A great fun (if not very fast) 10K race

15M - double; 10K race & recovery run
10M am incl Richmond Old Deer Park 10K race in 33.02 (5th place; 5.20min/M)
5M pm recovery run at ~6.45min/M

I wasn't at my fastest this morning, but I really enjoyed this race. The organisation was great. And friendly. As were the other runners. It was a mixture of road and tow path and the wind was a bit of a factor, but I'd guess most of the reason I was below my best was just my legs being a bit sub-standard. Fair enough given the hard session on Thursday

But it was a good addition to the week's training - a great tempo workout. I'll up the mileage a bit more next week... and fit in the Dartford Half marathon at the end of it.

I was feeling eager in the afternoon, so added in a recovery run to Dulwich and back for good measure.
