Beautiful morning for a celebratory Parkrun

[molly1973]

It was the 600th at Woodhouse Moor in Leeds, so luckily it wasn’t cancelled! Cold and crisp, a light dusting of snow but no ice. Pacers were cancelled to help people just go out and enjoy a gentle run, given the conditions. Coffee and cake after. And... bizarrely, I ran a PB! 2.5 mins quicker than my slog of last week and a full minute faster than my previous PB which was supported by a friend. I had to walk a few times as I was wheezy and I stopped to wrestle my jacket off after the second lap. My running recently has felt slow and sluggish, but it’s clearly paying off! Properly chuffed with myself. Happy weekend everyone 👍🏃‍♂️😊

Hey, well done on a new PB and a great run! You earned that coffee and cake! My Park Run was cancelled as the course had turned into an ice rink, but I'm hoping it will have melted by tomorrow afternoon and I'll run the course anyway on my own to see how well I do when not despairing of seeing 1000 runners disappear out of sight ahead of me, and constantly looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm not the last!

I know that feeling! Hope your ice clears soon: we have been so lucky here to have missed the worst of it

Congratulations on your new PB time. Wow 600 runs at that Venue, that’s fantastic. It was a lovely morning for it. I ran at our local, Navan Parkrun, with my 9 year old Son. It was another cracker.

Well done you, keeping it going. Winter is tough for newbies, and it takes great commitment to keep on going out.
