So it was a weekend of PB’s for Holly and Brandon with their
park runs. Joshua had a sore heel and couldn’t run hard so rather than not run
at all he opted to be a pace maker for Holly. Well this worked out really well
as our little Princess stormed home in a new PB time of 12:21 (and that’s even
with stopping to take off her body warmer).
Brandon has consistently been in or around his previous PB
time of 8:39 but this week he had a Year 6 boy that he knew and decided to use
him as a pace maker. So he set himself a target of top 10 and to beat 8:39.
Well out of 166 runners he didn’t quite make top 10 as he finished in 12th
place (but 4th in his age group), but boy did he
smash his time with an astonishing 8:12!!!! That means his average mile pace
was 6:24/mile which for a 10 year old is pretty incredible.
I always set myself a long term fitness objective to be
better at running and cycling than the boys until I turn 50, well Brandon might
have just put paid to that as I think given my current physical shape, I would
struggle to keep up with him over the 2k!!!
