Week 9 Run 1

[Languid_Lil]

Unexpectedly summoned to my parents' house; grabbed my running kit on the way to the car and snatched 40 minutes to run W9R1 beside the gorgeous Menai Straits - cold and raining but exhilarating.

Well done Languid Lil, only 2 more 30 minute runs until you graduate, I wish you good luck for your graduation run.

When you're ready, there's a parkrun at Penrhyn Castle (near Tal-y-Bont) and one in Newborough Forest (which I did with a couple of the running buddies from here). The one at Llangefni looks interesting too.

I wouldn't recommend Pwllheli parkrun to a beginner: it's a deceptively hard slog to run 5km on sand and shingle. I've had to run/walk it several times.

They are lovely places, aren't they but I live in Llandudno so my local Parkrun (see profile photo) is at RSPB Conwy - nice and flat!

So you don't fancy running up the Great Orme, then? 🤣⛰️

(I tried walking up it back in 2009 whilst waiting for my car to be fixed by the garage behind Theatr Clwyd and gave up after a few hundred metres. I wonder how I'd fare nowadays.)

I always took the cable car 😂
