Wasn't going to parkrun today as I ran yesterday but then thought when's the next time I'm going to get to to a parkrun on a leap year.

There was lots of mud and puddles even more than last time and I ran through them all.

Home now for shower then out with the dog.

Happy running people 😊😊

Well done Buddy!

Well done Buddy. I tried and failed to complete park run this morning ☹️ The winds were too high on the seafront and I couldn’t breath in the headwind. So I drove home and did 5k instead. Never mind πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Good for you though πŸ‘πŸΌ

Definitely no fail Rhedeg2019. Trying to run along a seafront with all these named storms would make anyone stop. Glad you still did a run though 😊

Very muddy parkrun today, congratulations on that time, I was at Dunfermline parkrun, my time 33.38,

3 minutes slower than you at Drumpelliier, my shoes are not just as muddy as yours, it's not so muddy at Dunfermline, however, there are a lot of puddles which I jump over, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

PS next time that a Saturday falls on a Leap Year is 2048

I really enjoy the mud and puddles . No point in trying to avoid them don't want to jump over and injure myself.

Great you got to Dunfermline parkrun weather wasn't too bad today 😊

PS, I just noticed that Douglas Mason ran his 298th parkrun at Drumpelliier today, now he is the man that videoed ALL the parkruns in Scotland for YouTube, another two runs for him will be No. 300, I just wonder which parkrun he will run it at.

Never new that AlMorr. His youtube videos are great

I have come across a very interesting YouTube parkrun video from Douglas, it's entitled

"Parkrun Eurotrip 2019 Poland Sweden Denmark" (51.33 )

he takes part in 3 parkruns in those 3 countries, the Polish Park looks a little like Drumpelliier with all the trees, excellent YouTube video, if you have time, watch it.

Well done Buddy34, you'd have had a very long wait for the next parkrun on 29 February!

Think someone said 2048 not sure😊

DebstonGraduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

Yes, that's what I heard - I will be in my mid 70s by then. I really hope that I will still be around and running for the next one but like sTrongFuse, I thought I'd better go today and get it ticked off the list!

2048 is the next one. Assuming I get there, given what I put my legs through in my younger days playing rugby, if I'm even able to crawl round that one it'll be something of a miracle.

You say that, but my knees are basically held together with skin and hope. That said, I have put almost 1,000k through them since I started this lark

Assuming I'm still around, I'll be 77 the next time I get the opportunity, so I also thought I'd probably best grab the chance this time just to be on the safe side.

Well done Buddy, and congrats on the Frog badge. If I'm still around in 2048, I'll have to have a go, because I'll be 90! :)

I would love to think you will still be at parkrun at 90, after all we are fitterπŸ€—

Isn't there something totally exhilarating about running through mud and puddles! Well done you

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toMum22boys

Yes even as a child I didn't like getting dirty then that continued into me being an adult. But this running, the mudier the better🀣

When I'm back running I'd really like to investigate trail running more... bring on the mud πŸ˜‰
