A nice morning for running at Henlow Bridge Lakes. Not too warm, but bridge and dry. The course is all dried out for now, but a bit uneven in places. I still went with my trail shoes. Numbers were down on last week, but still better than some weeks recently.
Once more I tried not to go off too quick and I was actually doing the sort of pace I wanted for a lot of it. I did slow down a bit in the middle, but picked it up for the last lap. I passed a few people, including a guy I have followed in previous weeks. Another guy who looks about my age came past and I tried to stick with him.
On the last stage before the finish straight I passed his, but he came back ahead of me and stayed there. Just as the finish was in sight two others came past us. I still finished 17th of 79, which I have to consider good. I was a little slower than last week, but generally improving.
I was out in London last night for a work social that involved a few drinks. It was at a bar opposite Smithfield Market. I passed a pub around the corner where 
Run free and stay well.
