parkrun birthday 🎂 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Buddy34]

This Saturday is my local parkrun 1st birthday. So I thought I'd go today. Its the first time I've ran it since 14th of March. Its so strange running it on your own but I enjoyed it.

Hardly any people about as it was pouring with rain. All the birds didn't seem to mind though.

Happy 1st birthday Drumpellier parkrun

🎂🎂🥳🥳🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Did you think back over the year as you ran Buddy and think about how you are developing? A lovely time too without the need to push x

Thanks GTFC. I wasn't at the very first one but when I found out there was one local to me I ordered my parkrun wristband and completed it on the 24th August 2019.

This time last year I didnt think I could run any more than 5k. Well I proved myself wrong and I'm glad I did 🙂

Great anniversary run with the ducks, you are laying down fantastic times. Woken by the sound of rain pouring but offered to do a pram push in the rain - yay, it stopped😃 happy running 🤗

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs, still raining here on for the day I think 😊

Great time Buddy. It must have been nice having the route to yourself and your feet allowed to find their own pace - it paid off! 😊🌷I quite like running in the rain, but there's no chance of that just now down here, it's baking...... 🌞 (I am not complaining btw - currently sitting in the sunshine in the garden with a wee beer🍺 😉).

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Always nice to have the sunshine. Enjoy🌞🌞

[Fionamags Graduate10]

I just noticed that you posted this yesterday. Good grief it was lashing yesterday!!!! That country park sounds a great place to run. What a great time you got too. Happy birthday Drumpellier!!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Yes the rain couldn't come down any heavier but if we'd to stay in because of the rain we would never be out 🤣🤣

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Especially in the West! I'm over for a few months now (20 miles from Glasgow) and it certainly is wetter here than Edinburgh.
