I’m heading off shortly to PR. Nothing new there, I’m a PR junkie and do one pretty much every weekend. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
But I found out about an inaugural one near me - Clevedon Salthouse Fields - and seeing as how my regular one in Bristol is hosting a festival this weekend, it’s a no brainer, I need to give it a go!
So why am I so nervous?!! Bonkers! 😅 I’m not going to say wish me luck because that would be plain ridiculous! 🙄😅🤦♀️
Happy parkrunning/running this weekend guys! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️

Yes definitely Floss. It’s not often we’re given the chance to run an inaugural PR, so there was no way I was going to miss it. It was brilliant too! 😀
Haha, no it’s ok Jell, my legs only fancied 5k this morning! It was surprisingly warm by PR time, but I was pleased with my time and really enjoyed it! 😀😀
Great!! No I haven’t been to PR for some time now. I did go out and do a 5k recently, but I’m not running as regularly as I would like to be. It’s been a bit of a weird year so far and I just haven’t got my flow back on. I’m not giving up though. 😉❤️
Worse than that Uncle. I’m toying with doing Severn Bridge again - so I have 3 (even 4 if the weather is cool enough for hilly Ashton Court!). The weather will decide where I go for sure.
Sounds exciting being at the very first. you will probably see some familiar faces from your regular one. And knowing how time flies in a flash a year will have passed and you will be running in fancy dress at its first birthday have fun today😀👍
Yes Runsome I did see some familar faces. 👍😀 It was fantastic - although no 🐕 allowed, but that’s ok, my son and his girlfriend are walking her today. 😀
As for its first birthday next year, no wayyy will I wear the onesie I wore at our PR’s b’day. I almost expired!! 🥵
Thanks Damien, I did! 😀😀 A beautiful sunny morning (bit warm, but hey) and everyone was in a good mood! I remember you did an inaugural one too. Can’t miss out on those opportunities can you? 😀👍🏃♀️🏃♂️
The silly thing is I’ve done quite a few tourist PRs now. I think today was my 8th. Not many compared to some I know! I think I was nervous because it was its inaugural one. Why that should make a difference I have no clue! 🤷♀️
Hi Cheeky, I hope you enjoyed your parkrun today, I certainly did, I got a PB time of 30.55, the highest age grading I have had at a parkrun of 59.35% and first in my age group, I may have been the only person in my age group 😂I was 176th out of 264 runners, all in all a good 🏃 run 👍
O I am so sorry about that Dexy 😔the parkrun I was at does have plenty of water around it, it is a Loch (lake) called Lochend Loch in a country park called Drumpelliier, to the east of Glasgow near the M73 motorway, a really nice place, a bit different from my "home." parkrun at Dunfermline which is 100% a park.
It was rather special Dexy! I overheard someone mention “new parkrun” and of course my 👂 pricked up (looks more like a foot on my phone - but you know what I mean! 😅) An opportunity not to be missed. Bit warm though ..... 🥵
Unfortunately I missed the inaugural Market Rasen parkrun last year and only managed to get to the second one, which was a shame. Looks like you had a much bigger turnout though and a far more picturesque run than 3 times round the racecourse!
Yes I’d planned on going back to the Severn Bridge with Eastville being off this week, but the lure of an inaugural PR was too strong Sandie! So glad I went - over 300 there too! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️
Next weekend depends on the weather. Too windy and Severn Bridge won’t be fun but I really want to go back. I loved it! 😀👍
Hey cheeky chipmunk, I’ve only done my local parkrun the last 15 weeks but I am due to try one in November, another local one... I think I’ll be the same as you. I’m nervous about a new parkrun throwing me off, slowing me down, people pushing me about... I’m only small 😢
