Sunday run preparation- 8K

Hi all, I did 3 and a bit circuits of Lloyd Parkrun last night ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธtowards preparation for Switchback 5 cross country run on Sunday ๐Ÿ˜€ Itโ€™s 5 miles/8K so I should be ok. Iโ€™m aiming to do another short 3K run midweek then take it easy, except for marshalling at Lloyd Parkrun on Saturday ๐Ÿ™‚

If the technology works, Iโ€™ve attached a photo of the start of the steep hill at Lloyd Park. Apparently itโ€™s the hardest Parkrun in London, but I donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s true ๐Ÿ˜Š

Happy running everyone! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

You are getting lots of practice in that park David so the run on Sunday should be no problem. Have fun and let us see some bling.

Have a good time marshalling at parkrun too. Ours was asking for people to volunteer once for every 15 Parkruns on Saturday.

Thanks Dexy, Iโ€™ll post once Iโ€™ve finished to let you know how it went. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธEvery finisher gets a memento so Iโ€™m counting that as bling, whatever the memento is! ๐Ÿ˜Š Thereโ€™s tea and cakes ๐Ÿฐ afterwards to look forward to ๐Ÿ˜‹

As for volunteering, I think once every 12 weeks isnโ€™t too much to ask so thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m aiming for. If Iโ€™m doing an event on a Sunday then Iโ€™ll volunteer on the Saturday, otherwise Iโ€™ll just be doing nothing anyway. ๐Ÿ˜€
