The Mole is dead. Long live the Mole.

The mole has been packed away and consigned to the storeroom at Victa’s HQ until some over lunatic thinks that running a marathon in a costume is a good idea.
For me it was a good idea as I wanted to run a slower marathon taking time to enjoy the day and play up to the crowd and the mole suit helped me to do just that.
Will I run in costume again? I’d like to say that I’ve ticked that box. (Which I have) I can never say never.
I haven’t run since vlm as I wanted this foot injury to heal properly
I’m doing the bupa London 10k in a little over two weeks.
I will be running it in a vest and shorts aiming to beat a PB of 52:42. Set last year.
A new PB would be great but I’m hoping for a time beginning with a 4 which would mean running faster than 8min miles. I’m sure I will as Hollywood Dave would say “smash it”.
I’m going to go for a run on Sunday, probably a 3 mile at my desired 10k pace.
