Lovely pic, AlMorr! Perfect day for a long walk in the countryside. If the weather stays dry, I will go for a walk tomorrow morning, probably not as long as 10k though!

Depending on the weather, etc, tomorrow I may go for a little walk and scout out a few more running routes.

I hope you enjoyed the 10k walk, I can think of some lovely places in Scotland that I'd like to do that but alas, the Scot's hate the English :)

I do NOT hate the English, you are welcome to come to Scotland at any time.

I know AlMorr I regularly have a bit of banter with the Scots I know, I love Scotland, I was reminded of the beauty of it when I went up to Fort William to do some work last year, the scenery on the drive up was brilliant, I still have the dashcam footage somewhere.

I need to get Mrs LeeU to the end of the program and get her up to 5k and through a couple of Parkruns here, I may then talk her into a little bit of ParkRun tourism.

Beautiful AlMorr. Hope you enjoyed your walk 😊😊

AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate in reply to Buddy34

I did indeed Buddy34, you may have gathered by now that I go somewhere a bit far away from where I live on a Monday, not too far, last week it was Loch Lomond, today it was Milngavie, next week, Drumpelliier Country Park, I have been going those different places on a Monday since I retired, including when I was doing C25K, Monday was the third day of my running "week," I ran run 3 of week 5 around Linthgow Loch, my graduation run last year on a Monday was ran along the promenade at Helensburgh, so Mondays are 'away days' for me. You enjoy the rest of the day as well πŸƒπŸΎ πŸ‘

I hope there'll be cake to celebrate!

AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate in reply to Debston

They had a nice cake on their 4th Parkrun birthday, not sure if they will have a cake for the 200th run, just have to wait and see, if there is a cake stall I'll try and get through the run a bit quicker than usual to make sure I do get a piece of cake before it's eaten by all the gazelle fast sub 25 minute runners.

Update, all I got at the end of their 200th Parkrun was a little sweet, lol.

It is, I have known that place since the early 1960's when I used to cycle along it, there have been no changes in all that time, just out of camera shot there is a 'ford' where cars have to go into the water and back out again, pedestrians have a short side walk at the side of the road to avoid getting their feet wet, not too many of them around now a days.

Sounds idyllic and nice to have somewhere that stays the same
