On holiday so what to do but go to the local parkrun, especially as only 10 minutes from campsite. Keswick Park run has inclines but managed to run it in 33 mins 10 seconds. I reckon it would have been less than 33 mins if I hadn’t stoped to photography the turn sign!

New PB for Keswick but then it’s the first time I’ve been 😂

Well Done! Met some tourists at my local Parkrun a few weeks ago - they said they always find the nearest one when they're on holiday x

I was at my first parkrun today and there were two guys from Glasgow who are trying to do every parkrun in Scotland within a year. I think there are 39 parkruns in Scotland so it’ll be quite a feat if they do it!
