New Parkrun route!

Hello!

I’ve not posted for a while! I’m still going out a couple of times a week and actually enjoy the cooler conditions.

I’m really excited about getting new Parkrun in Dunbar although I won’t actually get to do it that often as I work Saturdays but it’s great having one on our doorstep!!

Found out they were doing a test run this morning just to see how it was with a number of people! It’s a lovely route mainly in woods, 2 laps in a sort of figure of 8 and round playing fields!

I walked down through the woods as my warm up walk and had pleasure of seeing 2 very young deer hop across path! A good omen I thought! I was feeling a bit tired and nervous! I’d no idea how many people to expect! It was actually a very small gathering probably less than 40 with lots of very “elite” looking runners but I couldn’t believe it when I got chatting to another lady and she said I looked like I ran regularly!!!! What ever that look is!! Knackered maybe ha ha!!

Anyway I was really impressed with how organised it was and so many friendly people! I’m very much a lone runner but it is nice occasionally running along side others. Two young lads were at front of pack and they were super fast!! Can’t wait to do it again in new year when I get a day off!!! 😀🏃‍♀️

Hi Sarakc, Sounds like you had a lovely time! Was that a new PB for you? Whether or not it was seems like a great time to me. You look to be glowing with health and happiness in your lovely photo! 😊

Aww thank you! No, it wasn’t a PB. My Garmin says I’ve done 5K in 27.51 and it’s different again on Strava! That’s about my limit I think!!! 😂

PBs are not everything. being fit and healthy and being part of a new Parkrun sounds great to me! 😊

I agree! I know I’m so much fitter and healthy since I started running! I like looking at my stats and seeing how I’ve improved but I’m not overdoing it!! 🙂

I’m signed up to do the RED January and have t shirt which I’ve been wearing!! I’d love to run every other day at least! Just short runs! With working and on feet all day I doubt I could do every day but I’m going to go for brisk walks and swim as usual once a week! It gives you a wee boost! It’s great !! 😀

That’s nice Sarakc, ours is doing a parkrun on Christmas Day and New Years Day too so you might get a chance to join in. You definitely look like a runner , very trim.

Aww thank you!! Don’t think the parkrun will be officially starting until mid January but it’s so great to have it! I need to stop working Saturdays!!!!! 😀
