So today I thought I'd try something new, a new route anyway. As a lot of you will know theres been no parkrun since 14th of march.

Every second Saturday my husband drove me there and I new it was about 10k so I decided to run it.

I took water with me because if the heat and a few jelly babies.

There was quite a few people at the loch where parkrun takes place but by that time I stopped my run anyway as my watch buzzed at 10k and took some water and a walk and a few photos.

Beautiful day and a good run.

Happy sunday everyone ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž

Total ran this month:- 142.83km

That is an amazing amount of kilometers that you have run this month, almost 143, that puts me to shame with a measly 60K.

So you ran TO Drumpelliier, not round it, one thing I have never done is run along roads, like my cycling I like to run off road, congratulations on all those kilometers you have ran this month, it will take quite a few more runs in June to beat that total, enjoy the rest of this lovely sunny day. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thanks AlMorr, yes I ran from my home to Drumpellier. When I got there I just had to run round a bit of the loch until my watch said 10k. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

I was just telling Irishprincess that I was out a bike ride which I do on a Sunday that I met 2 runners, the first was running 10K, one of his first, five minutes later I met a second runner who was running 12K who told me he had ran more than a100 parkruns, he asked me about my running, I told him about C25K and I had run 17 parkruns and 6/10Ks, he congratulated me and I wished him well for his 12K run

It made me think, goodness, with that man I met running all those parkruns and you and Grannyhugs running so many 10Ks, ten miles and half marathons I will have to up my runs and do more 10Ks soon, I might run my 7th 10K this Wednesday.

Just run what's enjoyable AlMorr that's so much more important. Like my run today it was very enjoyable. Where as the longer runs I find doable but quite tough๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘

Hi IP, that photograph that Buddy34 has taken is where I have ran 4 of my 17 parkruns, it is a lovely place to go a run or a walk.

What lovely photos ๐Ÿ˜€ and a great run. Did the jelly babies melt?! Well done on that total km for the month - wonderful ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks, I wrapped the jelly babies in cling film and put them in the belt I bought for running and no they didn't melt but were a bit warm. I like ' Haribo' ones as the bassetts ones make me feel sick , never liked them ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

My local park run is only just over a mile from me and I can get most of the way there through the forest, so I walk or cycle to it, but it isnโ€™t as picturesque as your park run seems to be, you win some and loose some!

Its ran in a place called Drumpellier country park , I always used to take my 2 daughters when they were young and went by train. Apart from the loch and the different birds there is a few play areas and a cafe .

This is the parkrun if you want to take a look

Looks wonderful, I get to run round a sports field three times, not very inspiring and so muddy it has to be called off on occasions.

Buddy34Graduate10 in reply to Kat332zz

Is there any more parkrun locations near you ?

Kat332zz profile image
Kat332zzGraduate10 in reply to Buddy34

Yes but they are further away, I might try Hackney as that is supposed to be flat, I could reach the one near the excel centre by tube/dlr and I think thereโ€™s one other. I was working up to trying them when lockdown happened

Be a good idea then when we can go back to parkrun for you to try the others ๐Ÿ˜Š
