Waiting at the train station

I’m waiting at the train station, there’s not a lot to do

I'm waiting at the train station, I’ll write a blog for you~

Well, I’ll write a blog for me:

Yesterday evening I did a 5K race by myself in an attempt to beat my personal best time.

Original PB: 34:52

New PB: 31:45 (Strava says 31:39 and I don’t know why).

In terms of running, a 3+ minute PB is pretty substantial so I’m proper chuffed. Man, it wasn’t easy though.

I set off way too fast. I blame it on Barbara Streisand. I put ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ on to start off because it’s one of those songs that really gears me up - it geared me up a little too much.

Closing in on the 3rd kilometer I was feeling peaky, to put it nicely. The thing is though, when you are at kilometer 3 you might as well get to kilometer 4. And then when you are at kilometer 4, there is only 1K to go!

In that last K I was shouting aloud “YOU CAN DO THIS, you CAN do this!” I’m glad no one was around because I looked a bit nuts. There were a few cows and horses around, but they are honestly really unjudgemental creatures so it was okay.

IM PROPA CHUFFED ABOUT IT THOUGH.

Anyway if you read this comment a good song for a running playlist.
