Trail race (Fittleworth 5 Junior Race) 6:35 [5] 1.5 km (4:23 / km)
Reluctantly gave Chi parkrun and F5 a miss because hip needs rest. Anyway, had been asked to lead junior race at Fittleworth. So jogged round course one more time then made sure I gave myself a good 50 metre-plus head start for the junior race as a couple of the youngsters looked tasty. Managed to stay ahead - just - though checking behind to see they could actually see me slowed me down quite a lot. Was limping and quite sore after, so I'm glad I did no more, though I was tempted to enter the main race.
Road run (Summersdale and South St) 31:26 [5] 8.0 km (3:56 / km) weight:71kg
Weight is off, and I tried to run strong, but back of left hip was sore and tight from halfway. It must be the driving. Time was OK, I suppose, but I had to work really hard for it. And there was no pleasure in the effort, that's the worst.
