Scarva toe path

[Johnnylewis]

Finally got a Sunday morning off and finally got to this wee run. amazing. So peaceful. Mis judged the distance. 4.7k in 24.23. Think I'll be doing this one again.

Which part did you do, Scarva towards Pontzpass? Must give it go, as everywhere else I run has hills! It’ll be good to try out something flat for a change!

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to gcoulter]

Yeah scarava towards potzpass. If you go the other way and go towards tandragee football club and back its 5k. So I've been told. Pace yourself. It's totally different running on flat. The hills pace you if you know what I mean. Well that's what I've found. You from around Scarva?

[gcoulter in reply to Johnnylewis]

Loughbrickland. I used Whytes Estate to do most of my C25K (1.8m lap) over the summer. Since then I've carried on up to 10k, but everywhere I run there's hills and I'd like a wee change Have you done any Park Runs? I ran my third at Castlewellan last weekend, which is fairly flat compared to what I'm used to!

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to gcoulter]

No haven't done any yet as I work most days they are on.

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to gcoulter]

Apparently the outlet is good. Few laps around the outer part of it. Also Lurgan Road starting at church of Ireland and go towards banville is very good

I have an important outstanding visit to make to Scarva.

Family history.

Atb with your running.👏👏

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to Tbae]

Yes.

[Tbae in reply to Johnnylewis]

Cannot believe both of you are mentioning Loughbrickland and Tandragee.My Father is from precisely these parts and his parents/my grandparents are buried in Scarva.

Atb with your running.👏👏

Sounds like a plan

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Nice run... dunno what you misjudged, sounds perfect to me!

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Distance. Wasn't quite 5k

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Johnnylewis]

I take it you’ve yet to go and just run a mile (you’d be bloody fast I think) or just run with no target other than to smile. All you gotta do is enjoy it and come back for more... and then follow a plan again when you’re ready.

[Johnnylewis Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

This was new to me so I just wanted to test it out to see my distances.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Johnnylewis]

Pace was quick, experience was good, now if you were in a 5000m race and stopped to celebrate 100m after the bell you’d lose, but today you won... 300m doesn’t take away from the victory of running somewhere beautiful!
