Ah, thats a shame that your event was cancelled on the same weekend when everyone was celebrating the 20 years anniversary... I was surprised you didn't try to find a different event.
I saw a few people heading to Letchworth for the Standalone 10k event. I opted not to do it this year as I am just not feeling that great about my running and need to work on it more.
I think I remember that you did this event last year, are you still struggling with injury or is it a lack of confidence? Its still nice to take part in events even if the time might not be good as previous years.
As a runner who spends 99.9% of his runs on his own, I've decided I need to find some events to enter, just to feel like I'm part of a group, part of a shared experience. Its completely different when you've got crowds and other runners
I've got this lingering hip tendon issue that is holding me back and then I just had a cold. I'll keep doing parkrun anyway, but just did other stuff yesterday.
