges, and motivation that often shape a longer journey. The https://torontojewelscuration.com/ value of recording those details brought to mind. A pleasant read for anyone interested in following personal progress from the beginning.
