Didn't feel like going this morning. This is happening more and more. But two things, 1) I didn't go last wee, have not run all week, 2) if I'd let the alarm go off and not got up for the second week in a row wife would have killed me. So up I got.
I knew the course was changing because of the work being down to fix The Leas, but I didn't realise how far the start would move. So when I parked as near to the normal start as I could and walked there, I then had to run about another kilometre up to the hotels (The Grand and The Metropole) where the start was. Just made it in time, started at the back, and struggled a bit. It was cold and windy running up The Leas, to the West. Towards the end my left knee started twingeing so I had to keep slowing down and stopping. Hence the poor time this week. Still another one done.

I like the new starting position, it will be easier to park up towards that end, but I suppose they'll only keep it while the work is ongoing.
I should be thinking more about the war that is going on rather than Parkrun moving slightly. USA have attacked Iran and in retalliation Iran have attacked US bases in Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait and others. This is not the end of this is it.
