FP send my congratulations to LO, smashing time that. I bet a lot of adults are just looking on in awe as she sprints past them. You must be bursting with pride :star_struck::partying_face:

Back on the tourist trail today just outside York. Got a 25 this afternoon so plan was to go steady, you can guess how that ended :roll_eyes: didn’t completely batter myself though.

Just about 3 laps on grass around sports pitches, ground was firm but still slow going.

21:20 which was alright considering.

Flower show in our village this afternoon and MrsF had put a few entries into the different categories. Setup is from 8am so she went down there with me on her bike and started preparing stuff - with me helping with any grunt work and tidying up. 8:35…8:40….8:50….8:55!!!

Time was getting tight. The parkrun is about half a mile away and there’s always a good few announcements. We managed to get on our way at 8:59 according to Strava (me on foot, her on bike) and raced to the start.

Got into the park to see a crowd in the distance by the start…. And they bloody started so there was no time to rest - I just had to carefully run through the field.

Managed a 21:49. Happy with that. Bloody knackered though.

I gave it a go this morning too, somehow don’t think I’ve done 10 yet, always love the concept more than actually going.
Humbling to have to drive there when it’s only 3k. Managed 23:06. Next opportunity will be in October, so aim to I’ll be fit enough to run/jog/walk each way.

It’s a nice little course that one but not particularly fast, when I did it there was at least one stretch of over 100m which was ankle deep in water :joy:

I gather the town moor is quite a quick one but has a bottleneck gate quite early, but I haven’t done it.

The course was in no way responsible for my 5 min personal worst :rofl: not in summer conditions anyway, although yes the first 500m were about 5:30 pace in a bottleneck. Think 3 people went under 17 at the front though, including one age 11-14.

Jesmond Dene this morning and even managed to get the GF out of bed as she’s wanted to go for a while.

Nice part of Newcastle but the first half was somewhat undulating :joy: and not helped by my legs still suffering from a massage last night.

Hard effort but not quite flat out and got round in 22:19

With that course it’s probably handy that it backs onto the freeman :joy:

Was a biblical one for me. Thought I was having a bit of a funny turn until I realised it must have been the dyes from the colour run last week (which meant the parkrun was cancelled) I could see on the ground :joy:
