Another Sub-20 Park Loop Hat-trick

It was yet another hot and humid sunny day.

The roadworks on Stretton road had moved to just before the bus stop west of the school to just before the school entrance itself. A bit messy, but at least this allowed me to run the Park Loop.

I set off at a very good pace, determined to try and run another sub-20, completing my first mile in 6:49. I must admit it became harder due to the heat to keep going but mind over matter kept me going. In fact, I began to push harder from the exit of the Pewterspear Garden Path, completing the Park Loop in 19:39.
