Cheers. Nah, no pacers. Only 185 or so runners aswell. It was a tough one today mind. No booze last night and an early wake up but still didn't feel great halfway round.
Will parkrun be the 1st...

20:44 at Hartlepool park run today, 1st time down there. My running has been poor the last 6 weeks or so, my trainers really need replacing and the heat has been draining. Will be be back down in a few months when it's colder and I've got some new runners, should get it below 20 mins then.

Quality that mate! I got under 22 minutes for the first time at Chester le Street also - had to go for it when I realised it is flat and a good one for a PB.
Look at me, I can do a parkrun the morning after a bender. Pathetic.

Look at me, I can afford to drink alcohol and have the ability to run. Pathetic.
Dragged a 1st timer round herra this morning, bugger beat me in a sprint finish at the end.

Had 20 days off following some races in September. Did a couple of shake out 4km’s then did CLS park run Saturday. 25:42 and a sub 25 minute 5k for the first time ever. It only a year or so ago I couldn’t get under 30 minutes so I’m chuffed to bits.

Just started doing Parkrun and running in general again after about a year off. Don’t mind admitting it was bloody painful for the first month back. Nice to be back into it again though. Not that it means anything to anyone but my local is the Lake Joondalup Parkrun. I’ll be posting an under 25 mins this week I reckon. Came first in my age group last week as well so not complaining about that. Last time that happened was about three years ago and that was in the previous age group.
As an update, maybe I won’t be posting a sub 25 minute Parkrun this weekend. Came off my bike doing around 35kmh this morning trying to avoid a car pulling out from an intersection and going into the back of my mates bike. He managed to stay on, I didn’t.
Got a few bruises and grazes all down my right side and I’m stiffening up a bit. On the plus side, an inspection of the bike shows that it’s still rideable apart from the bar tape being a bit buggered. I’ll get it to the bike looked at properly on Friday.
The answer to the question you’re all asking though is yes. I did pause my Garmin.

How many different park runs has everyone done? You see a lot of milestone tshirts for total number of park runs but any park run tourists about? What is your favourite park run so far?
No herra country park run next week cos of the cycle cross taking place in the park next sat and sun.
Is Riverside at Chester a nice and flat route?

Yeah, fairly flat. Just 3 laps round the park. It's alright for a change like.
Did my first Parkrun since the start of lockdown yesterday. 46.10 so not earth shattering pace but I wasn’t last. I basically did week 3 day 2 of my C25K plan twice. My hip is knacking now like but I did it. Same again next week of my hip is better.

Flattest one I have done so far! Perfect route for a PB
