Special

So what is special about me Blipping my Parkrun on a Saturday?

Correct... nothing. 

It is the Parkrun which was special. It was my last Parkrun in my old running shoes, and they are really, really old. I did not use them for anything except cycling for about 10 years. 

I damaged my Achilles tendon back then and had given up running. Or so I thought. Back then. 

This Parkrun was also special because it is the first time I have jogged to the park rather than drive or cycle. I had put in 2.6k before Parkrun even began. The uphill 2.6k afterwards was a little demanding, but I got home in the end. 

Needless to say my legs have been useless for the rest of the day. The weather was very Scottish after lunch, so I did not miss out by taking it easy and just doing a bit of admin at home. 

It was a good excuse to research a few recipes and the NY Times one for Peruvian fried rice had me drooling. 

But no MSG. Never, ever.
