I was unimpressed with my time for today’s Army run.  Lots of walkers — even within the first 100 metres.  I never knew there were so my long upward inclines in Hull.  There were much more up-hills than down hills.  And then the jam up in the last 25 meters before the finish line.  I was grumbling about my time and not being impressed with the finish time but my laps, 2, 3, and 4 were good and then to see my category place took some of the disappointment about the finish time away.

I had been training off and on since March, first for the Tamarack run in May and then on a more or less steady basis for this one.  Now that the race season, for me, is over.  It will be just doing a run 2 or 3 times a week until early next year when I will start training again for the Tamarack 5K in May.  I got a notice yesterday that if you did that run this year there is an early sign up starting tomorrow (Monday 23 Sept).  I may as well sign up early and save a bit of money.  Unless something unforeseen happens between now ant then I plan on running it.  Hopefully with a little better time and placing.  Although I don’t count placing 3rd in that run as being disrespectful.
It was a good day for running at 8am it was  mostly cloudy, the temperature was a comfortable 77c wind was south at only 11 kms.
I should be getting some 'official' photos via email later in the week and will post them in a separate blog.


Later in the afternoon I took a couple of rose cuttings to see if they will sprout.  If they do I have a plan for them.

Took the Christmas light down from around the front window because it is going to be replaced with a new one tomorrow.

Don and family will be over for a roast lamb Sunday dinner.
Now to do a bit for the Microgreens Experiment.
