Mid-week Parkrun! 😀🏃‍♀️

Lovely 5k yesterday morning, on what is my local Parkrun course (photos were actually taken last week on a walk). I haven’t run this route in a while and I did enjoy it, although the grass is pretty energy sapping to run on, as is the hill ( which feels a lot harder than it look in this photo!🤣). I just took my time and plodded on - the temperature has been much better for running in recently!🙂

I wore my old Hoka’s 👟 for this run - still haven’t run in my new ones yet but will report back on them when I do.

Happy runnning everyone and if you’re stuck on the i/c, I hope that you’re back out there soon.🙂

Well done Sandraj39, it’s uncanny how runs don’t look steep in photos, but your legs knew it was.

Looks lovely Sandra 🙂 I bet those new Hokas are just sitting there pleading with you to go out for a run……👟🏃‍♀️

What a beautiful spot for a park run. Pity about the hill - but what doesn't kill us ..... :)

I hate hills (or slopes as some call them!). That grassy hill looks a challenge. We have one at our parkrun - not steep but feels endless and it’s beside a field so tractor tracks. When it’s been wet 😱😱😱😱. Then there’s a tractor crossroads just as it levels off - fair to say it’s not a pb track. Love it or hate it. 🤣 Great that you’re going back for more!

What a lovely route! Where is it? Just gorgeous! My sort of rout for sure. Is it lovely for the whole 5km?

It’s Cranleigh in Surrey. Yes, it’s lovely all the way round - finishes on a football field but is off road all the way round. Boggy in some areas when wet but of course that adds to the fun! I have never been to run it on a proper Parkrun day but my OH does and volunteers too. Averages just under 100 people I think. 🙂

Looks a lovely route Sandra 😊👍. Yes running in grass is quite hard! Nice photos.
