Updates

so ... yesterday I did a 10 mile race. It was great fun ... and despite my achilles acting up lately I did okay. I picked up an achilles compression band to wear during the race and did an R2/W2 strategy and came across in 1:51:03 not too bad really! I know I could have been a good 5-10 mins faster if I was feeling good.

DS and DH also ran yesterday in the 5K ... DS did a 30:43 and DH a 34:18.

Also, I'm reading a GREAT new book ... PD James Children of Men. I'm really enjoying it. Yes it's the book that the recent movie was based on. I didn't see the movie but considering what I've heard of the plot the book is very different.

Check out the opening sentence ... Grabs you right away! "Early this morning, 1 january 2021, three minutes after midnight, the last human being to be born on earth was killed in a pub brawl in a suburb of Buenos Aires, aged twenty-five years, two months and twelve days"

Reallly good ... I've alreay got another PD James to read after this one!

Cheers
