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 🌞🌞🌞

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. 😊

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. 😊😊

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 toughπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

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.

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 😊😊

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 isn’t as picturesque as your park run seems to be, you win some and loose some!

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toKat332zz

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.

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toKat332zz

Is there any more parkrun locations near you ?

Kat332zz profile image
Kat332zzGraduate10β€’ in reply toBuddy34

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 there’s one other. I was working up to trying them when lockdown happened

Buddy34Graduate10β€’ in reply toKat332zz

Be a good idea then when we can go back to parkrun for you to try the others 😊
