Beating Dennis home!

[PurpleFish59]

Today I decided to run home from parkrun after volunteering. It was a little further than the magic plan said I should run at just over 9K but I decided it was the most efficient way to get my running done before the storm arrived. Enjoyable maybe isn’t a word I would use, it was uphill and head wind a lot of the way, I had a brief stop at 8.5K for a coughing fit but got going again to finish 9.23K and my first run over an hour long. Other than the strong winds I made it home before the worst of the rain so looking forward to spending the rest of the day nice and warm with a hot chocolate as a treat!

Parkrun volunteering and a magic plan run and over an hour of running. Congratulations and well done 🤗🤗

Glad you made it home before the weather. I don’t think running is going to be feasible from now on for 36 hours or so, at least not here.

Wow very well done. Well done on Volunteering 👍 and well done on your long run, that was a great effort especially considering that you were running into a head wind.

Well done PurpleFish59! Running into the wind is really tricky!

Wow, parkrun volunteering and your longest run - you deserve that hot chocolate! So you’ll get your 60min graduate badge now too!

Great effort in the storm, did you run with all that wet weather gear on?

[PurpleFish59 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Absolutely not that all came off after I’d finished standing still! That was another new experience, running with my waterproofs in a backpack

Fantastic work 😁👍

Congratulations on your first parkrun volunteer, running home afterwards and achieving your first 60 minute run. Do ask Ju-Ju for a shiny 1 hour badge. 🏃‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻
