Dunfermline park run

[AlMorr]

At Dunfermline, this is a photo of the home stretch of Dunfermline parkrun, I walked and ran a little of it just now, lovely day here at Dunfermline.

That looks a lovely parkrun and what a gorgeous day you have. We had a sunny day but it was cool with very strong winds here. Winter is definitely on its way.

Just as the weather is getting better, we will soon be told not to go outside.

Hi Lexi6, just heard bad news on the radio that NZ is now in a full lock down, I hope you can still like in the UK get out for a short run, if possible.

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Got out today for a little one, at this stage we can go outside for exercise but not meet up with family or friends, so I can’t get my treadmill from stepdaughter now 🙁

Update Tuesday 9th June, I have just heard the news on RNZ Concert that things are almost back to normal in New Zealand, might not be long until parkruns resume.

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes its great news Alan, we’re very happy, although its been very hard, but not as hard as some have had it, so it doesn’t feel right to complain. I think when parkrun re starts I will wait a while before I go back. I’m sure there will be loads of new runners and a long shuffle to the start, not a time to try for a PB 😂. You are doing brilliantly with all the 5 and 10ks you are running. 👍

Weather is lovely today AlMorr, great you're making the most of it🌞🌞🏃‍♂️

Thursday is my walking club day, but like everything else that was cancelled so I just thought I would take a little trip to Dunfermline and have a walk around the exact course of the parkrun, I even ran, but just a little.

Lovely. I can just imagine it full of runners, but sadly not for a while. While lots of people turning up together on Saturday is a no-no, maybe the FB group for the parkrun could be used to arrange times for people to run it... bit like tee times in golf.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It would not be advisable for everyone to turn up for a "unofficial " parkrun on Saturday. I will run a 5K locally on Saturday morning at the same time as parkrun is on, but not where I took that photo.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yeah I know, that’s not what I was suggesting... but the pictured scene could easily have a solo runner in it all day Saturday, which would be a good thing, everyone turning up at 9am would be very bad.

Looks lovely, and not another person to be seen 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

I waited until several dog walkers and a few runners passed before taking the photo.

Beautiful pic. Bit overcast here but hey ho...spring has sprung 🌻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Indeed Nilsam, even if there is a frost, it soon goes.

[Debston Graduate]

Look at that lovely blue sky! It's grey down here in Kent today but the spring flowers are providing some bursts of colour.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Debston]

This particular part of the park is especially beautiful in May when all those trees you see are all in full cherry blossom bloom.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

That looks lovely AM! Very mizzly here on the south coast today but very mild so hopefully spring is really on its way. Happy running when you can!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

The weather everywhere is to get better in the next few days, there was a slight ground frost this morning but it soon went, I am happy you liked the photo. I will continue to run, this Saturday morning at 9.30 I will run a 5K, a sort of virtual parkrun, that will be for the Vitality World Running Cup Healthunlocked team, it should get me to 35 Kilometers ran.

Oh what a lovely day for a run in the park! Rather different to the wet drizzly weather on my run earlier today but it's still great to be out of doors. Cleaner air for all too just now, at least there's one upside to it all. 🌸🏃‍♀️😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Hidden]

👍 It was mostly a walk, but being used to running, I did run for a short part to keep the old legs in running order.
