Mid-week Parkrun! 😀🏃‍♀️

[Sandraj39]

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 .....

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

…exactly! Which is why I’m going to run it again tomorrow!😕🤣

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?

[Sandraj39 Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

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.
