Intended Endeavours

Today I decide to test my latest calf injury, which is the same as my old calf injury, at Markeaton Parkrun ahead of doing the Newark Half Marathon tomorrow. MD runs with me and keeps my pace in check. Calf wise everything seems if not fine, well ok. Good enough to give it a go tomorrow.

Rather bizarrely, L and Daughter, who also run and cross the line side by side, are given times forty seconds apart.

It’s the first home match of the season in the afternoon which Derby lose convincing to Wolves. So another good season in prospect then. While L heads over to see her folks and then we have an evening in ahead of my intended endeavours tomorrow.

Not Quite On The Money

This morning we both do Markeaton Parkrun and MD isn’t quite on the money but a time of

23:00 isn’t bad but 13 seconds off his PB which I felt could have been lowered today.

After a quick breakfast there, following by dropping L off at Pilates, I head to the match early for an informal meeting with the team who are building Derby County's  new website. They have thankfully decided to ditch the generic site that so many club’s use and to produce their own. I am one of the many who have signed up to help them test it and give feedback.

Today it’s just an introduction to their plans and to warn us they’ll be sending us lots of stuff to look at in the New Year. The new website itself launches in June. There were lots of complimentary coffee and biscuits as well as free tickets available for today’s match for those who wanted them.

The game itself sees Derby continue their improved recent form with a 1-0 win over Norwich. Derby’s ex-Norwich midfielder Bradley Johnson scores the goal.

We stay in tonight, it’s the EMA 10k tomorrow.
