It's my birthday on Saturday, and I had a notion of doing the Dent Brewery Dentdale Run as my first-ever race as a FV45. Being an unconventional distance, at least it would guarantee me a celebratory PB, and after spending Christmas near Sedbergh we promised ourselves that we'd get to know that corner of the country a little better.
But we decided that the travel would be impractical, and opted for the Bramhall Park Run on Saturday morning instead. Only half as far to travel, and Leon could chase a PB while I ambled round with my two youngest daughters. Sorted.
Then this afternoon, a call went out on Fetch for a 7-minute-mile pacer for a little race called the ... let me get this right ... Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon. A race which, I have to confess, we would never have considered entering of our own accord. But we're helpful souls, and a half-marathon at 7mm pace will give Leon a good workout while being well within his capacity, so I suggested that he should offer his services and ask if I could have a place in the (already full) race too.
So at midday on Sunday, Leon will be setting off to exercise his metronomic pacing skills at 7mm pace ... and I shall be cutting my pacing teeth on the 9mm group.
No PBs for us this weekend, then. But we're looking forward to developing a new skill :o)
