Kirkcaldy parkrun. Well that was nice. S came too and we were going up to see Mum. She's just back from a cold, so not running, just walking dog. Knew it had a hill in it, but not too bad. Did a recce as a warm up. It was OK. So, set off in 20th or something, just tootling along, picked it up a bit as I went, reeling people in as usual. Felt reasonable throughout. Always felt better after a thank you to a marshal! Not trying to get places, but used a couple of people to pull me on a bit. Couldn't catch the kid at the end, but overtook the last couple of adults that I could see. Lovely shout from MrsS(rrr) n dog on first lap. Was hoping for a bit under 20. Saw 6:50 pace early on, was trying to get to 6:30, so just used it as a hurry up. The downhill after the uphill was nice! Think that probably helped with ave pace!
Anyhoo, finished 5th, wasn't sure of time, but then checked and saw 19:40. Better than expected. Went for a wee cool down run with dog, then back to car, change shirt cos soaking. Got a shower at Mum's and out for lunch together. Must remember to put dog cage and towel in car any time we are going!
