A sporting weekend
Two sporting events dominated this weekend. Firstly a round of golf (I think my first game since Christmas) on Saturday, followed by the Nike 10k run in Hyde Park on Sunday.
The golf surprisingly ended in victory, (No, I wasn't playing alone!) and I came reasonably close to scoring a hole in one on the 17th, and not too far off achieving an eagle two at the last. (Not to mention the pigeon I nearly got on the 7th!)
The Nike run on Sunday included a momentous moment for me when, for the first time in a competitive race, I actually managed to overtake Paula Radcliffe!
OK, so she is 6 months pregnant; was stood still when I overtook her, mainly because she wasn't actually taking part in my race...she was just starting it, but...strictly speaking the above account is technically accurate.

(Paula did take part in the next race, where she went round in a "very gentle jog" due to her condition....and beat me by about 8 minutes!)
As for my time...I'm not actually sure, somewhere around 53 minutes I hope, which would be a personal best.
