Matt Gets Running

The Bris­tol 10K is approach­ing. It’s on road signs now, so it must be official!

My plan to do a few runs in this pen­ul­tim­ate train­ing week is going well; I got out for another 5K this even­ing. I also man­aged to get to the other side of the river before the high tide and the bridge swing sep­ar­ated the north from the south, so it was out along the towpath and away from the traffic. Much more civilised.

Also, at the sug­ges­tion of a couple of friends on Twit­ter, I checked out Blacks for tech­nical tops in large sizes, and at least found a couple claim­ing to be XXL rather than XL, with one that even looked as if it might not be in the des­per­ately unflat­ter­ing figure-hugging style they mostly seem to come in. Hope­fully they’ll arrive in time for me to try them on, and try run­ning in them before the 10K.

So, I’ll prob­ably do one or two runs before the race, maybe get­ting out on Sat­urday and Monday, see­ing as it’s a Bank Hol­i­day. I’ll def­in­itely check back in here before the race, whatever hap­pens… See you then!
