Challenge accomplished

[Sp81]

I did it! I ran the length of the Southsea seafront plus a little bit. Over the moon happy 😃

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Great job... I really miss that place, and am trying to schedule the parkrun there in. Happy running.

[Sp81 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you, was tougher than anticipated, windy and a lot of people. But I proved to myself I can do it x

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Sp81]

I used to live behind the RM barracks at the quieter end... maybe run that way next time?

[Sp81 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes, certainly got quieter after the south parade pier x

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Congratulations Sp81. That’s my running patch too. It’s been a bit busy with school holidays but it looked a bit quieter today. Very humid though.

Do you do Southsea parkrun?

[Sp81 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

I didn’t know that Southsea had a Parkrun until it showed up on Strava.

I have been doing hogmoor inclosure in Bordon. I am in Petersfield so it’s my closest.

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Sp81]

Yes the parkrun starts near the Briny restaurant/ life guards and runs east past the Royal Marines barracks turning round at 2.5k.

Closer to you is Queen Elizabeth Country Park but it’s a steep trail run so not for me.

[Sp81 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Hogmoor inclosure has sand, hills and feels quite tough. q e park looks crazy. 1 day maybe I’ll be brave enough.

Like the thought of Southsea as a Parkrun also friends and I are going to try lakeside in September xx

[Dexy5 Graduate in reply to Sp81]

I like lakeside too. JonathanP runs there. If you want to try Southsea on 31 August, I’m doing my 50th parkrun with some friends and VRBs from here. The theme is pirates 🏴‍☠️. You are welcome to join us.

[Sp81 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Ah thank you that’s lovely. I will definitely try and make it. Congratulations on nearly reaching 50 Parkruns that’s amazing 👍🏻

Bravo! I hope the weather wasn't too hot for you. I should imagine not being beside the seaside, beside the sea!

Well done, love the front at Southsea. I assume your using this to practice your finish for the Great South Run 😉. In all seriousness, it is a lovely place to run and congratulations on ticking off a personal milestone 👍
