Parkrun under the sun

4 Replies

Yesterday was my first parkrun and I came 90 in 108 runners, with a PB of 31m43s. It was definitelly fun but I usually run at 6.30AM, when is still a bit chill as you leave the house and at 9AM was already hot and sticky.

I was amazed at the organization, the volunteers cheering along the way and the accuracy of the timing. Kudos for parkrun!

Will definitelly go again, and maybe try to spot the other C25K team members (there are 2 more in my parkrun).

Well done on your first parkrun.

Hope there will be many more to follow.

Happy running

It's quite different to running alone isn't it? I want to do another but my Parkrun has some really steep hills which keeps me in bed on a Saturday morning!!

Have fun at the next one :-)
