Well done Gra, that's a fantastic achievement !
How come you did it in Dewsbury ? xxx
Thanks poppy
Yes I was in Batley helping my daughter to move yesterday and stayed overnight so we decided to go to Dewsbury for the parkrun
It's a lovely spot but hillier then I'm used to but I thoroughly enjoyed it!
They are a real friendly bunch at Dewsbury and my daughter is going to join the local running club!!
How are you?
Are you ready for Abbey Dash?

Ah I see, I used to live not far from Dewsbury many years ago , yes lots and lots of hills around there .

Wow, congratulations , that's a lot of running!
Superb! How long a period is that over? I'm well impressed!
That's brilliant! Big congratulations to you. Are you contacting parkrun to tell them as that should be in their newsletter?
Well done gra! You've got to love a good hill!congratulations! ππ
Brilliant well done, sounds fun π
Fantastic Gra! 250! What does it go to next? π
Cheers dave!
Think the next milestone is 500!!
Gra
Gra, a nice green T the 250 milestone, I wonder what the colour of the 500 is? can't see that one on Wiggle...
Dave
Yes I think an orange one would be nicer!!
I like the Tribesport apricot Parkrun T that's out, it can be customised with the name of your local PR and has a union flag on the sleeve, cool.. will probably go for one for next spring..π
Well done - congratulations! I'm looking forward to doing more park runs once this bloody HM is out of the way. I am soo nervous, I think about it every hour. Just want it to go away now so that I can do the pleasurable stuff!
Jjju
I know wot you mean
Half marathons are a big commitment and Sumter the training takes over your life
That's what I like about parkrun it's relatively easy to do with minimum training and you can fit your running round your life not the other way round!!
Graππ
jo, you'll be fine on the HM, you know not to go mad going like a bat out of hell, think you've learnt your lesson? a happy medium needs to be struck, as you dont want to go too slowly either, so pick strategic points to pick up some pace which you feel comfy with. I found the 10k distance good to do occasionally, not too much..
good luck!
250 is amazing π
