Black Park - 10th parkrun - TICK

Pace wasn't quite so good today. I had a poor night's sleep, and when you have to head out at 8am for a 9am run, there's no chance to make time up with a lie in.

Also, I've been concentrating on the new cool shiny thing in my life - my bike - this week. The plan is to find time for both in my life, alternating between, but a busy week meant that I only had time for one, and since I only bought it on Monday, the bike had priority.

That meant that the last time I ran was last Sunday, so I was a bit out of form. I hope to find time to do some longer runs again soon, but that may mean joining the local gym as the nights draw in, and learning to use a treadmill.

You see, I've been practicing my runners' excuses. :)

Anyway, run was fine if a little slow, but I made it and am delighted to reach the 10th parkrun milestone. Half way to achieving my goal of 20 different parkruns in my first 20 runs.

Nice cross training week. 10 different is cool in your first 10. You just prompted me to see if my friend ran today as it’s his home parkrun and he’s been struggling with a knee.

Here’s to the next 10... happy running (and cycling)

Haha yes at running excuses! Glad you said it before me 😁

With the nights drawing in, there is a free session of running starting at TVAC (Thames Valley Athletics Club) on Monday 14th Oct 19:00-20:00 every week.
