Can I kick's it?!

Didn’t challenge myself so much this week. The weather was cold and my motivation was poor. No running until the weekend, deciding instead to pig out on a curry from Golden Spice (not bad) and a chip shop dinner. Little cycling but managed a few spins on Zwift.

Saturday saw me try out my new kicks - another pair of Brooks Ghost 14 shoes. These were the same shoes as my last pair but in blue instead of orange. The Ghost series is up to model 16 now but I didn’t want to spend over £100 on a pair of shoes. 

Tested my new shoes on the Tamworth Castle Grounds ParkRun. This ParkRun was an all tarmac/concrete  run and located next to Tamworth Castle as the name suggests. This was my 80th ParkRun and my first at this location. I finished 66/276 with a time of 25:24, just 3 seconds off my fastest time last year.

Would have liked to have joined my buddy Phantom on his first solo wild camp. Guess it was a good job I didn’t. If I had joined it would not have been his first solo camp and he would not have got his ‘solo’ badge. Great job Phantom!

Next week will be exciting on the adventure front. Am going to head up North, all the way to Edinburgh. I'm going to challenge myself to finding and eating some haggis!
