The Son decided to try for a new PB this week and crack the 25 minute barrier for the first time. I told him that I would run at an even split 25 minute pace and he could use my as a pacer if he so wished. Everything was going well until he suffered a coughing fit near the halfway point. I carried on expecting him to catch me up but he did not appear again and I found him waiting for me by the finish funnel.
He was not feeling it today and could not stop coughing so he decided to DNF. A bit of a shame but the erratic near teen beacon in his head seems to switch his moods these days so there was no point in making a big deal out of it.
Of course we still went to the café and enjoyed our usual scrambled eggs on toast.

Excellent pacing on your part! Shame about the DNF, but at least with parkrun there’s always next week.
