Parkrun - June

I'm getting lax with the scrapping of my weekly parkruns; it's almost mid-August and I'm sharing June's page today. There were five Saturdays that month, so five runs which I put on a double page.

I found that I'd settled into a pattern of running and walking the same sections each week and my times had plateaued during May and early June. I decided to shake this up and consciously change my thinking from "I just need to get to the next corner and then I can walk" to "I know I can get to the next corner, but how much further can I go?" I pushed myself harder in the last two runs of the month and was rewarded with new PBs each time. 

I split the run photos into three in a row on the left half of the page and two in a column on the right half; there wasn't really much new to write about first three but I wrote quite detailed accounts of the last two runs including that change of thinking.

As always I tried not to cut into any new 12x12 sheets and this page was made from scraps; I had a piece in my scraps box from which I'd only cut a 4" circle and there was enough left for the right page and for the two strips above and below the photos on the left page. The stripy paper on the far left both holds the month name and covers a cut-out from the original circle. I don't embellish many of these pages as I want to keep the pages quite flat and the writing is actually the most important thing. The photos are very same-y and not at all flattering but I'm very glad to have them each week.
