5k in 25min 13secs. This doesnt tell the whole story. Had to slow down or stop for prams, grannys and kids. Not to mention the traffic lights. Grrrr. I do believe I would have had a pb if I had just went a different route. Oh well lesson learnt.

You certainly would have had sub 25 minute 5K PB if it hadn't for all those prams, grannies, kids and traffic lights.

I was watching a program about a new parkrun in Strabane N. Ireland last night and was dismayed that Strabane hasn't got any parks, on the other hand Belfast has 7 Saturday morning parkruns to choose from.

Tbh I know nothing about Strabane. My auntie does the water works each week in Belfast. She loves it

Well done you. Always best to stop at the traffic lights, even if it is frustrating! 😂
